District-Determined Measures (DDM) Resources


MA ESE Resources that provide targeted guidance for schools and districts at each stage of DDM development, were created with CVTE educators and WestEd last year.  While these resources describe work underway in MA CVTE schools and districts, the recommendations, ideas, and processes will benefit ALL districts as they determine where they are in the process of implementation, and where they want to go.



Some highlights:

In Section II:  Links to informative and practical resource guides for each of the four stages of Implementation.  For those currently in "Stage 3: Evaluating", you will find great information in Guises F and G to support collaborative DDM review and improvement discussions this year
.
Appendix D-1: 1-page Summary of the Stages and Steps in DDM Development and Implementation 

Appendix A:  Includes samples of currently used CVTE Assessments which could be used as DDM's.

Appendix D-2:  District-Determined Measures Review and Discussion Guide
