Meeting the Shipmates
Before we sail:What should we know about the band of
pirates?
• Introductions– Name, position, school or organization – Your interactions/responsibilities with data
(Continuous Improvement Team, data team, newbee…)
NormsNorms are the standards of behavior by which we agree to operate while we are in this group.
Norms are a set of guidelines that a team establishes to shape the interactions of team members with each other.
What “BUGS” you?• What bugs you when you attend different
meetings?
• Record your thoughts on the sticky notes.
• Use one sticky note per idea.
• Be ready to share.
What makes a meeting go well?
Ships Rules
• Prepare to lift anchor – work together as the ship sails through uncharted waters
• Record your travels in the “Ship’s Log” – Listen to mates ideas– Ask questions to clarify
• Be mindful of time• Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of…. Have fun and learn! • Silence your cell phones…reception is poor at sea!
The Purpose: Improving Student Learning
The Process: Reflective
Collaboration
The Power: Importance of Data
Plan for Continuous Improvement
Nebraska Continuous
Improvement Model
•Where are we now as a school building?
•Where do we want to go?
•How will we get there?
•How will we know when we get there?
•How will we sustain the effort?
We use data to determine…

Disaggregation of Data
If we believe that all students can achieve, then any subgroup we
choose should have similar achievement and results.
Disaggregation allows us to:
• see if we are meeting the goals of our school; • identify subgroups that are not responding as well to
school process as other subgroups;• understand why a subgroup is not responding and
begin searching for a different process so that all students can learn; and
• meet requirements for school improvement.
Identify Subgroups
Identify Subgroups• FRL--free and reduced lunch• ELL--English language learners• Special education• Ethnic minorities• Migrant students• Male/female• Students in your school for less than 2 years• Time spent on a bus route• Coming from different elementary schools• Others factors which might cause students to
perform different than expected
Ground Rules for Participating in a Data Retreat
• No blaming students
• No blaming teachers
• Data is JUST information
• Use data for instructional purposes
• “De-emotionalize” data
29
I pledge to hold confidential and private any information regarding individual students shared during
this retreat.
I will respect the use of data as a tool to facilitate the improvement of
student learning.
Pledge of Confidentiality
30
What we DISCUSS in this room, stays in this room.
What we LEARN in this room, may be shared.
Pledge of Confidentiality
Phase I - Predictions
Phase I - Before You See the Data
• Hear and honor all assumptions– I assume ….– I predict ….– I wonder ….– My questions/expectations are influenced by …– Some possibilities for learning that this data may
present ….
Shipmate to Shipmate
• Equal voice• Make shared meaning of data• Replace hunches and feelings with facts• Examine patterns and trends of performance
indicators• Generate “root-cause” discussions - move
from identifying symptoms to possible causes
35
We assume…
We predict…
We wonder…

Easy Pickin’s

“Easy Pickin’s” – What data sources do we currently have access to?
********
Phase II—Observations
Phase II - Just the Facts
Because – Therefore It seems - However
• Use these sentence starters:
– I observe that ….– Some patterns/trends
that I notice ….– I can count ….– I am surprised that I see
….

Phase III - Inferences
Phase III - Inferences
• I believe that the data suggest …. Because …

50
Do your “Easy Pickin's” support your assumptions you are making?
Are there additional assumptions which surface at each measure? (SOS, DRS, etc.)
Additional data that would help guide implementation of the solutions/responses and determine if we are working…
Levels of Data Analysis
Step 10 – Intersection of 4 measures over time
Step 9 – Intersection of 4 measures
Step 8 – Intersection of 3 measures over time
Step 7 – Intersection of 3 measures
Step 6 – Intersection of 2 types of measures over time
Step 5 – Intersection of 2 types of measures
Step 4 – Two or more variables within measures over time
Step 3 – Two or more variable within same area
Step 2 – Snapshots over time
Step 1 – Snapshots

"Worth Looking for" – "Digging for hidden treasures"
*******
What did you find, and what more do you need to know about individual students?
Reflection…
• What is something you picked up on the shore?
• What do you want to dig deeper for?

Analysis of Data
“What does the data tell us about our strengths and challenges, especially as it relates to student achievement and programs/resources which support thelearning?”
65
Analysis of Data
• Observe the data patterns
• Discuss what is observed
• Write data findings under the graphs
JUST the FACTS!

Tie to School Improvement
Begin with assumptions
Discover the facts
Make inferences/ hypothesis
Create goals
Develop action plans
Goals
Effective team goals will focus on the intended outcome rather than the strategies to achieve the outcome.
SMART Goals
S = Specific M = Measurable A = Attainable
R = Results-based T = Time-bound

Create Your Treasure Map - Action Plan
Plot your action plan on the treasure map.Include:
•actions•timeline •who is responsible

FAIR SKIES AND SMOOTH SEAS!
Consider
• “When important questions drove the dialogue about school effectiveness, school staff quickly learned how to identify and use different types of data to answer those questions. (Lachat & Smith, 2004)
• Organizing data around essential questions about student performance is a powerful strategy for building data literacy.
Possible Essential Questions
• How do student outcomes differ by demographics, programs, and schools?
• To what extent have specific programs, interventions, and services improved outcomes?
• What is the longitudinal progress of a specific cohort of students?
Possible Essential Questions
• What are the characteristics of students who achieve proficiency and of those who do not?
• Where are we making the most progress in closing achievement gaps?
• How do absence and mobility affect assessment results?
• “Asking questions such as these enables administrators and teachers to focus on what is most important, identify the data they need to address their question, and use the questions as a lens for data analysis and interpretation.”
• Limit the number of questions to no more than five or six crucial questions that get at the heart of what they need to know.
What is Needed?
• Time to look at data, analyze data and ask more questions.
• Time to look at the data rather than time spent creating the graphs and charts.
• Teachers need opportunity and support to plan and implement improvement strategies and then collect data to see if the strategies work.
What is Needed?
• Opportunity to ask questions and then find data to answer the question.
• Data that is sufficiently disaggregated– By broad categories, male, female, economic
status, programs– Combinations of categories ie female and low SES
