Data-based decision making workbook

1. Data-based decision making workbook Cabarrus County Schools 2013

2. Team Purpose Activity • Map out the teams that currently exist at your school. • What topics/problems/needs do these teams address? • How and what do these teams communicate with each other? • Be prepared to share with the group.

3. Team Purpose ActivityUse this space to plan/organize

4. Defined Team Processes Activity • Begin discussing roles and creating team agreements. • Utilize a method in which people have an equal voice.

5. Defined Team Processes ActivityUse this space to plan/organize

6. SMART Practice Activity • List 5 items on your “Bucket List.” • Write a SMART goal for one of your items. Is it Specific? Is it Measureable? Is it Attainable? Is it Relevant? Is it Time-bound? Ex: After training for twelve weeks, I will complete the Outer Banks Half-Marathon on November 11, 2012.

7. SMART Practice Activity

8. Data-based decision making School-Wide Case Study

10. School-Wide Case Study Data

11. Identify Problems in School-Wide Case Study • Note discrepancies between what is desired and what exists. • Identify any patterns or trends. • Is there a problem? • As a team, agree on the problems to be addressed first.

12. Identify Problems in School-Wide Case Study

13. School-Wide Case Study: Digging Deeper • What questions do you have about instruction, curriculum and environment for this grade level?

14. School-Wide Case Study:Develop Hypothesis

15. School-Wide Case Study:Test the Hypothesis

16. Develop the Hypothesis for School-Wide Case Study • As a team, develop the hypothesis(es) by considering Instruction, Curriculum, Environment and (ICE). • Plan how to Review, Interview, Observe and/or Test (RIOT) in order to test your hypothesis(es). • Be prepared to share with the group.

17. Develop the Hypothesis for School-Wide Case Study

18. Creating a SMART Goal for School-Wide Case Study • Create a goal for possible solutions. • Ensure the creation of a SMART goal by asking these questions: Is it Specific? Is it Measureable? Is it Attainable? Is it Relevant? Is it Time-bound?

19. Creating a SMART Goal for School-Wide Case Study

20. Develop and Implement Action Plan for School-Wide Case Study • Create some action items for this sample team. • Do your action items include a time/date for completion? • Do your action items name the person(s) responsible? • Is there a way to measure fidelity of implementation?

21. Develop and Implement Action Plan for School-Wide Case Study

22. Evaluate and Revise Action Plan of the School-Wide Case Study Use data to answer the following: Has the goal been met? • If yes, explore the following options: • Increase goal for the same problem. • Choose another problem to address. • Gradually fade use of the plan. • If no, explore the following options: • Evaluate fidelity of implementation. • Assess problem identification. • Consider the accuracy of the hypothesis. • Alter the timeline. • Find ways to adjust the solutions. • Review “like peer” data.

23. Evaluate and Revise Action Plan of the School-Wide Case Study

24. Data-based decision making Individual Student Case Study

26. Identify Problems in Individual Student Case Study • Note discrepancies between what is desired and what exists. • Identify any patterns or trends. • Is there a problem? • As a team, agree on the problems to be addressed first.

27. Identify Problems in Individual Student Case Study

28. Sample Forms for Problem-Solving

29. Individual Student Case Study Data: Digging Deeper What questions do you have about instruction, curriculum, environment and the learner based on this data? Use the sample forms provided.
