Where is Everyone with Data?

1. A LOOK AT THE NUMBERS: How We Use Data at Cal Prep, An Aspire Public School in Partnership with UC Berkeley

2. Where is Everyone with Data? Find a partner from a school other than your own. Ask the following, be ready to report out! • In what ways do you use data at your site? • What effect has data had on student achievement and culture at your site? • How has your college partner been enlisted to help with data? • What would you most like to get out of this session?

10. The Partnerships • Co-directed by Aspire and UC Berkley • Meet with both weekly • Both are vision holders, stakeholders and offer financial and intellectual capital • Both afford us a greater potential to look at and receive breadth of data and information • Both stress the use of data to drive student achievement and well being

11. Similarities and Differences • First think, then share: • What similarities and differences are there between our sites? • How will this influence the ways in which we both look at data?

12. What Works for Us • Having staff buy in with data • Having staff willing to work hard and smart based on the results • Use of data that assess success in all areas of the school and with all stakeholders • Looking at data in different settings, with different folks • Looking at data often and critically • Having resources that help “crunch” data • We are responsive to what the data says • Having an organizational culture that supports data use and sharing

13. Staffing and Staff Culture • Focused on culture with students and staff • Trust, Positive Intent, Defined Vision • Focus on Student Achievement • Accountability • Above and beyond is the norm • From interview on, emphasis on data and professional learning and growth • Everyone is involved

14. Multiple Measures and FociFrequent and Regular • On a regular and frequent basis, different people look at quantative data that shows: • Student performance on teacher-developed standards based assessments (teacer, team) • Student performance on regular benchmarks and/or interims (teacher, team) • Student performance as judged by grades (admin) • Student performance as judged by discipline (admin)

15. Multiple Measures and FociAnnual or Semi-Annual • On a semi-annual or annual level, we look at quantative data that shows: • Student performance on the CST (State Test) • Efficacy of administration as assessed by staff (RISE, Aspire) • Efficacy of Aspire Support as assessed by staff (Aspire) • School performance and support as assessed by families (Aspire) • School performance and support as assesse by students (Aspire)
