“Those observable qualities in leadership, teaching, curriculum, parental engagement and other indicators that assist in understanding how results are achieved.”
Douglas B. Reeves-The Learning Leader
The goal of NWRESD is to support districts as they create their CIP/SIP plans using the data driven-decision making for results process.
1. System of Accountability2. Data Driven Decision Making3. Data Teams4. Making Standards Work5. Instructional Strategies
It not only aligns with CIP, it truly is continuous improvement in student achievement.

All standards are not equal in importance.
Narrow the voluminous standards and indicators by distinguishing the “essentials” from the “nice to know.”
What do students need to know for life, learning (school) and the test?
“Given the limited amount of time you have with your students, curriculum design has become more and more an issue of deciding what you won’t teach as well as what you will teach. You cannot do it all. As a designer, you must choose the essential.”
Heidi Hayes Jacobs, 1997
What are the essentials, not just the “nice-to-know”
1. Life-Endurance2. Learning-Readiness for school3. Test-Leverage
What are students being asked to know and do?
Writing performance tasks/assessments Common assessments Used as formative assessment
Connection to Data Teams
“Until you have data as a backup, you’re just another
person with an opinion.”
Dr. Perry Gluckman
1. Find the data — “Treasure Hunt”2. Analyze the data3. Prioritize needs analysis4. Set, review, or revise annual SMART
goals5. Identify specific strategies to meet
goals6. Determine results indicators Action Plan Steps and Schedule

Four essential questions:1. What do all students need to know and
be able to do?2. How do we teach so that all students will
learn?3. How will we know if they have learned it?4. What will we do if they don’t know or if
they come to us already knowing?
Focus on more than test scores and include factors that are within the control of teachers
Provide focus and eliminate the clutter Remove excuses Be able to answer “Which students are
not meeting standards in _______?” Establish a plan to do something about
it – and do something about it

Common FormativeAssessment
The key to choosing effective Instructional Strategies
“Not standardized tests, but rather teacher-created, teacher-owned assessments that are collaboratively scored and that provide immediate feedback to students and teachers.”
Douglas B. Reeves Center for Leading and Learning
They want to know if, and to what degree students are making progress toward explicit learning goals.
The true purpose of assessment must be, first and foremost, to inform instructional decision making.
Ainsworth & Viegut, Common Formative Assessments: How to Connect Standards-based Instruction and Assessment, Corwin Press, 2006, p.21
A number of short assessments given over time will provide a better indication of a student’s learning than one or two large assessments given in the middle or at the end of a grading period.

Teachers have a powerful effect on students
Certain strategies tend to produce higher student achievement than others
To better meet the needs of all students

How will you know if a particular strategy is effective with your students?
Results indicators (by Data Team) determine:If strategy is being implementedIf strategy is having intended
effect on student learning and improved performance
The “Big Ideas” applied to math Build computational skills Develop mathematical reasoning and
problem-solving abilities Deepen conceptual understanding Demonstrate understanding in a variety
of assessment formats The seminar provides math educators in
elementary and middle schools with a practical framework for implementing each of the NCTM recommendations

subject areas “I don’t have time for more writing”

Are Not Enough!”
What do you still need to know? Which parts of the summary work mirror
what you are already doing in your district/school?
How might you work together to accomplish this work?
How do you build capacity?
