Phase I: Data Analysis (July 10 – July 19, 2019) Phase I of the School Improvement Process will begin at the 2019 Synergy Summer Institute. The SchoolLeadership Team (SLT) will participate and collaborate in a 3-day development workshop to initiate theyearlong School Improvement Process. During the Synergy Summer Institute, the SLT will analyze acomprehensive set of quantitative and qualitative data within the areas of School Culture and AcademicPrograms from the previous school year. After an analysis of the data, the SLT will reflect on the currentpractices and processes contributing to the data results during a guided Systems Review. The SLT will reviewand consider Essential Practices utilized in M-DCPS and identify practices within School Culture and AcademicPrograms to sustain or enhance the implementation of the school’s continuous improvement process. The SLTwill develop overarching Outcome Statements for the 2019-2020 school year. During the Synergy SummerInstitute, the SLT will participate in coursework aimed to develop School Leadership Core Competencies tosupport the implementation of the school’s continuous improvement process.

Phase I will conclude with the design of an Opening of Schools Professional Development Agenda that willserve to: present the findings to the faculty to gain stakeholder involvement/feedback, build consensus anddevelop a collective understanding of how the school’s plan will address, and be aligned to, the school’s uniqueopportunities for improvement.

DAY ONE- Synergy Summer Institute

DATA AND SYSTEMS REVIEWSchool Leadership Teams will review all 2018-2019 data points provided on the subsequent pages in theindividualized School Culture Data Map and Academic Programs Data Map to analyze the results using theData Driven Dialogue Protocol. Systems Review Organizers will assist the school to further examine and alignresults to the Essential Practices.

Data and Systems Review

1. Using the Data Driven Dialogue Protocol, SLTs will analyze the School Culture and Academic ProgramsData Maps (i.e. student level data, teacher level data, and parent level data) and discuss findings.

2. Within the Data and Systems Review Organizer, classify data findings into the second column titled:

“Data Findings & Area” based on their appropriate rating (input no more than three data points for eachrating):

Significantly Improved Data Findings: Data findings that indicate substantial increases ascompared to previous years. Also, data findings that, when compared to schools with similardemographics, indicate above the norm performance. Select the three data points that have had thegreatest positive impact on the school’s overall success.Neutral Data Findings: Data findings that have remained constant, with little to noimprovement/decline from previous years. Also, data findings that, when compared to schools with

Select the data points that, ifimproved, could have the greatest impact on the school’s overall performance.Significantly Decreased Data Findings: Data findings that have declined in value from previousyears. Also, data findings that, when compared to schools with similar demographics, indicatebelow the norm performance. Select the three data points that have had the negative impact onoverall school success.

3. Within the Data and Systems Review Organizer, input a rationale for each data finding into the thirdcolumn titled “Rationale for Selection of Data” for School Culture and Academic Programs.

4. Within the Data and Systems Review Organizer, the SLTs will review each data point selected and after theSystems Review will determine which Essential Practices contributed the most or had the greatest impactfor each data finding (positive, neutral, and/or negative). The School Leadership Team will enter theEssential Practices into the fourth column titled “Connected Essential Practices”. Input no more thanthree Essential Practices for each data finding.

The Data and Systems Review process will enable the SLTs to thoroughly analyze data results and identify thefactors that have had the greatest impact on their school’s performance.
