THE ARTISTS’ TOUCH Using Reading First Data to Guide Intensive Reading Intervention Peggy Hill 03/09/05
Today’s Outcomes • Participants will: • Examine what data is available • Determine what the data says • Determine the implications of the data • Learn how to use the data to design an intensive intervention program
Sources of Reading First Data • DIBELS • Terra Nova • ISTEP+ • Other assessments • Informal sources
Why Multiple Sources? • Triangulation • Predictive ability • Progress monitoring • Diagnostic
A CONTEMPORARY PAINTING • Rick DuFour • What is important for students to know and be able to do? • How will we know that they know? • What will we do when they don’t know?
Key to Data Significance • USE IT! • Walk the talk—All children can learn!
Focus on these keys: • INTENTIONALITY • INTENSITY
Big Picture Data • Corporation • School • Grade Level • Class • Student
What do the data say? • Are there patterns that you can identify? • What do the data tell you?
What are the implications of this data? • What must you act on? • What are the types of action to take?
INTENSIVE INTERVENTION? • Data driven • Acceleration + Pre-requisite skills • Explicit, intense instruction • Low adult-child ratio • Active student engagement • Appropriate use of learning variables • Extra time • SBRR materials/programs • Learning style accommodations
Building an Intensive Intervention:Step 1: The students • Which students are in need of intensive intervention? • In which components are the students below benchmark? • What is the root of the problem for each student? • How might the students be grouped?
Building an Intensive InterventionStep 2: The Student’s Plan • I.I.P. (Individual Intervention Plan) • Being intentional when making instructional choices • Measuring Progress • Course Corrections
Building an Intensive Intervention Step 3: The Program • What materials/programs will be used? • How to be intentional in selection? • What will be included/excluded in the daily program? • What will the daily intervention program look like?
Building an Intensive InterventionStep 4: The Instructors • Who will instruct the student? • How to make intentional choices? (Data rears its ugly head again!)
Building an Intensive InterventionStep 5: Evaluation • How will we know if it is working? • What will we do if it isn’t? • How will we inform the classroom teacher in order to effect continuous progress?
Last Steps • How will we evaluate the overall program? • How will we evaluate methods and materials?
Completing the Picture • Use the data • Be intentional • Monitor progress and make course corrections • Use intense interventions • Evaluate • Celebrate!
