Closing the Achievement Gap
students can learn
and succeed—and
show it.
Parents support
their children’s
learning both inside and outside the
classroom. They
partner with teach-
ers, and respond to
outreach. They
worry less about
advocating for their
children to get
good grades and
focus on making
Teachers must es-
tablish ambitious
goals and learning
objectives for stu-
dents that guide
each student’s
mindset that he/she can achieve at his/
her personal best.
When these high
expectations are
coupled with the
students’
knowledge that
teachers believe in
them, they so often
rise to the chal-
lenge.
Growth Mindset in a
school:
Administrators
support teachers’
learning. They are
responsive to hon-
est feedback, rather than defensive.
Teachers collabo-
rate with their col-
leagues and instruc-
tional leaders, ra-
ther than shut their
classroom doors
and fly solo. They
truly believe that all
sure kids are being
challenged and put
in the effort need-
ed to grow.
Students are en-
thusiastic, hard-
working, persistent
learners. They take
charge over their
own success.

er facts and catego-
rize what we see,

Differentiate the
ways that students
can express what they know. Strate-
gic Networks are
the "how" of learn-
ing with regard to
planning and per-
forming tasks—
how we organize
and express our
ideas.
Stimulate interest
Bottom line: Teach-
ers in classrooms
must break down
all barriers to
learning, so that all
students can have
access to the con-tent and opportuni-
ty to meet high ex-
pectations.
UDL provides a
blueprint for creat-
ing instructional
goals, methods, ma-
terials, and assess-
ments that work
for everyone--not a
single, one-size-fits-
all solution but ra-
ther flexible ap-
proaches that can
be customized and
adjusted for individ-ual needs.
UDL At A Glance:
Present infor-
mation and content
in different ways.
Recognition Net-
works are the
"what" of learn-
ing—how we gath-
and motivation for
learning. Affective
Networks are the
"why" of learning—
how learners get
engaged and stay
motivated and how
they are chal-
lenged, excited, or
interested.

ALL Students—Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
The Multi-Tiered
System of Support
(MTSS) model is a
comprehensive,
instructional ap-
proach that ad-
dresses closing achievement gaps
and providing high-
quality differentiat-
ed instruction in all
academic areas to
all students. This
model has formerly
been referred to as

Stage 0: Preparations
level administration
for all grade levels,
teacher leaders
from grade levels/
content areas, in-
tervention special-
ists, special educa-
tion directors, and
curriculum direc-
tors.
Create BLTs with
the following mem-
bership: building-
level administra-
Ensure that the
School Board un-
derstands the OIP;
Share the District
Plan with the
Board.
Ensure that the Su-
perintendent is
present and fosters
a culture of contin-
uous improvement.
Assign an Internal
Facilitator to every
building to assist
with plan imple-
mentation and
monitoring.
Create a DLT with
the following mem-
bership: superin-
tendent, board
member, treasurer/
federal programs
director, building-
tion, teacher lead-
ers from grade lev-
els/content areas,
intervention spe-
cialists, and addi-
tional support staff.
Create TBTs with
the following mem-
bership: teachers
from grade levels/
content areas, in-
tervention special-
ists, and additional
support staff.
Collaborative Processes
need for change —
not change for
change sake.
Involve the teach-
ers. Because they
are the ones imple-menting much of
the plan, they often
have valuable in-
sights into what is
The superintendent
and DLT establish the
district message to in-
clude:
Share the Vision/
Mission and the plan.
Demonstrate ad-
ministrative sup-
port for the plan.
Establish a culture
of continuous im-
provement.
Determine the are-
as in need of im-
provement and
communicate the
needed most and
what may or may
not be effective.
Remove barriers.
Address needs: PD
& equipment/
supplies.
Celebrate success!
District Message
actively, practice
timely attendance,
participate by shar-
ing personal
thoughts/
experiences, etc.
At each DLT and
BLT, asses how the
change is working
Share & understand
District and Build-
ing ESEA Waiver
designations and
SST support ser-
vices.
Communicate the
established timeline
for assessments,
TBT 5 step pro-
cesses, BLT 5 step
processes, DLT 5
step processes.
Communicate
ground rules at
each meeting: listen
and if the change
delivered the plan
results that were
intended. Then
communicate via
feedback from the
DLT to the BLT
and from the BLT
to the TBTs.

Stage 1: Needs Assessment
Provide data analy-
sis tools and/or
training to teams
Use the created
needs assessment to write the plan
goals.
Learn how the new
Decision Frame-
work (DF) works.
Ensure everyone
understands the data needed to re-
spond to the new
DF.
Identify additional
data needed to de-
velop a compre-
hensive needs as-
sessment—student
performance, per-ception, program,
and demographic.
Refer to OIP Re-
source 6.
Decision Framework
questions: — What
steps could be tak-
en next? — What
strategies might be
most effective? —
What else would
you like to see hap-pen? What kinds of
assignments or as-
sessments could
provide this infor-
mation? — What
does this conversa-
tion make you
think about in
Many data analysis pro-
tocols exist. This is
just one example:
Step 1: What parts
of this data catch
your attention? Just the facts.
Step 2: What does
the data tell us?
What does the data
NOT tell us?
Step 3: What good
news is there to
celebrate?
Step 4: What are
the problems of
practice suggested by the data?
Step 5: What are
the implications of
this work for
teaching and as-
sessment? Consid-
er the following
terms of your own
practice? About
teaching and learn-
ing in general? —
What are the im-
plications for equi-
ty?

Stage 2: Focused Plan
imum proficiency
levels.
Write an adult im-
plementation indi-
cator to monitor each strategy. This
will gauge when/if
the strategy has
been met. Evi-
dence may include
observations, sur-
veys, lesson plan
analysis, TBT 5 step
processes, etc.
Write two to three
strategies per goal
that are action ori-
ented and that de-
scribe the key ap-
proaches the dis-trict will imple-
ment.
Ensure strategies
are consistent with
current evidence
and research.
OLAC states that
two results indicate
whether improving
instructional prac-
tice and student
performance are
being implemented
successfully: im-provement in in-
structional practice
districtwide to in-
corporate higher
order thinking and
21st century skills
and 100 % of stu-
dents meeting
more rigorous min-
Write student per-
formance indicator
to monitor each
strategy. This will
gauge when/if the
strategy has been
met.
Review all goals
and strategies and
evaluate the strate-
gies and indicators
using OIP Re-source 9.
Strategies
Write one or two
academic goals.
Ensure both read-
ing and math are
addressed.
Write one culture/
climate goal—high
moderate and in-
tensive districts.
Write SMART
goals.
Write three-
year goals.
Incorporate
monthly 5 step
process monitor-
ing and yearly
OIP stages moni-
toring.
Goals
strategy to be im-
plemented? What
resources are
needed to support
this strategy?
What data is need-
ed to support this strategy?
Review each action
Write action steps
for each strategy.
Begin each action
step with a verb.
Determine action
steps by asking:
What professional
development is
needed to achieve
this strategy?
What communica-
tion needs to take
place in regard to this strategy?
What technology is
needed for this
step monthly to
determine if it
should be kept,
dropped, or modi-
fied.
Determine month-
ly if additional ac-
tion steps should
be added.
Action Steps
Page 8 SST 16
Monitoring should
be collected so that
the district is moni-
toring at least quar-
terly and the build-
ing at least month-ly.
Refer to OIP Re-
source 24 for assis-
tance with identify-
ing monitoring pro-
cesses. Other
monitoring re-
sources are OIP
Resources 16 and
25.
Design an inten-
tional, consistent
system of adult im-
plementation and
student perfor-
mance indicators both districtwide
and buildingwide.
Indicators need to
be monitored by
looking for specific
student and adult
behaviors. “Look
Fors” must be ex-
plicit about what is
to be seen, evi-
dence-based, trans-
parent to everyone,
focused, aligned to
grade level expec-tations (when ap-
propriate), and spe-
cific to the strategy.
Refer to OIP Re-
source 20 for a
protocol to devel-
op “Look Fors.”
Make monthly cor-
rections based on
the gap between
the projected and
the actual adult and
student measures,
utilizing a feedback
loop to the appro-
priate teams.
Determine a vehi-
cle to generalize
successes across
the district so that the lessons learned
become systemic.
Refer to the Proto-
col for Analyzing
Success in OIP Re-
source 20.
Monitoring
Apply a balanced
assessment system.
Refer to OIP Re-
source 19.
Ensure systemic imple-mentation:
Create TBT sched-
ules that support
collaboration
Ensure systematic im-
plementation:
Maintain a culture
of inquiry through
the DLT and BLT 5
step process to support the work
of TBTs. Refer to
OIP Resources 13
and 15.
Examine district
and building condi-
tions to support
collaborative
teams. Refer to
OIP Resource 12A-B.
Align PD to achieve
results
Ensure consistent
use of the 5 step
process as a rou-
tine. Refer to OIP
Resource 22.
Use protocols to
support the OIP.
Refer to OIP Re-
source 20A-D.

Stage 3: 5 Step Process
mine patterns,
trends, and urgent
needs. Determine
common errors
and/or misconcep-
tions. (Having the
student work pre-sent may help.)
Steps 3 & 4: Estab-
lish expectations
for all teachers to
implement SPECIF-
IC changes during
core instruction.
De-
Teacher teams use the
5 step process with the
goals of:
Working in a cul-
ture that supports
the effective use of data to improve
OVERALL student
performance (focus
on group, not stu-
dent).
Presenting data in
ways that identify
gaps and trends in
student perfor-
mance that re-
quires intentional
decisions regarding
curriculum and in-
struction.
Working to close
achievement gaps
by accelerating the
progress of low
performing student
groups to meet the
performance level of regularly devel-
oping peer groups.
Step 1: Collect and
chart SHARED,
aggregated data and
data broken down
by subgroups.
Step 2: Analyze stu-
dent work relative
to the data. Deter-
mine OVERALL
(not individual stu-
dent) strengths and
areas of concern by
TOPIC. Deter-
termine groups,
differentiation,
length of imple-
mentation
(minutes, days,
weeks). Deter-
mine post-
assessment.
Step 5: Analyze
post assessment
data. Share best
practices. Com-
pare to pre assess-
ment data.
TBTs
back to BLT from
DLT relative to
growth and areas
of concern in stu-
dent performance,
growth and areas
of concern in adult perfor-
mance, grade-
levels, subject areas
that may be worthy
of replication, and
expectations for
improvement/
changes.
Steps 3 & 4: Review
Step 1: Collect and
chart adult imple-
mentation and stu-
dent performance
data as stated in
the plan as moni-toring data.
Step 2—DLT &
BLT: Analyze adult
implementation and
student perfor-
mance relative to
the data. Deter-
mine overall adult
performance
strengths and areas
of concern by
grade levels, sub-
ject areas, etc. De-
termine patterns,
trends, and urgent needs. Identify
points of possible
replication
(e.g., high perform-
ing TBTs, effective
instructional strate-
gies).
Step 2—BLT ON-
LY: Examine feed-
and/or refine the
building action
steps relative to
the building data,
TBT needs, and
DLT feedback.
Step 5: Define
adult implementa-
tion and student
performance data
for review at next
meeting. (Step 5
becomes Step 1.)
Conduct meeting evaluation.

should be made to
the plan to ensure
improved student
achievement? 6.
Based on lessons
