 * Math:
 * - Joanna reviewed the GMADE data
 * - Given information on how to interpret the data
 * - GMADE data will be able to show students improved even though may not be proficient on PSSAs
 * - If IEP is written as in-class support, then cannot move to Joanna's smaller class. Rewrite as: "In-class support OR teacher to student ratio must be _ __to__ __"? 1:10 as the ratio?
 * - Use GMADE data to help determine which teacher the Fundamental Pre-Algebra students get
 * - Using Joanna as in-class support in a Traditional class, allows some students who are LS with the aptitude to get more success in a higher class
 * - How will this effect them at the HS if they don't have the in-class support?
 * - Use profiles of kids to determine how we can support them better
 * - Can use class data to help focus your class on a specific error
 * Ex: If they are making a lot of sign errors, when you teach integers focus on signs
 * - Look at stanine and if it is out of the ordinary for that class, check their analysis by error. Is it something that we can work on him with or is it a maturity issue? Ex: errors in operation = work with, errors in application may be a maturity issue
