Moreno Valley USDCurriculum Development Academy
August 1-4, 2011
We will begin promptly at 8:30.Please help yourself to coffee and snacks!
• At the end of the Academy, you will have developed at least one standards-aligned SMART Notebook lesson which includes direct instruction, cognitively demanding interactive activities, and meaningful responder-based quizzes and polls, all specifically tailored to the identified needs of your incoming students.
Outcome
• Work collaboratively to create lessons and Notebooks in a supportive environment
• Plan and prioritize instruction based on student achievement data
Objectives
• Build and practice questioning strategies to engage students using the responders
• Expand and reinforce skills learned in the 101, 102 and advanced classes to better implement your Digital Math program

Principles of Decision Making for Results

Becoming Data-Driven
• How are you currently embracing a data-driven decision-making process that leads to results?

Results-Driven Schools
“The value of the data emerges only when analysis provides insights that direct decisions for students.”
White, Beyond the numbers
Take notes on p. 8 as you read and/or as team shares out research
Reflection
• Cause data: professional practices that create specific effects or results
Definitions and Examples
• Effect data: outcomes or results

A Look at Collaboration
•What elements did you observe that made the collaboration effective?
•How would you describe the attitudes of the participants?

The Process for Results
Inquiry: Develop questions
•What are the achievement levels of our incoming students?
•What are the achievement gaps?•What targeted strategies can we apply to meet these gaps?
•What tools will we use to monitor whether we are effective?
Big Questions
•What do you want to know? Effective strategies Effective tools Student learning needs Student learning strengths

DMR p. 21
•Why? – To gather and organize data in order to gain insights about leadership, teaching, and learning practices
•Considerations: Measures of data Disaggregation Triangulation Reflection
Step 1: Conduct a Treasure Hunt
•Disaggregation is not a problem-solving strategy. It is a problem-finding strategy.
Victoria Bernhardt, Data Analysis, 1998
Disaggregation
• Using district reports, chart the data in a way that makes sense for your grade level
• Think about: In which strands are our students having the
most success? What are some common needs students coming
into my class are likely to have?
If desired, chart data on templates: pages 27-31
Treasure Hunt Activity
•Highlight standards in which students scored lowest
•Cross reference with how heavily weighted those standards are in CST
For Example:
A. I was able to capture the data I need in the templates provided
B. I filled in the templates, but I’m not sure the data tells me anything useful
C. I got some data, but was not able to organize it in the templates
D. I cannot figure out the data or how to organize it
Checking In

Learning Press.
It is not so much a lack of data, but an absence of analysis, and an even greater absence of actions driven by the data.

Analyze Data to Prioritize Needs
Grade Level Instruction
Grade K 95.3% Grade 5 40.1%
Grade 1 87.2% Grade 6 38.0%
Grade 2 62.1% Grade 7 32.9%
Grade 3 71.8% Grade 8 27.6%
Grade 4 46.5% Grade 9 11.8%
Grade Level Instruction
•Students perform no higher than the assignments given
•State tests assess grade-level content•Students cannot learn what they are not taught•Students learn more when taught at a higher level than at a lower level

White, S. (2005). Beyond the numbers. Englewood, CO: Advanced Learning Press.
•Which strands and concepts are most important to target in order to ensure students will be successful with grade level content?
Table Conversation
1. Review data from Step 1 (DMR p. 27-32, EADMS reports)
2. Consider pacing schedule, CST weights, and professional judgment
3. Prioritize urgent needs
4. Record your work on templates pages 38-43
