• Plan: communicating the goal, focusing in on the problem, finding root causes and effective solutions and planning their careful implementation.
• Do: implementing the creative solutions. • Check/Study: examining the results and
comparing them with the expected outcomes; asking the question ‘why’ in and using information to explain the current outcomes.
• Act: acting on the outcomes from the ‘check/study’ phase, to meet/exceed the desired goal (Shewhart (1939))
![Page 7: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Planning- a problem solving approach
• Continues the problem-solving process by asking a series of questions that are geared toward understanding:• WHY the learning needs exists, • HOW the learning needs might
be addressed and • WHAT will constitute evidence
that the selected strategies worked.
![Page 8: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Planning- a unified process
• Involves all district program staff and parents in preparing the consolidated application
• Links the consolidated application to school plans
• Links the consolidated application to district strategic plans
• Leads to district consensus on what effective improvement planning is and infrastructures in place to support it
![Page 9: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Planning- a problem solving approach
• Builds an improvement culture that: • Believes all students can achieve high
standards • Treats current practices and policies as
hypotheses to be tested. • Makes improvement an on-going process,
rather than an event, task,
or document.

Planning- a problem solving approach
• Identifies learning needs of individual students
• Digs deeper, asking why, and clarifying underlying explanations of current student performance
• Understands the learning context- the interaction of students, teachers and instructional material
• Measures the effectiveness of improvement strategies

School Improvement Plan Objectives – before disaggregation
• By the end of the 2006-2007 school year, at least 78% of all students will meet or exceed state standards by attaining proficiency or higher in Reading/Language Arts as measured by the Delaware Student Testing Program (DSTP).
![Page 15: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

School Improvement Plan Objectives – after disaggregation
Improve the percent of students meeting the standard on the Reading portion of the DSTP as follows:
• Grade 10 African American from 50% to 60%
• Grade 10 Special Education from 22% to 32%
• Grade 10 Low Income from 55 to 65%• Maintain targets for all students at 78%
or higher
![Page 17: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Data: a quick look
• Educators in a high school saw African-American students' performance drop slightly below 50% on their state mathematics test, putting the school on the state's school improvement list.
• The decision makers immediately suggested that all African-American students, whether or not they failed the test, be assigned peer tutors.
![Page 18: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Data: a quick look
• The decision makers ignored past trends, which indicated:• That the African-American students' scores
were on an upward trajectory.• That the decline in math was so small that
it could better be explained by other items than by their instructional program.
• Hispanic and white students who also failed the test, have shown a steady decline in math performance below for the past three years.
![Page 19: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Data: a quick look
• They made decisions based on:• one type of data and • one way of looking at that data
What data could they use to help explain pupil performance?
What questions could they ask related to the outcomes?
![Page 20: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Data – a closer look
• Starts with school staff looking at their intended goals and objectives and outcomes to:• ID individual student learning needs (ex:
identifying by name students who are at PL1 or PL2 and those whose scale scores indicate they are at the PL3 cutoff),
• Analyze the instructional needs comments to derive any trends in high-priority learning needs and tracing the needs first back to standards and then to grade-level expectations.
![Page 21: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Outcomes
Data that indicate what students know and can perform.
Data that show the makeup of the student population and trends in the composition.
Data that indirectly impact academics (attendance, nutrition, suspension, class sizes, etc.)
Data that show the level of client understanding and satisfaction.
Data that provide insight into the quality of programs.
![Page 22: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Data: a closer look
The decision makers might ask:• Where are we in relation to our goals?• At which proficiency levels are (all of) our
students performing?• How did the students perform on specific
content standards?• Who are the students that are having
difficulty with specific content standards? Why?
• Are there similar students having success with the same content standards? Why?
![Page 23: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Data: a closer look
The decision makers might also ask:• What other data can be used to verify the
explanations and define the problem more deeply?
• What conditions affect the student? What non-academic data is available?
• What are the trends/patterns in the data?• Who/what strategy has been most
successful with the specified population?• How will the high school ultimately know the
impact of the strategies (what worked and why)?

Questions to ponder
Based on what you have studied:• Where are you in relation to your goals? • How do you analyze your state, district and local
data?• How did you use student non-academic data?• How might you enhance the use and analysis of all
data? • What do you see as trends or patterns in your data?
What questions does it raise? • How do you use the data to set school improvement
goals? • How do you engage staff in the data analysis
process?
![Page 33: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Questions to ponder – With LEA Teams
• Based on what you have studied:• What is the sum of the information? • Why are our children performing the way
they are?• What is preventing these children from
obtaining academic success?• What have we done? - What strategies did
we use with the students and how did they impact their needs? Our goals? The standards?
![Page 34: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Data Discussions – with local teams
• Keep the focus on improvement, not on blame. • Help staff feel safe in sharing and using
their classroom data• Keep the focus on improvement• Model collaborative Problem Solving
• Provide time for dialogue
![Page 35: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Data Discussions – with local teams
• Keep the focus on what the data show in relation to the problem, not what staff think should be done to improve the results. • First analyze the data and clarify the
problem with supportive data. • Keep solutions on hold until current
outcomes have been explained and verified.
![Page 36: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Data Discussions – with local teams
• Guard against early conclusions of why the data look like they do. • Discussion focus: What questions does the
data raise? • What additional information do you need to
address the questions?
![Page 37: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Components for a Unified School Improvement Process
• Data analysis support: data driven improvement is not possible without it
• A school plan format that draws out linkages between underlying, explanatory needs; improvement strategies; and formative and summative measurement of results
![Page 38: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Components for a Unified School Improvement Process
• Training and technical assistance for building administrators to carry out planning
• A top-down and bottom-up way to relate individual school needs to districtwide needs in the consolidated RAMPS application.
![Page 39: Welcome to the School Improvement Quarterly/ Special Education Leadership Meeting/ RAMPS Meeting Improved Data Analysis and Priority Setting- Beyond Descriptive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55155fb555034674578b4965/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Food for thought
• How have we:• Assisted/confirmed your capacity to
conduct team data-driven decision-making?
• What do we need to do:• to better enhance your capacity to conduct
team data-driven decision-making?• to support your local efforts with the use of
data
