How does the STAT Work? STEP 1: Enter students’ start and end times, days per week, and days per year STEP 2: Break down how time is allocated across a week for a “typical” student STEP 3: Make estimates about lost instructional minutes within classes due to daily interruptions STEP 4: Make estimates about lost instructional hours throughout the year due to special events
How does the STAT Work? • STEP 5: View your school’s results. Print/save a copy of your report PDF. STEP 6: Complete the STAT by submitting it to NCTL. Print or save your report prior to submission. You can always log-in and view your submitted reports.
