Increase participants awareness of how program data decision making and evaluation efforts can be integrated. Data process Data integration Examples Goal and Objective
What are your questions? What are your data sources? What reports do you need? Who needs access? What resources do you have? Process
Align with targets/strategic plan Align with state initiatives Training objectives Evaluation questions: If you train, do people implement? Do people implement with fidelity Do the interventions sustain? What is the impact on your constituents? Questions
Process Instruments (e.g., fidelity tools) What is your process? Outcomes Performance data Curriculum-based measures Classroom checklists Office discipline referrals Transition information (e.g., post-secondary) Data
Item development (align with questions) Systems, Practice, Data, Outcomes Schoolwide, Classroom, Non-Classroom, Individual Judgmental validity (Expert Judgment) Concurrent validity (With Reliable Tool) Instrument development
Pilot instrument Item analysis (factor analysis) Review and update Balance input with process Instrument development
Access • What types of decisions need to be made based on the data and who makes them • Statewide personnel • Administrators • Direct service providers
In what format do you need the data? Graphs Specific instruments Combinations (process and outcomes) Summaries & reports Output files (flat/rectangular format) Common identifiers Clean your data (SOP) Reports
The more you can draw upon existing resources, the less time it will take Resources
Data inputs Data already exists SOP for cleaning data Additional data from direct assessments SOP for reliability Data integration Requirements, common identifier National Educational Technology Standards(NETS) Universal data system for educational data Technology Data decision making
Data cleaning Reliability of data entry Tips
Static Graphs, tables, etc. based on questions Dynamic Analysis based requires export of flat files Reports
Statewide Summative and formative: Annual and Quarterly reports Administration Formative: Professional development, tracking data collection, reports Direct Service Diagnostic: How much of the interventions is in place, what is the impact, and what changes do you need to make? Decision Making
Example of questions Sample instrument Sample report Integration of Data
ConsiderationsKey Components from Three-Tiered Intervention Programs
STUDENTS WHO RESPOND TO A CONTINUM OF SUPPORTS Students who respond to intensive academic and behavior support 1-7% Individual Support 5-15% Group Support Students who respond to less intensive academic and behavior support 80-90% Students who would respond to effective core academic and behavior curriculum Schoolwide support OSEP-PBS National Standard
Systems Administrative Commitment Priority for Staff Representative Team Audit of practices Action Plan Data System Internal Coaching External Coaching Practices Based on evidence Data Process and impact What and with whom? Key Elements
Identify expectations of the setting Evaluate implementation and evaluation of core curriculum Develop team/plan/support Directly teach expectations Consistent consequences Acknowledgement Collect data Process, academics and behavior Communicate with staff On-going evaluation Schoolwide Supports
What does your current system provide information that is: Efficient, reliable, dependable, user friendly Who needs to see your data? Who are your stakeholders What is your timeline? Questions to ask
