  3. How are our current resources allocated? • Florida School • Improvement • Background • Reflection • Shifts in Practice • Going Forward

  4. Three little questions… • With respect to Florida’s support of underperforming schools through Differentiated Accountability, we sought to answer three little questions: • What do we do? • Why do we do it? • How do we know it’s working? • Florida School • Improvement • Background • Reflection • Shifts in Practice • Going Forward

  5. Modify our point of entry… • Florida School • Improvement • Background • Reflection • Shifts in Practice • Going Forward School Support District Partnership

  9. Get the psychology right… • Florida School • Improvement • Background • Reflection • Shifts in Practice • Going Forward

  10. So we can get this… Laipple, J. (2012). Rapid Change Immeidate Action For The Impatient Leader. Atlanta, GA: Performance Management Publications.

  11. The new DA way of work: • Florida School • Improvement • Background • Reflection • Shifts in Practice • Going Forward

  12. The new DA theory of action: • Florida School • Improvement • Background • Reflection • Shifts in Practice • Going Forward “If we increase the effectiveness and automaticity of problem-solving taking place in districts and schools across Florida, outcomes for all students will improve.”

  13. What will this new work require? • How do we ensure our customers and stakeholders understand problem-solving is a means to an end, not the end? • How do we ensure it lives up to its promise of bringing rigor to data driven decision making, implementation, and impact analysis? • Florida School • Improvement • Background • Reflection • Shifts in Practice • Going Forward

  14. What will this new work require? • Better information to guide decision making at the school, district and state levels • Florida School • Improvement • Background • Reflection • Shifts in Practice • Going Forward

  15. Better information for our districts & schools… • We’ve built a PROTOTYPE tool to facilitate the types of effect size analyses that will become a routine part of our continuous improvement process. • The following results are PRELIMINARY and have not been VETTED or REPLICATED. They are included here for purposes of illustration only. • Florida School • Improvement • Background • Reflection • Shifts in Practice • Going Forward

  16. PRELIMINARY Analysis of Low 100 (may change): Largest effect size in “What Works Clearinghouse” for whole school reforms directed at reading comprehension (Project CRISS)

  17. Why are our Lowest 100 findings important? • They are a proof point of what is possible. • They invite examination of WHY the program was generally successful in improving student achievement (the additional hour of required reading instruction may have been the catalyst, not the cause). • They point to an exemplary implementation (Palm Beach) from which much may be learned and shared across Florida in the context of school improvement and district improvement planning and problem- solving. • Florida School • Improvement • Background • Reflection • Shifts in Practice • Going Forward

  18. What will this new work require? • Better information to guide decision making at the school, district and state levels • A SIP redesigned around problem-solving, implementation, and ongoing refinement • Florida School • Improvement • Background • Reflection • Shifts in Practice • Going Forward
