Today’s Focus • To examine the importance of data-based decision making in leadership by: • Using student learning data • Using operational data
Data-Based Leadership:Student Learning Data Why: • Curriculum/Pacing • Personnel • Student Learning Where: • Summative assessments • Formative assessments • Classroom observations
Data-Based Leadership:Student Learning Data: Formative • Provides an instant check for understanding • Used to adjust teaching and learning as it is happening • Provides descriptive feedback • What is right • What is wrong • How to fix it
Activity/Discussion Think about formative assessment in your classrooms. • What strategies or tools are used to gather minute to minute learning data? • Cite a specific example of how a teacher or group of teachers have altered instruction in response to formative assessment.
Data-Based Leadership:Student Learning Data: Summative • Assures alignment with standards • State • National • Reveals gaps in achievement • Pacing • Provides trend data • Students • Personnel
Activity/Discussion Think about student learning data in your school that is obtained from summative assessments (SOL, unit tests, benchmarks). • What are your sources of summative data? • How is this data distributed to stakeholders? • How is it used by the leaders in your district, your school, the classroom? • Do you feel that it is used effectively? How do you know? • Should something be done differently?
Data-Based Decision Making:Student Learning Data: Observational • Improve instructional practices • Follow up on professional development • Ensure fidelity in the use of programs • Monitor pacing and curriculum
Data-Based Decision Making:Operational Data • Documents • Schedules • Programs • Policies (attendance) • Procedures (dismissal, attendance) • SIP • Lesson plans, grade books, report card review
Data-Based Decision Making:Operational Data • Program Evaluation • Reading or math audits • Gifted education • Special education • Title 1 • Remediation/Intervention • Enrichment • English language learner instruction
Data-Based Decision Making:Operational Data • Observational Data • Classroom observations • Walk throughs • Measures of achievement • Perceptions Data • Surveys • Parents, teachers, students • Organized chats with community, parents, staff
Data-Based Decision Making:Operational Data • Team Proceedings • Agendas • Minutes • Work products
Activity/Discussion • As a team, reflect on the examples of operational data (documents, program evaluations, observational data, perceptional data, team proceedings). • Choose one area in which you used the data to make improvements in your school. Share the procedure you used and the results that were attained.
Using Your Data Replacing a poor teacher with an average one would raise a single classroom’s lifetime income earnings by about $266,000, economists estimate. Multiply that by a career’s worth of classrooms. - Annie Lowrey, Big Study Links Good Teachers to Lasting Gain, 2012
Using Your Data “Elementary and middle school teachers who help raise their students’ standardized test scores seem to have a wide-ranging, lasting positive effect on those students’ lives beyond academics, including lower teenage pregnancy rates, and greater college matriculation and adult earnings.”
Activity: Using Your Data • Name the top 3 teachers in your school. • Name the bottom 3 teachers in your school. • Look at their annual evaluations. • What do you notice? • What will you do about it?
What was one idea I learned during today’s video that I plan to share with teachers at my school?
