What is the goal for this discussion?
Director Carr - commit directionally to some of the recommendations on slides 18 and 22. (She does not want

Board Evaluation Work Session
I am going to attempt to do some live blogging from the Board's Work Session to evaluate their work.
I had wonder how this might go and I already see some unfamiliar faces sitting in the Board waiting area (they look like consultants) and the facilitiator, Bob Ness, that the Alliance likes to use.

Meanwhile, states, districts and educators implementing the Common Core State Standards have set new goals for student learning, and they need effective tools and resources to ensure students meet those goals.
Better, more integrated technology and data analytics can help by painting a more complete picture of student learning and making it easier to find learning materials that match each student’s learning needs. Unfortunately,
