4. What do we want the data to tell us? • How well are our students learning Spanish or Japanese? (Can we see growth across years?) • Do students learn Japanese at the same rate as Spanish? • How well did we do in assessing our students’ language proficiency? (How do ELLOPA ratings compare to Teacher Ratings?) John Stanford International School
