Many were curious and asked, \"Is that where our scores will go?\" Others immediately started comparing progress markers, excited to see where their grade would land. The sense of pride and ownership was clear—they love knowing that their hard work is recognized and shared with the school community.\r\n\r\nNext, our teachers will begin using the data wall regularly to track progress after each assessment cycle.
