What are his beliefs? What does he do?

Today’s Outcomes: Explain the connection between DDI

and the Common Core Standards

Explain how examination of student work can result in data that informs instruction

Identify specific action steps for implementing DDI in your building/ district

How do the deliverables relate to each other?

The Common Core for Literacy impacts ALL

disciplines!

• Balancing Informational and Literary Text

• Building Knowledge in the Disciplines

• Staircase of Complexity

• Text-Based Answers

• Writing From Sources

• Academic Vocabulary

Review of the 6 Literacy Shifts

Draw a picture or symbol for each

Shift 1: Balancing Information and Literary Text

Grades PK-5:

50% Literary Text

50% Informational Text

Grades 6-12:

70% Informational Text by 12th Grade

Shift 2: Building Knowledge in the Disciplines

Shift 3: Staircase of Complexity

Balance of Just Right Text and Grade Level Text (with high levels of support for access to higher level text)

Shift 4: Text-Based Answers

Text Based Answers Students have rich and rigorous

conversations which are dependent on a common text.

Teachers insist that classroom experiences stay deeply connected to the text on the page and that students develop habits for making evidentiary arguments both in conversation, as well as in writing to assess comprehension of a text.

Shift 5: Writing from Sources

To Persuade To Explain To Convey ExperienceGrade 4 30% 35% 35%Grade 8 35% 35% 30%Grade 12 40% 40% 20%

Shift 6: Academic Vocabulary

Tier 1 Words:Common, every day words

Tier 3 Words:Content area specific words

Tier 2 Words:Typically not defined in the text

Define, describe, principled, theory, etc.

What are the 6 shifts?

What evidence of the 6 shifts do you see in student work?

What are next steps for possible instructional action plans as a result of what you noticed?

How will you facilitate the development & implementation of these action plans?

Analyzing Student Work

19

Identify patterns of strengths & weaknesses

Identify standards that students are meeting & standards (or elements of standards) for which students need more targeted instruction & support

Identify whole group needs, small group needs, and individual needs

Analysis

20

Notice patterns that are emerging from the data

Identify logical starting point(s)

Looking for Patterns

21

Choose a focus area Brainstorm strategies Choose 1-3 strategies to start with Agree on an action plan

√Who will do what?√When will it be done?√What will you have students do? √What student work will you collect to assess

next? Implement plan… and the cycle continues….

Collaborative Team Meeting

Data-Driven DialogueDATA DRIVEN DIALOGUE

By BRUCE WELLMAN & LAURA LIPTON

Organizing/IntegratingExploring/ Discoveri

ng

ACTIVATING & ENGAGING

Surfacing experiences, possibilities and expectations

With what assumptions are we entering?What are some predictions we are making?What are some questions we are asking?What are some possibilities for learning that this experience presents to us?

Data-Driven Dialogue

EXPLORING & DISCOVERING

Analyzing the Data

What important points seem to “pop out”?What are some patterns, categories or trends that are emerging?What seems to be surprising or unexpected?What are some things we have not yet explored?

Data-Driven Dialogue

ORGANIZING & INTEGRATING

Generating Theory

What inferences, explanations, or conclusions might we draw?What additional data sources might we explore to verify our explanation?What are some solutions we might explore as a result of our conversation?What data will we need to collect to guide implementation?

Data-Driven Dialogue

What makes a team “high performing”?

When we serve as a TEAM, There are:

Benefits for the membersBenefits for the team

Benefits for the school district

Benefits for the CHILDREN

Working Groups Teams Strong, clearly

focused leader Individual

accountability Individual work

products Runs efficient

meetings Measures its

effectiveness indirectly by its influence on others (student learning goals)

Discusses, decides, delegates

Shared Leadership roles

Individual and mutual accountability

Collective work products

Encourages open-ended discussion and active problem solving meetings

Measures performance directly by assessing collective work products

Discusses, decides, does real work together

Collaborative work time can be…

Powerful Inquiry based Positive Impact teaching and learning…..

Looks like Sounds likeMeet every Tuesday and Thursday to review the next assessment or to review the results of the last assessment, etc. (DDI cycle)

Design action plans together

Use an agreed upon protocol for looking a student work

Record keeping that includes student achievement, instructional strategies developed, etc.

What does a team working on DDI look and sound like?

35

“I am trying to figure out what I can do in my next unit to help John and Joe understand why it is important to cross multiply first before…”

“67% of my students have mastered identifying the main idea. By the end of this next unit, I am hoping to be at 100%.”

“I am wondering about…could you give me some thoughts or suggestions?”

Where are you now? What could be next steps? What support is needed?

Observations of elements of DDI already in place in district (data teams, team meetings, analysis of student work, etc.)

Staff overview/awareness session of components of Data-Driven Instruction

Meet with leadership teams Team training for existing teams –

review norms/protocols/process for analyzing student work

Available DDI Support

What do we have in place?

Where are our strengths?

What can we start with?

What needs to be scheduled?

What PD will be needed?

Who can provide this?
