Data Teams are a model for continuous, collaborative action that inspires and empowers professionals to improve teaching, learning, and leadership for all.

Data Teams have a

common focus or common standard, a

common formative

assessment, and a common scoring guide.

Data Teams are small, grade-level, department, course-alike, or organizational teams that examine work generated from a

common formative assessment.

Data Teams meetings are collaborative,

structured, scheduled

meetings that focus on the

effectiveness of teaching and

learning.

One Minute Assessment #1• Reflect on the three definitions of data

teams. Which component of data teams do you think will stretch you the most as a leader? Which do you think will stretch your teachers?

Data Team Actions

“Data Teams adhere to continuous improvement cycles, examine patterns and trends, and establish specific timelines, roles, and responsibilities to facilitate analysis that results in action.”

S. White, 2005

We are a Professional Learning Community.We do Data Teams.

Four Critical Questions that Guide a PLC

1. What are students supposed to know and be able to do? 2. How do we know when our students have learned?

3. How de we respond when students haven't learned? 4. How do we respond when students

already know the content?

One Minute Assessment #2• Construct a metaphor or an analogy

that connects standards, assessments, results, and instruction.

Developing aData Mind-Set

Data Teams focus only on Priority Standards.

Unwrapping Standards• Understand and apply knowledge of

the complementary nature of structure and function and the commonalities among organisms.

• Utilize interactive literacy and social skills to establish personal, family, and community health goals.

Assessment OF learning

Remember…

It isn’t the method that determines whether the assessment is summative or formative,

it is how the results are used.

Pick the right tool for the right job…

“Schools with the greatest

improvements in student

achievement consistently

used common assessments.”

D. Reeves,

Why match a priority learning target with an assessment method?

Assessment Types

Remember…• Purposeful assessments not only

measure the impact but also the innovation that cause change in student learning.

• Effective assessment procedures and use of the associated data are fundamental to a school’s continuing achievement and improvement.

Two Types of Data

• Effect Data: Student achievement results from various measurements

• Cause Data: Information based on actions of the adults in the system

What content area is our highest priority?

Which sub-group of students are most in need of improvement?

In what sub-content/skill area(s) do most students need to improve?

What skill set needs additional support or intervention?

Effect Data:% of ELL students

Effect Data: % of 8th grade students scoring proficient or advanced on the state reading assessment

Effect Data:% of ELL students who will likely be proficient in literary response

Effect Data Source:% of students who will need extensive support in literary response

Drilling Down with Effect Data32-33

District/school response:

Activity: Drilling Down with Effect Data

District/school response:

Adult action: Number of meetings held for the purpose of making student achievement decisions with relevant, timely data.

Adult action: Percentage of instructional time focused on the high-priority content area.

Adult action: Frequency of team meetings focused on differentiated learning/instructional groups for specific concepts and skills.

Adult action: Number of effective teaching strategies implemented to support specific concepts and skills.

Now, experience the Data Team process…

Step 1 - Collect and Chart data• Review the data team rubric on p. 109• Evaluate the team (based on the

rubric) with regard to how data was collected and charted

• DMPS application – role of technology in collecting and charting data

Check for Understanding

1. Process followed by a Leadership Team

2. Process requiring collaboration

3. Begins with a few driving questions about achievement in the school

4. Examines the impact of teacher actions on student learning

5. Can be an agenda item during part of a longer meeting

6. Replaces PLCs in your building

7. Requires the monitoring of broad/varied set of data points

8. Requires participants to go out and find relevant data

9. Requires participants to examine data from a specific student task

DMR DATA TEAMS BOTH NEITHER

Step 2 – Analyze/Prioritize• Review the data team rubric on p. 114• Evaluate the team (based on the

rubric) with regard to how data was analyzed and prioritized

• DMPS application – realistic challenges with analysis and assessment design

Step 3 – Set Goals• Review the data team rubric on p. 117• Evaluate the team (based on the

rubric) with regard to how goals were set

• DMPS application – goal setting and student motivation

Step 4 – Select Strategies• Review the data team rubric on p. 122• Evaluate the team (based on the

rubric) with regard to how strategies were selected

• DMPS application – resources and support structure

Step 5 – Results Indicators• Review the data team rubric on p. 127• Evaluate the team (based on the

rubric) with regard to how results indicators were established

• DMPS application – “support” and “pressure” in equal doses

Step 6 – Monitor/Eval. Results• Review the data team rubric on p. 130• Evaluate the team (based on the

rubric) with regard to how results indicators were established

• DMPS application – “support” and “pressure” in equal doses

Culminating Evaluation• Data Team functioning as a PLC• Use rubrics from pages 132-135 to

evaluate the degree to which these educators function as a team.

School Culture and Leadership

• Transparency• Inspiration • Pay attention to cause and effect data• Be data-informed yourself• Learn this by doing this
