Complete the Family MRA for Winter 2022!
It's time for our second Measurable Results Assessment (MRA) of the 2022-2023 school year!The MRA is a rigorously developed tool used to annually collect, analyze, and report student-, staff-, and school-level outcomes related to the focus on improving leadership, culture, and academics. It can be used to help a school identify its strengths and weaknesses, develop improvement plans, and monitor progress. The MRA measures are aligned with the highly effective practices outlined in the Leader in Me Framework. This alignment empowers schools to move from data insights to action plans and best leverage their limited time and resources to meet their goals. At P.S. 349, we also use the MRA to progress-monitor our CEP goals.The survey window is open from January 3 through February 3. Please make sure you complete the survey.
