  3. New members: Session topics • What is SEC? Why? How? -- RB • What Collaborative does; Tools --RB • SEC online survey system/alignment – Diana Nunnaley • How to plan an SEC project – Lani Seikaly • How to use SEC data charts– Lisa Palacios

  4. Rationale Standards Assessment Curriculum

  5. Key Question -- SEC ToolsResearch into Practice • How can Educators obtain reliable, valid data to determine Alignment of instruction with required standards and assessments?

  6. A neutral content grid with cognitive demand Surveys of Enacted Curriculum The intended curriculum: State content standards—What students should learn The assessed curriculum: State (and other) assessments—tested learning The learned curriculum: Student outcomes based on school learning The enacted curriculum: What teachers teach

  7. Content Matrix

  8. Survey Sections/Uses • Instructional Readiness • Teacher Opinions • Professional Development • Types, Frequency • Content , Active, • Collegial, Coherence • Instructional Content • Topic x Cog. Demand • School & Class Description • Instructional Activities • General • Problem Solving Activities • Pairs & Small Group Work • Use of Hands-on Materials • Use of Calculators/Computers & other Ed. Tech. • Assessment Use • Instructional Influences

  9. Steps in SEC Development • R&D studies curriculum-- Early ‘90s • Models:TIMSS, NAEP, Analyze assessment • OTL interest of States, Porter/ Smithson research, CCSSO Science Assessment project • State collaborative –Develop surveys-’98-’01 (NSF) 11-State field study, Reports, Alignment, USI • Use of data experiment – DEC (NSF/ROLE:‘01-04) • Evaluation: MSP RETA PD Study (‘02 – 05, NSF) • English/ Language Arts survey (‘03 – 04) • Current projects: 15 States, 4 Districts, 5 MSPs

  10. Applications • Alignment analysis --instruction, standards, assessments • Instructional improvement in schools • Needs assessment/ Evaluation • Indicators – monitoring change over time

  11. Multi-State Collaborative • Build Knowledge of leaders • Share Strategies • Produce joint products, tools

  12. SEC Collaborative offers • Core Components of SEC tools/services • Surveys with teachers – report instruction • Alignment analysis – content code standards and assessments • How to use Data – knowledge, skills 4) Leader development – 2-3 meetings/yr • In-state workshops: a) orientation b) use of data

  20. SEC by the Numbers (2) • By Comparison 1996 207 Science Teachers (5 states) 1999 626 M/S Teachers (11 states) 2005 5,414 E, M, S teachers 2006 10,200 E, M, S teachers 2007 10,400 E, M, S, SSt (27 states)

  21. SEC Collaborative How SEC Collaborative works for members • Training and Assistance to project leaders • Project Planning w/ budget– meet local objectives • Each state/district makes decisions on services & project plan • Multi-state benefits of collaborative e.g., learning from experience, sharing ideas, training

  22. Accomplishments06-07SEC Collaborative • In-state Leader workshops, Project Planning • PPTs for Orientation, Survey Admin, Data use • Leader Development Standards document • Website revisions, improvements (SECsurvey.org; SEConline.org) • E.g., State Projects, All Alignment results, Report generator

  23. More AccomplishmentsSEC Collaborative • “Using Data to Improve Instruction” Education Leaders conference, St. Louis – 200 leaders, 32 sessions (30 states) • Social Studies Survey development – • 10 states, 5 prof. orgs., • NAEP Alignment analysis – 2007 Math items • Research/evaluation: • MSP study of professional development– multi-site study • Ohio case study of district/school implementation of SEC • Follow-up data tool –to track school level data • Validity study—longitudinal data for teachers and students • Ohio reading study

  24. Initiatives SEC 07-08 • College Board standards alignment analysis • Iowa SEC ELL Consortium • Webinar Training • Regional Leader Training • Planning— • Summer Meeting/Conference • Work Group products • Coding with States

  25. Goals SEC 07-08 • State/local projects—From pilots to broad application, local leadership training • Integrate SEC tools/data with Improvement Initiatives, especially data-driven • Research/Evaluation --Broader use of Surveys, Alignment • Assist States in planning with Service delivery agencies; SEC team with CACs & Labs • Social Studies SEC complete & implement

  26. View from CCSSO State Opportunities w/ SEC • Alignment –a) Standards-based consequential validity • B) Improving standards in state • Evaluation – connecting with resch/eval in states • Providing local leaders with basic information, then building on it • Montana model • KS Webinar model • Data-driven instructional improvement –relate SEC to other models • E.g. St. Louis conference • Implement through pilot district example – OH, OR • From pilots to broad application, local leadership training • Link SEC to other funded initaitives, ELL, R!, Title I sch improve, MSP • Longitudinal Data Systems (LDS)—enter SEC into systems

  27. Questions Addressed by SEC Data • How can in-depth data on content of instruction be collected and reported–not topic checklists, to analyze teaching content in relation to standards, assessments, achievement? • How can methods of teaching practices be compared across classrooms, schools, districts, and states? • How can enacted curriculum data be reported in a manner to encourage use by teachers to improve instruction?

  28. MSP PD Study Sites Brockport/Rochester – SUNY Cleveland Municipal SD Corpus Christi – AIMS - TX A&M El Paso – UTEP State MSPs: ID, IL, OR, OK, ME, MT NSF MSPs: Boston NJ MSP -- 12 districts NC MSP -- 17 districts SW PA MSP SCALE – Los Angeles

  29. Key Education Questions (cont’d) • How can we measure the effects of standards-based initiatives on instructional practices and curriculum in classrooms? • How can we analyze effectiveness of professional development on changes in teachers’ instructional practices? (i.e. determine the quality of professional development)

  30. What if… [for Intro of SEC to Educators] You could use data on instructional quality and content to guide professional development? You could have consistency across grade levels? You could know how well aligned your state standards were to the state assessment? You could compare how you teach content compared to how others across the nation teach? You could use anonymous teacher data to start a powerful school discussion about what the teacher needs are?
