In this episode of TransformED with StepUp, we’re excited to welcome Amanda Sheets, Director of Assessment for Farmington School District in Farmington, Missouri. Under Amanda’s leadership, the district has made impressive progress in aligning teaching practices and student learning outcomes with priority standards using StepUp’s tools and well-structured pacing guides.
Amanda shares how these resources have streamlined teachers’ workflows, putting all course materials and standards at their fingertips. This approach has allowed educators to gain a deeper understanding of the standards, enhancing their teaching effectiveness. Additionally, Amanda highlights the impact of introducing students to self-assessment standards, which has empowered them to track their own progress throughout the year.
Tune in to explore how Farmington’s use of StepUp tools is shaping a more cohesive, standards-based approach to teaching and assessment, driving meaningful outcomes for both educators and students.
