Differentiated Instruction


Group Norms

Session Objectives

• Define the Knowing – Doing Gap

• Identify ways to implement Data Driven Instruction in your school

• Observe a School In Action

• Develop a plan for implementing Data Driven Instruction on your campus


The Knowing –Doing Gap

What is it?

– I KNOW there are data out there

– I KNOW I need to use it to inform our direction

– I KNOW my staff needs it to inform their instruction

But…

Are we DOING it?


Schools In Action – Let’s Share Strategies!


Watching With A Purpose

• Individually collect ideas, note affirmations.

• What do you want to implement?

• What gives you further ideas for implementation?

• How can you adjust to meet the needs of your school?

• Collect your thoughts on the Graphic Organizer in your Workbook.


School In Action – Drilling Down

As you watch the School in Action video, consider how the school is moving from school-wide data to individual teacher data.

Think about how you use data at your site.

Debriefing the Videos

Get a Chip-Give a Chip Strategy

• There are chips at your table.

• Each person takes 2 chips.

• Chips are used to ensure that all table members share ideas; members will place 1 chip in the middle of the table before sharing 1 idea from the video.

• All table members will share 2 ideas.

• Once you have “thrown in” your 2 chips, please reserve your additional key ideas until all table members have used their 2 chips.


Room De-Brief

• How would you set up your data teams?

• What data can you or your district provide for them?

• How will you overcome the obstacles at your site?

• How will you monitor the progress?

• Add your table’s comments to Today’s Meet.

Principal Syllabus

• Add to your syllabus the data you need to support your priorities

• What is accessible to you?

• Who can assist you with the preparation and distribution of the data?


What’s Your Action Plan for the Take-Aways

From Knowing

To Doing


Put It Into ActionDevelop an Action Plan

– What actions will you take to support your priorities?

– What data do you need?

• How can you find that data/information?

• Who are the “go to” people regarding understanding that information?

– What supports/resources do you need?

– Let’s design a plan to use this information.


Methods for Follow-up

Using schoolwide and teacher data:

– Design a plan to see what is working and what needs to be revisited

– Determine areas of need for staff members

– Design and implement PD to meet those needs in whole and small group staff meetings

– Use data team(s) to revisit data on a regular basis

– Talk with staff members about their PDPs and update them regularly


What are your Take-Aways?

As a table, share via Today’s Meet 1-2 ideas that you want to try next fall.
