Literacy is a foundational pillar and strong indicator of learning; therefore, the State of Arizona has chosen the AzMerit-ELA as our State Identified Measurable Results (SIMR). To focus on literacy at a formative developmental stage and toward an alignment with Move On When Reading (MOWR) initiatives, the SSIP SIMR has a focus on the progression of literacy development toward comprehension in Grade 3.

DATA MANAGEMENT ALERT

NEW Special Education Data Dashboard

The NEW Special Education Data Dashboard (SEDD) opens on Wednesday, May 18, 2022 (today). The purpose of this application is to provide a one-stop shop for public education agencies (PEAs) to securely view their special education data as well as a redacted statewide view. By viewing relevant data in one place, PEAs can see how it all ties together and ultimately, how it all culminates into the indicators outlined in the State Performance Plan (SPP) / Annual Performance Report (APR).
