  1. MERIDEN Public Schools Data TeamsCollaboration Matters… January 2011

  2. “Educators will remain the most important resource in the battle to provide every child with a quality education, and thus leaders with a quality education must commit to creating the conditions in which those educators can continue to grow and learn as professionals.” ~Dufour

  4. Where? Right here in Meriden! Data teams will meet in all the Meriden Public and Parochial Schools, and at ACES’ Thomas Edison Middle School.

  5. When? January, 2011 Thursday Afternoon Early Dismissals.

  6. Why? To ensure all our students learn at high levels!

  7. “Successful schools focused intensively on student data from multiple sources, and they specifically focused on cohort data”~Doug Reeves

  8. Successful schools asked the following questions: • “What percentage of a group of students is proficient now compared to a year ago?” • “What percentage of our students have gained one or more grade levels in reading when we compare their scores today to their scores a year ago?” • “Of those students who were not proficient a year ago, what percentage are now proficient?” • “Of those students who were proficient a year ago, what percentage are now at goal?”

  9. Teachers compare the students to themselves rather than to other groups of students. This analysis allows educators to focus their teaching strategies on the needs of their students, and not on generic improvement methods.

  10. How? Jump right in!

  11. Teachers will work on data analysis and examine student work by: • Creating a collaborative culture • Providing teachers and teams with time, parameters and support essential to high performance • Focus the attention of the school on learning vs. teaching through data analysis

  12. Benefits? • Improved student learning through increased capacity of school personnel • Provide teachers and teams with relevant feedback that will inform teaching practice • Data teams will provide teachers with time to make an honest assessment of their practice and their students’ performance

  13. Benefits? Cont… • Provide teachers with time to initiate new practices and discontinue those that don’t work • Develop systematic responses to provide struggling students with necessary support services, and challenge all students to reach their maximum learning potential • Develop action plans for change
