Beliefs about the Role of Data • Neutral • Generates Questions • Most impactful when it leads to action
History of Summer Data Meetings • 2007 – Selected principals only • 2008 – Principal only 30-45 minutes • 2009 – Principals with teams 2 hours • 2010 – Principals with teams 3 hours • 2011 – Principals with teams all day
History Reactive with a focus on ratings Proactive with a focus on campus planning
Purpose • Increase knowledge of accountability systems • Examine campus data and generate discussion • Develop the Campus Improvement Plan by using data to guide the selection of instructional strategies • Build the capacity of campus teams to make data-informed decisions
Data Dig • AEIS Report • Worksheet • Average Scale Score Report and Growth Report • Develop 3 questions that arise from the data • TAKS Scores by Test Version Report • Look for gaps in performance • Principal’s Choice
Lessons Learned • Scheduling will never work out perfectly. • Campus teams benefit from structured and guided work time. • New - and some not so new - principals will need follow-up. • You will never please everyone.
Campus-Accountability Partnership Reactive with a focus on ratings Proactive with a focus on campus planning and continuous improvement
Selection Process • Principal Application • Scoring Rubric • Meeting with Assistant Superintendents
Activities • One-on-one meeting with each principal • Review CIP drafts and give feedback • Future meetings include: • Leadership team • Department chairs • Team leaders • Whole faculty
Lessons Learned • Voluntary needs to really mean voluntary. • Regularly scheduled meetings are more effective than “as needed”.
