Agenda • Precision Statements • District Discipline Data System (DDDS) • Web Back Pack • Roles and Responsibilities
Main Ideas • Build “decision systems” not “data systems” • Use data in “decision layers” • Is there a problem? (overall rate of ODR) • Localize the problem • (location, problem behavior, students, time of day) • Get specific • Don’t drown in the data • It’s “OK” to be doing well • Be efficient
Main Ideas • Data help us ask the right questions…they do not provide the answers: Use data to • Identify problems • Refine problems • Define the questions that lead to solutions • Data help place the “problem” in the context rather than in the students

Concerns Too many referrals September has more suspensions than last year Gang behavior is increasing The cafeteria is out of control Student disrespect is out of control Precision Statement There are more ODRs for aggressionon the playground than last year. These are most likely to occur during first recess, with a large number of students, and the aggression is related to getting access to the new playground equipment. Developing Precision Statements
Precision Statement? • Children are using inappropriate language with a high frequency in the presence of both adults and other children. This is creating a sense of disrespect and incivility in the school. • ODRs during December are higher than in any other month. No No
Precision Statement? • James D. is hitting others in the cafeteria during lunch, and his hitting is maintained by peer attention. • Boys are engaging in sexual harassment. • Three 5th grade boys are name calling and touching girls inappropriately during recess in an apparent attempt to obtain attention. Yes No Yes
Precision Statement? Minor disrespect and disruption are increasing over time, and are most likely during the last 15 minutes of our block periods when students are engaged in independent seat work. This pattern is most common in 7th and 8th grades, involves many students, and appears to be maintained by escape from work (but may also be maintained by peer attention… we are not sure). Yes
