Bell Manor is certainly a "data driven" campus.  Students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade all have data folders!  It's true-they may not look alike, but they ALL have them.  There are graphs and charts in every classroom, documenting all types of data, everything from understanding the main idea in a story to knowing their shapes!

On the afternoon of November 11th (school was out for the students) the Bell Manor staff had a special treat-they were able to visit other classrooms in the building and see how Continuous Improvement was being used.   Teachers in several different grade levels gave a mini lesson on how they were using CI.  Later, after filling out a plus/delta about the day, everyone agreed sharing ideas and brainstorming strategies across classrooms and grade levels was an exceptional way to spend an afternoon in professional development.
