What movie is playing at your

school?

Zeiger Elementary Presents….

• We can’t just sit back and enjoy the show.

• We need to become active members of the audience.

• The way our movie ends is dependent on our actions.

Featuring Data as the narrator… it tells the story of our school.

1st Day of School is “Action!”

Last Day of school is…. “That’s a Wrap!”•The 180 days in between are the scenes of our movie played out on a daily basis. •We need to make everyday and every interaction with students count. •We need to be intentional in everything we do – data based decision making is essential to our movie’s success.

Who is the Director?• The principal is the director, but also has an

actor role. • He or she guides and serves all the actors

and is rarely in the chair.• “Cut!” can be shouted by the director or any

of the actors when something isn’t going right. Interventions or instructional practices implemented may not be working.

• We need to “Take 2” and try again immediately.

• It’s too late after the final scene and the movie has ended.

Every good movie has three elements…

1. A great storyline – Our storyline centers around our students and the unique experiences they bring with them.

2. Quality actors – Part of the director’s job is to bring out the best in his/her actors. Helping teachers improve their instructional practices is one part of an administrator’s job.

3. A happy ending – Our goal as educators is to prepare our students for their next step. Whether it be the world beyond high school or moving onto 1st grade, we want them to be ready at the end of the school year.

Behind the Scenes…• This work is just as hard as being in front of

the camera.• It is where we prepare for the work we do

everyday in the classroom.• Meeting in PLCs and reviewing the data

from multiple measures: standardized & formative assessments, demographic data, discipline records, etc.

• Data based decisions are collectively made by all cast members (director, actors and supporting actors).

• What interventions are working? What isn’t working? What needs to happen next?

There is a script, but it is not set in stone…

• A SIP is created as a staff – a plan for how to reach the vision we have for our school.• The SIP is a living document and should be reviewed and adjusted as the needs of the school change.• Student growth goals stem from the SIP and follow the same process.• During PLCs, necessary data is reviewed and more plans are made, but the lines of each character depend

on the needs of the students being served, the resources and the instructional practices implemented.

As a cast…we need to work together! Student Growth Goals – Nested Goals

Growth Measure 8.1:Team develops student growth goal and methods of measurement. Each teacher collects classroom data to contribute to team data.

Growth Measures 6.1 & 6.2: Uses team growth goal for collecting data from entire class. Contributes data to the team.

Growth Measures 3.1 & 3.2: Uses same team growth goal and collects data

for an identified, struggling subgroup.

Who is in the Spotlight?We all are – staff and students!!

Identify ways to reach higher standards and correct significant discrepancies (Danielson)

Identify affective instructional practices Use multiple measures of data in an effort

to improve student achievement Provide students with a positive and

culturally responsive learning environment

As an administrator, I am committed to helping teachers and staff:

How our movie ends is dependent on our ability to:• Let data tell the story• Collaborate effectively• Create a culture of trust and

support• Keep our focus on students • Build relationships with parents

and the community

We want students to feel as though they are important. They are the stars

in their own movie.

• We need to be their support, emotionally and academically.

• We need to show them the benefits of perseverance.

• We want students to leave our school with the necessary skills to create their own ending.

• We want every child to feel as though they got the “golden ticket” to their future and no one can take that away from them.
