 * Topic: **DIBELS/TRC DATA
 * Actions/Next Steps: ** All teachers completed DIBELS testing and are in the process of entering the DATA into the YA DIBELS/TRC Assessment Excel Sheet. Teachers expressed concerns over the amount of time required to complete the task and the purpose of the task. The MClass website provides teachers and administrators the DATA necessary to analyze next steps for students.

Nicole shared that she emailed (Carol/Jinny?) several questions regarding entering the DATA. For example; The color coding is very confusing? No way to make students Tier 3 on TRC? Is YA going to Tier students with a (Level C) benchmark as MClass does or are we going to use YA benchmarks? Team feels that YA needs to be in agreement with overall Tiers and groups.
