Planning Activity
Find a Partner
Discuss
What do I know about planning? What work have I done in planning? What would I like to learn about
planning?
3
Agenda Planning Overview
SMART Goals
Benchmarking
Web-Based Application
Lessons Learned, Next Steps
4
Planning PhilosophyPlanning can be:
A Globe
An Atlas
A Roadmap A To-Do List for the School
Plan as Globe
6
Purpose for CSIP Changes Change the content and format of the
CSIP in order to make the plan:
Simple Useful
Make it a “working” document from which schools can measure progress towards goals through benchmarks
7
Developing SMART Goals and Identifying Benchmarks
8
S.M.A.R.T. Goals
Find a Partner Write down what you think SMART stands for:
S =
M =
A =
R =
T=
9
SMART Goals Specific and Strategic
Think through the entire goal – who, what, where, when, which, why
Measurable Concrete criteria for measuring progress
Attainable Focus on priorities
Results-oriented Set realistic goals based on trends
Timebound Set specific timelines for attaining goal
Reference: Conzemius, A., O’Neill, J. (2001) Building Shared Responsibility for Student Learning, Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, Alexandria: VA
10
SMART Goals Goals should specify improvement targets by defining
the performance level (“end-result”) you would like to accomplish.
You should have in mind the specific tools or measures that you will use to monitor progress on each goal
SMART Goal: By when, who will do what as measured by what
SMART Goal Example: By June 2007, student attendance will increase to 94.7 as
reported in JCPS pupil monthly attendance report
11
Goal Suggestions Schools should include both main goals and
subgroup goals
Main goals are centered around CATS goals and encompass strategies that apply to all students
Subgroup goals for subpopulations include strategies that target the specific subpopulation
Schools can use the goal calculator in the “planning tools” to enter previous KCCT academic data and goals for the next school year will be automatically generated
12
SMART Goals
By May 2007, our school’s Math Index will increase by 16.40 for a total Math Index of 79.51 as measured on the Kentucky Core Content Test.
By 2007, the percentage of students scoring proficient or distinguished will increase to the total percentage of 32.14 scoring proficient or distinguished in Math as measured on the Kentucky Core Content Test.
13
SMART Goals
By March 2007, decrease the number of African American males scoring novice to 25% and raise the African American males scoring above proficient to 30% as measured by math learning checks

Sample School CATS Scores
Reading 2007 Index 75.0 Proficient/Distinguished 51% Novice 21% FRL Novice 36% FRL Proficient 32%
15
Activity 1: Develop SMART goal
1. Review the Data from Sample School
2. Identify the target group (Who)
3. Identify the performance level you would like to accomplish. (Calculation: Distance from 100 or 0; divide by 4; add to 2006 score) (What)
4. Identify timelines for measuring progress and attaining the target (When)
5. Write goal as a SMART goal
16
Things to Keep in Mind: Do’s and Don’ts for SMART Goals
Establishing Goals Do begin by reviewing current data trends
before establishing goals Do let your goal drive your activities. Do ensure that all goals can be quantified and
have a date and a measure associated with them Do think through the number stated in the goal.
Is it a realistic number? Does it follow the trend data?
Is your goal a SMART goal?
17
Benchmarking A method to determine student achievement
throughout the year
A method to take the pulse of student achievement throughout the year.
A system of Learning Checks that occur throughout the year.
A system of Continuous assessments that measure learning throughout the year.
18
Summative Assessments Used to measure goals Assessments of Learning
How much a student has learned at the end of course, semester, or unit
Examples:CATS ACT SAT Final ExamsUnit Exams Projects
Assessment Overview
19
Benchmarking
Formative Assessments Used to measure progress toward goal Assessments for Learning
Helps teachers adjust instruction
Examples:Quiz Homework ObservationsChecklists Student WorkMini-CATS like tests Multiple Choice ChecksLearning Checks
20
Goal – Benchmark MappingGoal Focus Possible Benchmarks
Content Index (i.e. Reading, Math)
Classroom Assessment System (CAS)School developed scrimmage tests
% Novice or % Proficient/Dist.
Classroom Assessment System (CAS)Predictive Assessment Series (PAS)
% Proficient/Dist. for Subgroups
Classroom Assessment System (CAS)Predictive Assessment Series (PAS)
Attendance Monthly pupil attendance report
Parent Involvement Parent-teacher conferencesPTA membership Parent visits (school sign-in sheets)
Suspensions Monthly suspension report
21
Benchmarking Activity
Form a small group of 3 or 4 or 5 Round Robin and share with the
group the Benchmarking assessments you use in your school/district.
What data does the benchmark provide? (i.e. Novice levels, Index scores, percentiles, etc.)
22
CSIP Web Application
23
Web-Based Application
Change the content and format of the CSIP in order to make the plan: Simple Useful
Make it a “working” document from which schools can measure progress towards goals through benchmarks-make it a To-Do List
24
Advantages to New CSIP Model
The new CSIP: includes built-in planning tools measures progress towards goals streamlines planning and
implementation offers greater flexibility in adjusting plan includes custom-based reports saves time spent on formatting issues
25
New Plan Format
Priority Need Goal Benchmarks for Year
Measure and Date Projected Data and Actual Data
Strategy Area Activity, Responsible Person, Dates Funding I & I (Built in for ongoing use)
26
New Plan Format
What’s Not In Printed Plan
Causes/Contributing Factor (moved to worksheet tool)
Measurable Objectives/Goals streamlined to a SMART Goal
27
New Plan Format
28
Log In Screen
Log In Screen allows users to enter into their school’s CSIP application
29
Maintain
Maintenance Screen allows users to toggle between current and next year’s plan
30
Main Menu
Screen where all plan components are located: approval page, executive summary and action components (including status information)
Menu Bar:
JCPS Home – returns users to JCPS homepage
Planning Tools – link to goal generator, causes worksheet, review rubric, etc.
Help? – link to training manual, frequently asked questions and contact info

Approval PageApproval page is the screen where users enter information about their school council members who have approved the plan and the date when the plan was approved
32
Executive Summary
Executive Summary screen allows schools to enter information about their planning process (i.e. their needs assessment, development of goals, evaluation method, and stakeholder involvement).
33
Action Component: Priority Need and Measurable Goal
• The Needs & Goal Screen is where the user enters priority need and measurable goal.
• The priority need should represent the current data, while the goal should represent what data point the school would like to achieve by the next year
34
Benchmark The Benchmark screen is
where the user enters information on how the school will measure progress towards its goal.
The benchmark should represent a proxy measure or indicator of the goal
Schools should enter at least 2 dates for when they will measure progress
35
Add Strategy• The Add Strategy screen is where the user enters all
information for one strategy
36
Strategy/Activity (with data)
37
Report Query
The Report Query Screen is where users can print out custom-based reports by querying their CSIP on certain fields: Action component,
NCLB/SB168 Requirement, Person Responsible, Funding Source
38
Print a Report (Entire CSIP)• To print the entire CSIP, click on “Print Report” from the Main
Menu and your plan will print as a PDF file
Sample School Plan – Main Goal
Sample School Plan – Subgroup Goal
41
Web-based Application Highlights Common, easy to use format for multiple
users.
Allows for easy and continual updating CSIP can become a “To-Do List” for School I & I built in for continual monitoring/reporting
Benchmarking becomes expectation
• Can create unique sorts or queries• Printouts by funding, responsible person
