• Welcome • Goals• Foundation for our work:
Theory of Action, Identification of schools, Expectations, Supports/Services, Indistar®, Timeline
• Action Planning & Next Steps• Questions
Agenda
Bill Wagner / The Daily NewsMonticello Middle School “Success Night”
Participants will have clear answers to the following questions:
How was our school identified as a Priority or Focus school? What are the requirements for Priority and Focus schools? What supports and services will be provided? What are the highest leverage actions we can take to increase
capacity and improve outcomes? What are the expectations for using Indistar®, and what support
will be provided? How do we incorporate our Instructional Framework into this
work? What are the next steps for our school leadership team?
Goals
Foundation for Our Work
• Theory of Action for the Office of Student and School Success
• Multi-tiered Framework of Supports and Services
• Research-based Practices (Student and School Success Principles)

Methodology to Identify Schools
• Priority Schools• Focus Schools
7
Consideration Set
• Title and Non-Title Schools• Data in each of 3 years (2012, 2013, & 2014)• At least 20 continuously enrolled (CE) students
(N >=20) each year• ES and MS/JHS: Reading and Math• HS: Reading and Math AND/OR Graduation
Rates
8
Priority Schools (N=121*)Lowest 5% Based on “All Students” Performance(Title and Non-Title; uses 3-year averages for “All
Students”)
State and/or Federal
Number
1. Floor (“LT40”): Reading/Math (combined) < 40% State 48
2. Floor (“GR60”): Adjusted 5-year Cohort Grad Rate < 60%; schools generate an Achievement Index
State/Federal 9
3. Lowest performing schools based on Achievement Index (“Bot5”); SBE requires #1 + #2 + #3 = 90
State 25
4. Current Priority schools continuing to 2015–16 Federal 345. Lowest 5% of stack-ranked list of persistently lowest achieving schools in Reading and Math (“PLA”)
Federal 5
*27 New & 94 Continuing
Focus Schools (N=133*)Lowest 10% Based on Subgroup Performance(Title & Non-Title; uses 3-year averages for
subgroups)
State and/or Federal
Number
11. Floor (“GR60”): Adjusted 5-year Cohort Grad Rates for All Students < 60%; applies only to Title I schools that do not generate an Achievement Index.
Federal 15
12: Title Schools (“MinTitle”) - Lowest 10% in Reading/Math (combined): Threshold for subgroup performance - Less than 13.82% proficient in Reading/Math (combined)
13. Non-Title Schools (“MinNonTitle”): Threshold for subgroup performance - Less than 13.82% proficient in Reading/Math (combined)
State/Federal 118
*28 New & 105 Continuing
• All: Implemented Turnaround Principles for 3 years (only SIG I and SIG II meet this criterion)
• ES/MS/JHS: 3-year average R/M (combined) >= 40%• HS: 3-year average R/M (combined) >= 40% AND
3-year average for Grad Rates >= 60%• All: Not in lowest 5% based on Achievement Index• All: Not in lowest 5% of stack-ranked list of PLA schools
Exit Criteria for 2015-16 – Priority*
*12 exited, 6 moved to Focus, & 7 remain
• All: Implemented Turnaround Principles (all Focus schools meet this criterion)
• ES/MS/JHS: 3-year average R/M (combined) for all subgroups >= 13.82% (exceeds threshold)
• HS: 3-year average R/M (combined) for all subgroups >= 13.82% AND 3-year average for Grad Rates >= 60%
• All: Not identified as Priority school for 2015-16
Exit Criteria for 2015-16 – Focus*

Student and School Success Principles (“Turnaround Principles”)
Action-Planning Process for Continuous Improvement
17
Form Leadership
Team
• Web-based action-planning system• Used by school and district improvement teams to inform,
coach, sustain, track, and report improvement activities• Focuses on evidence-based practices (“Indicators”) aligned
with Student and School Success Principles• Includes “filing cabinet” for teams to upload evidence of
progress • Supported by our office (Paul Wieneke at
[email protected])• See http://
k12.wa.us/StudentAndSchoolSuccess/ActionPlanningMaterials.aspx for “Indistar Resources and Materials”
Action-Planning Tool:Indistar®
• “Indicators” are evidence-based practices at the district, school, and classroom level used to improve student learning.– Indicators relate to a Student and School Success Principle
(“Turnaround” Principle)– Research (known as “Wise Ways” in Indistar ®) is provided for every
Indicator.• “Expected Indicators” are high-impact Indicators that schools and
districts address in their action plans.– Schools must have one “active” Expected Indicator per Student and
School Success Principle from the bank of 17 School-level Expected Indicators.
– District Plans must address all 14 District-level Expected Indicators.
Evidence-Based Practices (“Indicators”)
Principle 5
Use data to inform instruction and for continuous improvement, including by providing time for collaboration on the use of data
Student and School Success Principles & Expected Indicators - Example
P5-IID08: Instructional teams use student learning data to assess strengths and weaknesses of the curriculum and instructional strategies. (Instructional Framework, Multi-Tiered System of Supports, Smarter Balanced Assessments)P5-IID12: All teachers monitor and assess student mastery of standards-based objectives in order to make appropriate curriculum adjustments. (Instructional Framework, Multi-Tiered System of Supports)
Expected Indicators Aligned to Principle 5
