  1. Tracing the EvolutionofKEYS f

  2. KEYS Theoretical Roots • Organizational quality (organizational conditions) :W. Edward Deming Effective Schools Research • Curriculum & instruction: Newman and Wehlage (University of Wisconsin) APA’s Learner’s Centered Principles Charlotte Danielson’s framework for teaching NBPTS standards • Professional development, learning communities and trust relationships:Milbrey Mclaughlin, Judith Warren Little, Ann Lieberman, Michael Fullan, Anthony Bryk and the NSDCprofessional development standards

  3. Original KEYS Research • 256 item questionnaire • 3,000 randomly selected NEA teacher members • Over 1,600 completed the survey • Analysis of data to cluster items • 35 indicators of school quality; 5 major dimensions (KEYS) • Validated through case studies; 6 districts

  4. Original KEYS Instrument • 256 items streamlined to 120 items • Validity not affected • Self-assessment tool • Yields set of objective data related to 35 organizational conditions • Compared with benchmarks • Focused efforts to improve quality of teaching and learning

  5. New KEYS 2.0 Survey • Original used successfully in over 1000 schools • NEA has revised and improved survey • More user friendly • Ensure all survey items address teaching and learning concepts and conditions that directly affect the core purposes of schools • IMPROVED STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT!

  6. NEA KEYS 2.0 Survey Development The Advisory Groups • NEA KEYS Advisory Group: Michael Fullan, Willis Hawley, Ann Lieberman, Joe Murphy, Jomills Braddock, Susan Moore Johnson • KEYS 2.0 Research Advisory Group:Jomills Braddock, Mark Smylie, Floraline Stevens, Helen Marks, Sylvia Rosenfield

  7. Revision of Survey Items • Retained “best” of original KEYS • Reviewed and clarified questions to eliminate ambiguity • Expanded scope of instrument • Focus shift to research-based principles rather than specific pedagogical styles or curricular programs • Focus groups readied for pilot testing

  8. NEA KEYS 2.0 Survey Development Pilot Testing New Instrument • School is primary unit of analysis • National random sample of schools: NCES • All NEA Regions represented • 38 schools in sample (68%) 28 NEA, 10 AFT • 13 elementary (5 urban, 5 suburban, 3 rural) • 13 middle (4 urban, 3 suburban, 6 rural) • 12 high (4 urban, 5 suburban, 3 rural)

  9. NEA KEYS 2.0 Survey Development Pilot Testing New Instrument • Total number of respondents = 1491 (52%) • Number of teachers responding = 1061 (71%) • Education Support Professionals (378) and administrators (52) responding = 430 (29%)

  10. Analysis of KEYS 2.0 Data • Used series of factor analyses to determine if and how items clustered together • Allowed for the identification of conditions or indicators of quality that could be measured • Determined the extent to which the indicators of quality identified were positively related to student achievement

  11. Results of KEYS 2.0 Research • 42 indicators of quality clustered into 6 main KEYS • First 5 KEYS are the same as the original • Curriculum and Instruction became KEY 6 • Allows school the opportunity to compare its scores on each indicator with the average scores of all the schools in the pilot as well as with schools scoring in the 90th percentile
