Optimizing Lesson Progress Reporting Systems in Oregon Educational Settings

1. Oregon Reading FirstCohort B Leadership SessionMarch 3, 2008 Checking in on Lesson Progress Reporting Systems (LPRs)

2. What are the components of a LPR System? • setting lesson goals and tracking lesson progress • ______________________________________ • ______________________________________

3. It all starts with a goal: What outcomes do we want for our students?

4. Clear Goals and Expectations for Each Grade Second Grade DIBELS Measures with Benchmark Levels

5. How do we link these goals to program completion? To read at least 90 correct words per minute by Spring of second grade, what level (or specific lesson) of a program must a second grader complete? • Houghton Mifflin, Grade 2? • Horizons, Level B? • Read Well Plus? • Reading Mastery Plus, Level 2?

6. What exact lesson do students need to complete? What lesson did each of these benchmark students complete at the time of Spring DIBELS testing?

7. What exact lesson do students need to complete?

8. What exact lesson do students need to complete? Educational Resources, Inc. 2002

9. Lesson Pacing Goals Now, we have a lesson pacing goal. The goal for second grade students placed in RM Plus is to complete, at a minimum, the last lesson of RM Plus, Level 2 (Lesson 160) by the end of second grade.

10. Activity 1: Checking on Lesson Pacing Goals Highlight second grade students on your winter DIBELS class list report who read 68 cwpm or more. List the program and last lesson completed as of January 2008 for each of these students.

11. Activity 2: Checking on Lesson Pacing Goals Large Group Discussion: What are the lesson completion goals you identified for second grade students at the beginning of the year for the various intervention programs (e.g., Reading Mastery, Reading Mastery Plus, Horizons, Phonics for Reading)? Does the winter data indicate that your lesson completion goals were good ones? Do you need to adjust any lesson completion goals for second graders?

15. “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944)

16. What is our plan for meeting the lesson pacing goal?

17. What is our plan for meeting the lesson pacing goal? RM Plus, Level II, L160

18. What is our plan for meeting the lesson pacing goal? Goal for Winter Break

19. What is our plan for meeting the lesson pacing goal? Goal for Spring Break RM Plus, Level II, L160

25. How do we get back on pace? Structural Items Quality of Implementation • Schedule adequate? • Group size appropriate? • Students placed correctly? • Lessons implemented with fidelity? • Pacing appropriate? • Behavior management in place?

26. “To will is to select a goal, determine a course of action that will bring one to that goal, and then hold to that action till the goal is reached. The key is action.”Michael Hanson

27. A Focus on Student Mastery Lesson pacing goals should not be met at the expense of student mastery!

28. Activity 3: Tracking Lesson Progress Using Table 2, track the lesson progress of a group of intensive second graders. Be prepared to share the following information with a partner: • Lesson pacing goal for the group • Current lesson as of February, 2008 • Net pacing (+/- lessons)

29. Activity 4: Tracking Lesson Progress Large Group Discussion: How often are you tracking lesson progress of instructional groups at your building (e.g., weekly, monthly)? What type of Lesson Progress Report are you asking your teachers to fill out? When/how is information from LPRs used? What are some actions you have taken when a group has been off pace?

30. What are the components of a LPR System? 1. setting lesson goals and tracking lesson progress • collecting information on student performance/ program mastery • ______________________________________

37. In-Program Assessments A LPR System provides: √ a record of student performance on in-program assessments (summary and details) √ a list of in-program assessments administered in the last instructional period (e.g., month) √ a list of students who passed the assessment(s), a list of students who failed the assessment(s), and a list of students who were absent on the day of testing √ a summary of retesting procedures (i.e., who needs to be retested, who was retested, who passed the retest)

44. Activity 5: In-Program Assessments Using in-program assessment data, determine student mastery of your group of second grade intensive students. Did all of the students pass the last mastery test? If not, who failed and on what skills? Did the teacher remediate and retest? What is the pattern of performance for the students on the last three mastery tests?

45. Activity 6: In-Program Assessments Large Group Discussion: • How are your teachers recording student performance on in-program assessments (e.g., Excel spreadsheets, tables copied from the program’s Teacher Guide, ORFC forms, etc.)? • How do you, as a coach, access and track this information? • How do your teachers address failing scores on subtests/ tests?

46. What are the components of a LPR System? 1. setting lesson goals and tracking lesson progress 2. collecting information on student performance/ program mastery 3. monitoring group progress toward important literacy benchmarks

47. DIBELS Progress Monitoring

48. DIBELS Progress Monitoring √ Clip booklets by instructional group. √ Flag booklet if student is three data points below aim line.

49. DIBELS Progress Monitoring • The web-based LPR system will automatically farm progress monitoring data from the DIBELS website. • DIBELS progress monitoring data will be organized by instructional group. • A graph of performance of students in the instructional group will be provided.
