o Conversation around whether we should include SAGE data within the Literacy category as we do include it within the Math component . It would allow consistency between both the Math and Literacy components . Would it be a disadvantage to add SAGE in addition to the other assessments within Math? . Would it harm morale for teachers if we include it?  The data is still being tracked, it is just not tied to CSIP . SAGE results are not known throughout the year (it is a year-end reporting statistic) so the AIMSweb and DIBELSNet data will continue to be the primary metrics used for tracking. . Including SAGE within Math would add transparency . Julie will take feedback back to faculty as to whether or not we should include it in the CSIP and report back to the SCC by email. SCC members are requested to come in and sign approval of the plan once the feedback has been reviewed and the CSIP finalized. o Behavior: . Maintenance based .
