Teacher Inservice Revisited
• Questions?
• Needs?
• Sharing?
• A few key points…
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Teacher Discussions
• Make Sure data discussions are “safe:” Data is to be used for feedback and
Information Data is to be used for school Improvement Data should not be used for staff
evaluation
• Initially, focus on key components
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Multiple Measures of Data
Various intersections of data can paint a vivid picture. . .
• Demographics
• Perceptions
• Student learning
• School processes
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Perceptions Data
• Perceptions are important – perceptions can turn into reality;
• Perceptions data is the most underused;• Research shows that perceptions data,
especially when merged with performance data, can be a huge indicator of student performance, etc.
• PRIDE Surveys
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Processes Data
• Helps us understand how we got our results;
• Helps find out what we need to do differently to get different results;
• Improvement is not achieved by focusing on results but by focusing on improving the processes that created the results. --National Leadership Network

Teacher Inservice/Meetings
• Some Ground Rules Focus on the positive All teachers have input, but no one
“gripes” – don’t let conversations derail and be up front about this
Students ARE different, Teaching is different, but that’s not a bad thing – MEDICINE is different, thank goodness!

Formative Assessment
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Think Pair Share
Article Review - “Concept of Formative Assessment”
Focus Questions?1. What is the role of formative assessment in the
classroom? 2. What does the research say about formative
assessments?3. What types of formative assessments are you going
to use in the classroom?4. What other important concepts did you get from the
article?
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Summative vs. Formative Assessment
Summative• End Point
• Numerical
• Stakes are High• Reliability High
Formative• Words
• Emphasis is on Feedback
• Useful for Generic Skills
• Student Learning
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Collecting and Using Formative Data
• Where are students now?• Where do we want them to be?• What will be the benchmarks to indicate
progress toward bigger goals?
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Formative Assessment …
• Depicts student’s life as a learner• Is used to make instructional adjustments• Alerts the teacher about student misconceptions• Is an “early warning signal”• Allows students to build on previous experiences• Provides regular feedback• Provides evidence of progress• Aligns with instructional/curricular outcomes

An Example
• Today we learned about _________ List three things you learned. Write one question you have.
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Let’s Practice
• Sort the cards.
• Discuss why you sorted them the way you did.
• What would you do the next day?
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
A Visit to a Data-Driven School
• From ASCD
• New viewpoints, as an example, based on your requests from last time…
• Segment Two – Data Across the School – Collecting Data on the Teachers and the Lessons

Lunch Break
• When we return – A little more about Root Causes
• The School Improvement Mechanic Model Why is my car making that noise? What is that noise? What does it sound like? Where is it coming from? When did you start hearing it? Does the noise happen all the time?
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
D3 Leadership
• Never accept a test score assumption or teacher response to performance issue without asking 5 levels of Why? Example: We just looked at Stanford 10 and
found that once again boys aren’t performing as well as girls. Boys also have a lot more tardies than girls. We believe that tardiness affects math scores for boys in 10th grade
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Why
• Data Team asks the STUDENTS: Why do we have so many class tardies? Students: There isn’t enough time
between classes. Why don’t you have enough time between
classes? There’s only five minutes and we have to
get from one end of the building to another, plus restroom, plus crowded hall.
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Why
• Data Team asks the ADMINS: Why only five minutes between classes? Admins: To reduce time students were in
the halls Why did we need to reduce hall time? We reduced hall time because we had so
many schoolwide discipline issues.
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Why
• Data Team asks the ADMINS: Why did we decide that reducing hall time
would take care of the discipline issues? Teachers complained about the noise, we
noticed fights.
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
What else?
• Should we stop there? What else wasn’t asked?
• Think – Pair – Share What else would you want to know? How does what was asked relate to the
original problem? What is the real problem here? Are we done?

Getting to the Root Cause
• The School Improvement Mechanic Model Why is my car making that noise? What is that noise? What does it sound like? Where is it coming from? When did you start hearing it? Does the noise happen all the time?
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Root Cause Defined
• …the most basic cause that can reasonably be identified, that we have control to fix, and for which effective recommendations for prevention can be implemented.”
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Beginning Root Cause Exploration
• Think about issues from the recent data you’ve received;
• Generate questions about this data and why it might be;
• Put these questions in front of faculty – ask them to give their initial reactions, generate new questions, etc.
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Root Cause – General Questions
• A way to start the discussion – Think / Pair / Share
• 10 minutes: Read sample questions on left, generate questions on the right, being as specific as possible.
• 10 minutes: Share with your neighbor
• Share with the whole group

• Data-analyzed by teachers and ready
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Back-to-School To-Dos
• Prepare charts and graphs• Model data transparency• Promote data safety• Schedule a data meeting for teachers• Prepare test results packets for teachers• Train teachers to read test results printouts• Plan and schedule formative assessment trainings• Schedule data 30-minute meetings
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Putting it All Together
• Alignment for Results:• A results-oriented school system asks,
at every level of the organization, two questions: What evidence do we have that what
we’re doing is working? How will we respond when we find
out that what we’re doing is not working?
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
One Last Look
• One more view of a data-driven school district
• ASCD Video - Segment 3 – Data and the community as a whole
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Involving the Community
• Parent and community meetings should be held as soon as possible to communicate results – be proactive before media puts their spin on it;
• Parent and community meetings should be held regularly – not just at school, but at centers, churches, as a part of sporting events, etc.
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Being Prepared
• Show the good things that have happened.
• Talk about the challenges the school faces – not that YOU or your teachers face – but WE – parents, teachers, admins, etc.
• Have a “prep meeting” with a small test group to get a feel for issues/concerns.
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
You May Be Asked…
• Why does this school have this problem and not ____ school?
• Does ___ county have this same problem? Why not?
• Is MY kid directly affected? How?
• Why did this issue happen?
• What are you doing to stop it?
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION working together to improve education with technology
Share the News
• Use Confluent / Excel to create some basic graphs that are clear, easy to understand, and focus on a few key points.
• Be specific in what you want parents to do about the challenges you shared.
• Ask parents, “what’s missing from this school that would complete the picture for you?”

Final Thought
• We may not have answered all your questions. In fact, we may have raised a whole new set of questions. But, at the very least, we feel that we are confused at a higher level and about much more important things.
