Basic Philosophy in Traveling on any Journey

Determine the following:

Where are you? Requires Measures

(Examples: MSP, MAP, EOC, SAT, AP, DRA2, Classroom Measures)

Where do you want to go?Benchmarking with other schools or state/national standards

How are you going to get there?Need a strategy or process (Example: School-wide focus on

assessment; Provide data, accept feedback, provide resources, support, and model the importance to students and stakeholders)

What is Data-Informed Instruction? A process of collecting and analyzing

data from multiple sources to inform teachers on “the next step” to inform instruction.

Use of data in this way also allows educators to be reflective practitioners, monitoring their own teaching practices and growth.

Provides an opportunity for collaboration with colleagues using a common frame to talk about student learning.

Data should launch a conversation about what’s working, what’s not, and what will be done differently as a result.

Connections to New State Evaluation Criteria

Centering instruction on high expectations for student achievement

Recognizing individual student learning needs and developing strategies to address those needs

Using multiple student data elements to modify instruction and improve student learning

Exhibiting collaborative & collegial practice focusing on improving instructional practice & improving student learning

Reflect…..

Any new thoughts on the initial foundations for WHY to do this work?

Considering Stages of Change…What are some primary barriers to an initiative?

What are the categories or themes that emerge?

What stage of change do these themes suggest?Awareness? Informational? Personal? Management?

Consequences? Collaboration? Refinement?

How does this information impact considerations for next steps?

Reflect: a New Role for Educators

Shift from teachingto…..

ensuring that all students are actually learning.

Do our assessment, instructional, & grading practices reflect this new role?

Our Journey…….

Did we meet today’s outcomes?

What does our school need next? THANKS!
