Data Coaching Institute: Day 2 Moving Toward Action ESD 113 Equity Through Service www..esd113.org
Overview of the Two Days Day 1 Day 2 The big picture Problems of Practice Plan and Evaluate Getting Ready and Issues Application to your context Diagnosing Causes
Today’s Agenda Evaluating Results
Checking Understanding What do your recall are the major topics and possible outcomes from: • Getting Ready • Identify Issues • Understand Issues • Diagnose Causes
Today’s Objectives • Learn concepts related to: • Team readiness for use of data • Creating focusing questions • Gathering, displaying and analyzing data • Understanding underlying causes • Apply these concepts and related tools to real-life data and begin construction of data action plan.
The Big Picture Priority #1: Explore and adapt a toolset that will support teams to systemically improve how they use data. Priority #2: Build capacity to sustain and expand the use of data in systemic improvement and prepare a plan for application of new learning.
The Problem of Practice It is the adults who create and maintain learning opportunities for the children they serve. The outcomes that children experience, therefore, are determined by the practices of adults in the learning environment.
Identifying the Problem: Two Sides of the Same Coin Problem Statement Expressed in terms of what children are having difficulty with. E.g. Our children are having difficulty following multi-step directions. Problem of Practice Expressed in terms of the teaching, administrative, organizational, and structural practices related to the learner-centered problem. E.g. We do not give our children enough practice with multi-step tasks.
Diagnose Cause(s): PoP Developing Problem of Practice: • Review sample problem of practice • Select a root cause from day 1 • Brainstorm practices that result in root cause • Select the practice that is most likely to have the greatest positive impact if changed • Complete Problem of Practice Worksheet NOTE - This process may (and should) include review of additional data, research, conferences with peers, etc.
Two Paths Diverge… Applying Your Learning As a group, come to consensus to either: • Apply the learning of yesterday and today to a problem of practice from your program (Blue Cup) - or - • Consider how to implement the Data Institute processes as your ‘problem of practice’ (Red Cup)
Plan and Take Action • Clearly Describe the ‘End State’. • Plan to implement strategies.
An action plan… …is a roadmap for change. …defines a path. …bridges a gap.
But action planning is often… …tedious. …filling out boxes. …an exercise in documentation. …hopeful aspirations.
What is an Improvement Initiative? Desired End State (goal) Strategy C Strategy B Strategy A Underlying Problem
Plan and Take Action • Clearly Describe the ‘End State’. • Plan to implement strategies.
Descriptions of Desired End States (goals) What will it “look like” when the problem of practice has been solved, and the underlying problem has been addressed? All stakeholders need to have a common understanding of this picture.
A rose by any other name… Objective Impact End State Target Outcome Goal
Describing the End State (goal) The challengeis to provide evidence of change.
S.M.A.R.T End States (goals) SPECIFIC MEASURABLE ATTAINABLE REALISTIC TIMELY
5.7 Writing End Statements (goals) Elements: What will change? Who will it impact? By how much? By when?
5.1 Describing the Desired End State Purpose: To develop a shared vision among the data team and all stakeholders of what the desired end state will look like. 30 minutes of team meeting time and additional time for stakeholder collaboration. Time:
A means to an end… Strategy = Means Goal = End State
Selecting Best Practice Strategies Feasible Strategy Feasible Strategy Potential Strategy Potential Strategy Potential Strategy High Impact Strategy High Impact Strategy High Impact Strategy HIGH IMPACT STRATEGIES High-impact strategies that are feasible and have been demonstrated to be effective in similar situations.
5.3 Identifying Potential Strategies Purpose: To identify a variety of strategies that could feasibly address the identified problem(s) of practice, and to identify strategies that will support the implementation of the initiative and set the stage for scaling-up and sustainability.About 30 minutes. Time:
Selecting Best Practice Strategies HIGH IMPACT STRATEGIES
5.7 Developing an Action Plan Purpose: Develop a plan that will guide the specific steps of the strategy. About 30 minutes to introduce and additional time to complete. Time:
Evaluation • Identify data collection elements before you start implementation of the action plan(s). • Two parts: • Short term monitoring (formative) of the strategies • Long term plan goal evaluation (summative)
Quality of Implementation . Billions spent on research-based best practices “Science of implementation”
Quality of Implementation From: Fixsen, D. L., Naoom, S. F., Blase, K. A., & Frances, W. (2007). Implementation: The Missing Link Between Research and Practice. The APSAC Advisor . “The quality of the implementation process is the key link between sound research and desired outcomes.” “A sound intervention isn’t enough, those who will make It happen and the systems that they work within must be shaped to support implementation.”
Your Task! Using what you now know, the tools, and information presented over the two days, and the information that you gathered through the pre-institute activity, you will begin to develop an: • Evaluation • Report to the other teams on your Action Plan and Evaluation Plan (if separate).
After Your Work Session You Will Report Out On: • How you feel about what you have created? • What parts of the process worked well? What parts didn’t work so well? • What recommendations do you have for the ESD 113 team? Think about how you would use this process with your program.
Yesterday we: • Learned concepts related to: • Getting Ready • Identifying & Understanding Issues • Diagnosing Causes • Applied these concepts by using tools/protocols to data in an example data portfolio &/or data from our programs.
Today we: • Learned concepts related to: • Describing measurable end states • Strategy identification and selection • Action planning • Used these concepts and related tools to begin construction of a problem of practice action plan, and implementation evaluation plan
