Scope of Work:
TAGAC began the year by reviewing its scope of work and identifying key activities it could undertake to fulfill its scope. These activities were recorded and organized into an overall roadmap for the year. (See: Appendix A).
|
|
Background:
|
Over the past year, the Talented and Gifted Advisory Committee (TAGAC) focused its attention on current metrics used to measure the success of Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) Talented and Gifted (TAG) program, culminating in a collaboration with ACPS to provide key questions the ACPS TAG program evaluation needed to be able to answer to determine TAG success in ACPS. Members of TAGAC contributed questions, suggestions, and conducted data analysis using publicly available data to better understand how ACPS currently measures its TAG program, and how evaluation could be improved. As part of this work, TAGAC invited Terri Mozingo, Ed.D, Clinton Page, and Jennifer Whitson from the Office of Accountability (OA) to discuss current data collected, and determine whether collecting other data points currently not collected was feasible.
When funds were secured within the Alexandria City budget for a TAG evaluation of the 2012 Local Plan of the Education of the Gifted (“TAG Local Plan,”) TAGAC engaged with ACPS to ensure alignment of all TAGAC recommendations around evaluation, measures of success identified in the TAG Local Plan, and throughout TAGAC’s work this past year. This report details specific TAGAC activities for ensuring robust evaluation of Alexandria’s TAG program, organized by month.
