Frameworks for leadership: Mental models for process management Instructional Leadership Training (ILT) November 27, 2012
Desired outcomes • Understand some of the basic components of the new accountability system for 2013 and beyond • Generate feedback on a draft CBA analysis protocol for calibrating the work of PLCs • Learn how to generate some key administrator data views in Aware, Forethought and Workshop • Recognize the importance of monitoring processes when PLCs plan for learning
Index-based accountability Index 1 Student Achievement Score 0-100 ? Index 2 Student Progress Score 0-100 Rating Index 3 Closing Performance Gaps Score 0-100 Index 4 Postsecondary Readiness Score 0-100
Index 1 – Student Achievement • Begins 2013 • Performance standards • STAAR 3-8 and EOC: Final Level II (Satisfactory) • TAKS: Met Standard (2013 only) • Assessments • STAAR, STAAR-M (w/cap), STAAR-Alt (w/cap), STAAR-L (TBD) • TAKS, TAKS-M (grade 11) • Administrations • Grades 5 & 8: First 2 administrations • EOC: Primary admin, spring and previous summer and fall • EOC (MS): No double-testing
Index 1 – Student Achievement • Subjects • Reading, Math, Writing, Science, Social Studies • Student groups • All students only • Accountability subset • STAAR 3-8: Fall snapshot • EOC • Fall snapshot for spring and previous fall • Previous year snapshot for previous summer Subset based on Oct 2011 snapshot Subset based on Oct 2012 snapshot
Index 1 – Student Achievement • Methodology • Results summed across tests, subjects, grade levels Number of tests at Final Level II (STAAR) and Met Standard (TAKS) Number of tests taken
Index 2 – Student Progress • Begins 2014 • Growth standards: TBD • Transition table model to determine growth Level I Unsatisfactory Level II Satisfactory Level III Advanced 2013 2014 2013 2014 Level I Low Level I High Level II Low Level II Mid Level II High Level III Low Level III High 2014 2013 2013 2014
Index 2 – Student Progress • Subjects • Reading, Math, Writing (EOC only) • Science, Social Studies (TBD for EOC only) • Accountability subset • Same as for Index 1 • Student groups • All students • ELLs, Special Education • All seven race/ethnicity groups • Minimum group size: 20
Index 2 – Student Progress • Methodology • Results summed across tests and grade levels • Analyzed by subject and by student group Number in student group who met growth standard for subject Number in student group tested in subject
Index 3 – Closing Performance Gaps • Limited in 2013, final form in 2014 • Assessments and subjects • Same as Index 1 (all tests, all subjects, w/cap) • Accountability subset • Same as Index 1 • Minimum group size: 20 • Student groups • Economically disadvantaged • Two lowest-performing race/ethnicity groups from previous year • Alternate method used if only 1 or 2 subgroups
Index 3 – Closing Performance Gaps • Performance standard • Level II Final (2013 and beyond) • Level III (2014 and beyond) • Methodology • Summed across tests and grade levels • Results analyzed by subject and student group • Results are weighted • One point for each percentage point of students in the group meeting the Level II standard • Two points for each percentage point of students in the group meeting the Level III standard
Index 4 – Postsecondary Readiness 1. STAAR Percent Met Level III Standard • Begins 2014 • Assessments and subjects • Same as Index 1 (all tests, all subjects) • Accountability subset • Same as Index 1 • Minimum group size: 20 • Student groups evaluated • All students and seven race/ethnicity subgroups
Index 4 – Postsecondary Readiness 1. STAAR Percent Met Level III Standard • Methodology • Results summed by grade level, tests and subjects • Analyzed by student subgroup
Index 4 – Postsecondary Readiness 2. Grade 9-12 Graduation Rate • Begins 2013 • Standard • State-defined graduation rate as per statute • Four- and five-year rates used • Student groups • All students, ELLs, special education, seven race/ethnicity • Minimum group size: 20
Index 4 – Postsecondary Readiness 2. Grade 9-12 Graduation Rate • Methodology (four-year and five-year) Number of Graduates in cohort Graduates + Continuers + GED Recipients + Dropouts
Index 4 – Postsecondary Readiness 3. Recommended/Advanced High School Program • Begins 2013 • Student groups • All students, seven race/ethnicity groups • Minimum group size: 20 • Methodology Number graduates with RHSP or AHSP Total number of graduates
Index 4 – Postsecondary Readiness Index Construction • Graduation score (high school only) • Four- or five-year graduation rate, whichever is best • RHSP/AHSP graduates • STAAR score • Percent met Level III (2014 and beyond) • For high schools the graduation score and STAAR scores are averaged to determine overall index score
Index-based accountability Index 1 Student Achievement 45 ? Index 2 Student Progress 42 Rating Index 3 Closing Performance Gaps 48 Index 4 Postsecondary Readiness 56
Other accountability issues • Unification of state and federal systems may not be approved • ELL progress measures still undecided • Three-year averaging required by statute • Two possible campus and district ratings in 2013 • Met Standard • Improvement Required • One higher-level distinction available in 2014 for districts based on postsecondary readiness • Tier 1 & Tier 2 akin to Exemplary and Recognized
Other accountability issues • Campus distinctions • Postsecondary readiness (1st or 2nd tier) • Top 25% - Closing the Gap and Student Progress • Academic Achievement (Reading, Math, Science, Soc St) • 21st Century Workforce Development • Fine Arts, Physical Education • Second Language Acquisition • Timeline • March 2013 – Commissioner final decisions • May 2013 – Accountability Manual released

Why do effective leaders monitor and manage instructional processes? • Processes are the system component over which we have the most control • It is the most effective (and only?) way to leverage improvement in delivery • It provides agility to respond to internal and external changes in the system
The L stands for Learning • No single person knows how to do all of this perfectly • We are on a collaborative learning journey
Context surrounding CBAs • Primary purpose: Provide data to C&I staff to assess the curriculum • Secondary purpose: Provide PLCs with data on rigorous, aligned items to help calibrate design of assessments and instruction • Not intended to be a comprehensive assessment of student mastery of the TEKS in previous 9 weeks of instruction

Assessment for Learning model • Model • An example for imitation or emulation • A description or analogy used to help visualize something that cannot be directly observed • “Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful.” - George Box • Help teachers visualize how parts of a process fit together into a cohesive whole • Help leaders identify key places to monitor processes and identify opportunities for learning

Taught Written Tested Draft CBA Analysis Protocol • It’s about alignment, learning and improving processes • It’s not about compliance Standards
Draft CBA Analysis Protocol • Designed to lead PLCs through a thought process • Identify items where students had difficulty • Compare how SEs were addressed in items with how they were addressed in the taught and tested curriculum • Compare performance on the SEs with performance on the state test last year • Determine if and how these SEs will be re-addressed in current year • Determine how instruction and assessment will be modified the next time these areas are taught
(+) (∆) (–) • Consider as a group the draft protocol in light of the context just discussed • Determine if there are components that should be added to the protocol. Provide a rationale for why they should be included. • Identify components that could be improved through change, what those changes should be, and your rationale • Identify components that should be deleted and your rationale
