Data-Based Decision MakingDistrict-wide Core Instruction DuFourQuestions: (asked after each assessment period, district, school, and grade level) What is it we want our students to learn? First Grade – phonemic awareness, phonics, text fluency 2. How will we know if our students are learning? Analyze indicator performance over time. Set an initial goal of 85% of students reaching the benchmark category. Phonemic Awareness (PSF) Basic Phonics (NWF) 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12
Data-Based Decision MakingDistrict-wide Core Instruction DuFourQuestions: 3. How will we respond when students don’t learn? Give schools, teachers resources to teach phonemic awareness and phonics. 2008-11 – providedresources from mCLASS, FCRR, Reading Foundations 2012-13 – explored options for systematic word study in all K-2 classrooms. 2013-14 – begin Fundations K – 2 in 68 elementary schools 4. How will we enrich and extend the learning for students who have demonstrated proficiency? Shift instructional focus on the next building block skill (increase fluency and comprehension)
