  • Families are better equipped to serve as partners in learning when they understand how and when students are assessed, how to interpret the results, and what the data reveals about their child’s progress, strengths, and learning needs. This session explores how educators can communicate insights from EVASS, classroom assessments, and other measures of student growth and achievement in clear, family-friendly ways. Participants will gain practical strategies for helping families and caregivers understand the data, ask informed questions, partner with educators, and use the information to support learning at home.
