S1 Episode 4: Arizona's School Letter Grades
Students aren’t the only ones anxiously awaiting their grades — schools are too. State law requires all Arizona district and charter schools be assessed and given a letter grade by the Department of Education. This week, “3Ps in a Pod” hosts, Angelia and Donnie, discuss the newly amended evaluation process with Chris Kotterman. The Arizona School Boards Association's Director of Governmental Affairs shares why the “report card” should include more than test scores. Mark your calendar for next week’s episode when we’ll discuss the importance of carefully navigating holidays in the classroom. As always, don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on iTunes!

To support educators along the continuum, the Center developed “3Ps in a Pod” to further dissect practice, policy, and passion in the field of education.
