Recommended IDW Protocol 1. Is your district’s Teacher Interface page activated?

2. Remind teachers to log on to their current (rerostered)

Teacher Interface page.

3. Teachers should carefully review their current students’ Gap

and Item Analysis Reports.

4. Teachers should be given the District Gap and WASA Reports

for the released “annotated” questions.

5. Teachers should be given the SED link to the released

“annotated questions.”

6. Teachers should use their Teacher Interface Gap and IA

Reports along with the District Released Question Gap

and WASA Reports to identify and remediate current

student deficits.

To sum up….

• Every teacher has a right to see how

prepared his or her current students are to

receive this year’s instruction.

• Every teacher also has a right to see how

the students he or she instructed last year

performed on last year’s assessments

(2012-13 Released Question Gap and

WASA Reports).
