Description: This session will use A Practitioner's Guide to Implementing Early Warning Systems to describe how to install and use an early warning system (EWS). The session is the third in a four-part series on using non-assessment data, organized by the Colorado Department of Education. REL Central will begin with a discussion of the session objectives and an overview of EWS-related resources. We will then provide guidance on how to implement each of the five EWS components described in the practitioner's guide. During discussion of each component, we will share the evidence-based recommendations from the guide, provide examples from prior EWS implementation, and allow for small-group discussion.
Partnership or Research Alliance: Colorado School Improvement Research Partnership
Audience: The primary audience includes local education agency administrators, teachers, and assessment directors. Attendees will include individuals who collect and use data to inform instructional practices and program policies.
