Leveling It Up’s Post

✨ “It was like the kitchen sink.” ✨ That’s how Alise Perry, Director of Literacy at Global Preparatory Academy, described their approach to reading assessment before they invested in streamlining their strategy. By gaining a deeper understanding of the purpose of each assessment at a granular level, Alise and her team were able to streamline their approach and create the time and guidance teams needed to make meaning from the data on a faster cadence. The result? A more efficient strategy and a calendar of data meetings that eliminates the guesswork from, "What should we be looking at right now?" (Spoiler alert: creating a faster response cycle leads to stronger student outcomes, too.) We’re on-the-edge-of-our-seats excited to hear Alise tell the full story at our January 15 webinar, 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆.

🚀 Wondering if the #6th FutFin.Info - Future of Financial Information #Conference is right for you? 🚀 This is what Mitchell Petersen, keynote speaker at the #1st Edition in 2019, had to say: _"Often conferences have a "theme" and they go for good papers, but the papers let alone sessions do not tie together or build upon each other. I thought the Organizers did an incredibly good job of finding a truly compelling topic and then assembling a set of papers that not only matched the topic but were also connected to each other. The papers in each session complimented each other, and the sessions built upon each other. You saw this as presenters and discussants referred to other sessions. I truly enjoyed the conference."_ Five years on, I believe his words still apply to the program of the upcoming Edition, taking place at Stockholm Business School, Stockholm University and online. 📅 Dates: 27-28 May 2024 🌟 Highlights of the Conference: ✅ Engaging keynote sessions from industry leaders ✅ Collaborative paper presentations that build on each other ✅ Dynamic discussions and networking opportunities ✅ Insightful panels with top-tier professionals and academics Registration to attend in person is already closed but you can still join us online!
