Download What Data Do We Need to Pay Attention To?

School Improvement
Planning: Student
Learning
Spring, 2012
Let’s get started…
Opposites Card Sort: Teamwork
• As a team, match the opposites.
One card represents best practice,
the other less effective practice.
Some teachers resist
working with you. You go
ahead and do good work.
Some teachers resist
working with you. You
decide you can’t move
ahead until everyone is
compelled to work with
you.
Your team understands
that sometimes it must
“go slow to go fast” and
proceeds accordingly.
Your team writes an
aggressive plan with
expectations of large
gains in student learning
in one year.
You help everyone in your
group understand
individual meeting
preferences and styles,
and together, analyze the
capacity of the group to
work together.
You take charge of the
group and plan meetings
based on your
preferences and style.
Your faculty collects and
analyzes data in four
categories (demographic,
perception, student
learning, and school
processes) to determine
the focus of the student
learning action plan.
Your team reviews
standardized test data
and determines the focus
of the student learning
plan.
Your team uses a
consensus process to
reach decisions,
respecting the opinion of
those who initially
dissent.
Your team experiences
conflict among the faculty
but decides to ignore it.
Your team plans for
quality meeting time in
August to allow for full
collaboration in
writing/revising the
school improvement plan
for student learning.
Your team completes the
school improvement plan
for student learning
without input from all
faculty members.
You regularly review
student progress,
celebrate results, and
make adjustments as
needed.
You review standardized
test results once a year.
You communicate your
school improvement
goals to
parents/boards/parish
community.
Your school improvement
goals are only shared
/discussed with faculty.
You explore a variety of
professional learning
options to assist teachers
in preparing for the CCSS.
Teachers are directed to
implement new
instructional strategies
and assessments that
support the CCSS.
Your team, in
collaboration with the
faculty, maps out all
professional learning for
the year to support the
student learning goal(s)
and implementation of
the CCSS.
You plan the use of your
in-service days for the
year as you go along, not
being intentional about
supporting teacher and
student learning.
Let’s get started…
• When all cards are matched,
determine which card most
accurately reflects your current
practice as a team.
Let’s get started…
• Reflection questions:
–How many of the cards we
selected reflect best practice?
–How can we move from our less
effective practices to best
practice?
Learning from Leadership Study
Effective data-use schools:
• Actively use data to monitor the
outcomes of School Improvement Plans
• Use formative assessments at regular
intervals throughout the year
• Use data in making decisions about
professional development planning
• Use data in conversations with parents about
students performance and programming
• Use data to move from problem
identification to problem solving

• What additional data sources could you
use to inform our planning?

Common Core State Standards
Implications for
Instruction and Assessment
•
The Common Core Standards emphasize student outcomes
at higher levels of cognitive performance/critical thinking.
•
Instruction must expect higher levels of critical
understanding.
English Language Arts/Literacy
• Building knowledge through content-rich
nonfiction and informational texts
• Reading and writing grounded in evidence
from text
• Regular practice with complex text and its
academic vocabulary

Mathematics
• Less content but at a much deeper level of
understanding and application
• Coherent progression from grade to grade.
• Focus on conceptual understanding,
procedural skill and fluency, and application
with equal intensity.
Standards for Mathematical Practice
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of
others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

We have concerns about the CCSS and
don’t feel our teachers are ready to
implement them.
The CCSS are coming, whether we’re
ready or not.

Planning Professional Learning
Reflection: 2011-12
Did our in-service time support our student
learning plan?
Did we make the best use of our professional
development resources?
Did we manage our time to provide frequent
and job-embedded professional learning?

Development Timeline
2012-13 Professional Learning Plan
• Using the 2012-13 Professional Learning Plan
worksheet, begin drafting your plan.
– List the dates of your 10 calendared PD days
– What days are already planned? (For example,
Sustaining the Mission dates)
– Add any dates from the Office for Schools PD
timelines that apply
Next Steps
School Improvement Planning Document
• Revised to allow for an Annual Review
• Document that will be used for all School
Improvement Goals related to accreditation
Next Steps
• Plan a day in August to collaboratively
write/revise your student learning action
plan. The day should be facilitated by the
team.
• Submit the plan electronically to Sue Nelson
by September 30, 2012
Feedback appreciated..
• Please complete the evaluation - one per
school – and leave it on the table as you
leave.
Thank you!
