1. Where are we? What is the baseline data? 2. Where do we want to be? 5. How will we know we are successful? 3. How will we get there? 4. Put the PLAN into ACTION!! It all begins with the DATA!! How do we start the improvement process?
PLCQuestions (DuFour ): • What do we want our students to know and be able to do? • How will we know when they get it? • What will we do when they don’t get it? • What will we do when they do get it?
Networking Directions: 3 minutes to tell each other about your school. You many ONLY talk about data using the questions below…no side-bars or bird walks. When you hear “time” you go to your next “date” • What do the data tell us? • What do the data not tell us? • What are causes for celebration? • What are opportunities for improvement? (OFI’s) • What are next steps?
