PLC School District since 2008◦ 7th school year

Who we are…
Take it to 25◦ School Vision
Who we are…
What are the challenges of RtI at the secondary level? ◦ Use of a Wordle
The challenges we have identified…◦ Reading / Math skill development versus career exploration◦ Low skill levels in several areas◦ Need for a strong system◦ Need to intervene for skill deficiency AND credit/grade
deficiency
“High School staffs are independent contractors that share a common parking lot.”
Challenges at the secondary level
Today’s discussion will focus on three parts
◦ Use of an Early Warning System
◦ Use of a TAPS team to drive PLC work
◦ Intervention development and evaluation

Everything in a system
Early Warning System
TAPS Group Intervention development and evaluation
First Implemented◦ Professional Learning Communities ◦ Pyramid of Interventions
Came back to a focus on Universal Instruction Led to changes in…
◦ Professional Calendar◦ Student Schedules◦ Types of PD and Collaboration ◦ School Culture
And…◦ A Focus on Freshmen
Where it started…
2012 Data Retreat◦ Use of a Venn Diagram to look at students from
low socio-economic, below grade-level in MAP assessment, and failed one or more classes Humbled by realization
Early Warning System
Need to dispute what we all “know” ◦ “adaptive change”
Need to evaluate interventions
Manage data from multiple areas of student achievement and demographics
Early Warning System
Exploration of other systems
◦ Found out what features we wanted in an EWS
◦ Most were focused on graduation versus our vision
◦ Hard to manipulate or limited amount of data sets
◦ Wanted to own it
Early Warning System
Started by using Microsoft Excel◦ Quick upload of data ◦ Store a lot of data◦ Easy to use in terms of conditional formatting, hiding
cells, etc.
◦ Limitations Difficulty to pull out specific information about specific
students
Coupled with Microsoft Access◦ ONLY view specific students and specific data◦ Refutes what we “all know” at times
Early Warning System
Demonstration of EWS use
Sample Questions◦ Did Reading 9 students have greater growth as
measured by MAP compared to similar students not enrolled in Reading?
◦ E-math question◦ Audience Question
Early Warning System
Consists of three counselors, principal, associate principal, school nurse, at-risk teacher, English Language teacher, school psychologist and School Resource Officer
Meets weekly
TAPS
Progression over a 7 year period◦ From Admiring problems…..
◦ To a focus on identifying interventions for individual students with an expectation of action…
Randomness of selecting students Dependent on adults to id versus a system Felt like gossip too often
◦ To a focus on celebrating and identifying interventions for groups of students…
System comes first, then the adults EXAMPLE - Attendance

Understanding how the EWS works with TAPS◦ Example: English 10 discussion◦ Action Steps
