Let us know if you would like Alpine to bring this great, new workshop to your district!

Districts can now set their own data embargoes for any assessment in Alpine, from newly released State Assessment results to locally-developed End of Course Exam scores.

Embargoes allow admin teams time to review data using Alpine's data analysis tools prior to sharing results widely.

The public side of the Alpine website has undergone a complete update with a new look and navigation. We hope you like it!

Alpine has set up hundreds of large scale and national assessments (e.g., NWEA-MAPS, DIBELS-Next, Fountas & Pinnell, ACT). The team also designs custom setups for each district's home-grown assessments.

To start the 2015-16 school year, Alpine has set up over 2,000 measures in all - each complete with all of the reporting features that Alpine provides.

The 2015-16 Alpine Training & Professional Development catalog is now available.

Sessions include:

• Alpine's Basic Boot Camp: Building Foundational Skills
• Alpine's Overview Training for New Staff
• Flexing Your Alpine Muscles: Intermediate & Advanced Skills
• Nuts & Bolts of Student Plans, Progress Monitoring, and Interventions
• Guided Data Exploration: Introduction to Data Interpretation
• Data Coaching for PLCs: Leading Your District in Data Interpretation through Deep Data Dives
• Developing a Strong Data Culture
• Making Student Learning Plans Work for You
• Using Data to Inform the Student Learning Objective (SLO) Process

The focus for this year's sessions will be on using Alpine to make meaning from your data. All sessions are intended for an administrative users and data leaders audience, and content will not be introductory-level or cover basic user skills.

Alpine's popular progress monitoring tool has been enhanced: the design process is more intuitive; there is more flexibility in goal setting; intervention lines can be added directly into the graphs.

As before, progress monitoring reports can be appended to any student plan record.

Alpine's internal site has been restructured to accomodate new analytical features, such as interactive graphs, multi-assessment data dashboards, and automated reminders for student plans.

Although these features have been available throughout the 2013-14 school year, each district was given the full year to transition to the site at their preferred speed.
