We needed a system to better understand the incoming students that trickled in throughout the year. I made some suggestions on the interview style to try and help students be assigned to a suitable class.  Most academies have students complete a paper test and then sift them into the mix.  Our school attempted to create a way to stand out by only accepting those that could use English as a communication tool, rather than something to merely test.  It was also important to see if any other factors; personality, motor skills, would hold them back.

     In true old school fashion, scores are being entered into a spreadsheet that is accessible by management.  When it comes time to evaluate whether a student should stay in a certain class or not, we can now look back and check their scores.  Previously we didn't have any system for keeping track of student improvement or regress.

     Each time we had a PLC meeting, notes would be taken to help everyone recall past events and note progress.  It was in a shared doc for the teachers of a specific grade level.
