5. Goal:Use several data points to measure the implementation and outcomes of Family Engagement, Inclusive Practices, and Cultural Responsive Practices Objectives: • Utilize data to make data-based decisions • Gain knowledge of Identifiers of Practice (IoP) • Gain skills on how to triangulate multiple data points to assess focus area outcomes

6. What is Professional Development? Answer the Poll Question: • Webinar • Seminar • Training • Workshop • All of the above

7. Million Dollar Question How do you know if a process or program is Effective? (Teacher, Administrator, district staff, parent, etc.) ??? Co-Teaching ??? ???

8. Prerequisite Elements: Before the effectiveness of a process/program can be measured accurately, the following must have been established: • What is the expectation for all? Why are we doing this? • Has it been defined to all? • Has the appropriate Professional Development (PD) been provided to all involved? • Is on-going support and follow-up PD in place? • Does the Infrastructure support it? • Have appropriate resources been provided? *If not the data results & outcomes will be inconclusive.

10. Data Triangulations • A type of data analysis • A method to determine the effectiveness • Single data source may lead to errors in your decision making Definition: • Validation of data through cross verification from two or more sources. • Sources could be… • Qualitative – Survey, feedback, interview, etc. • Quantitative – Standardized test scores, interventions data, graduation rate, attendance, discipline data, etc. • Combination of Qualitative & Quantitative

11. Data Triangulations: New Year’s Resolution “Increase Healthy Living”

13. Measure SPDG Outcomes • Focus Areas: Family Engagement, Cultural Responsive Practices, Inclusive Practices • Data Points: • Quality Indicator (QI) - LEA & School • Identifiers of Practice (IoP) – on-site process • SPP Indicators (1,3c, 4a & 4b, 8, 9, 10) • PD training events & number of participates • Survey & event feedback results

14. Quality Indicators (QI) • Quality Indicator (QI) is a self-assessment tool completed by LEA & School Leadership Team. QI data helps a leadership team assess where they are in implementing indicators by focus area.

15. Indicators of Practice (IoP) • Identifiers of Practice (IoP) is a tool to help each LEA Leadership Teams assess the implementation progress and future needs based on the focus areas. Process is completed by a group of people not the LEA Leadership Team.

16. SPP Data • SPP Indicators (1,3c, 4a & 4b, 8, 9, 10)

17. PD training events & number of participates

18. Survey & event feedback results

19. Recap SPDG outcomes • Assess Multiple Data Points: • Quality Indicator (QI) - LEA & School • Identifiers of Practice (IoP) – on-site process • SPP Indicators (1,3c, 4a & 4b, 8, 9, 10) • PD training events & number of participates • Survey & event feedback results

20. Answer the Poll Question: Have you ever heard ... Co-Teaching does not work? YesorNo

21. Use the Chat Pod to answer: • What is a reason “Co-Teaching” may not work?

22. Best question to ask…. Key: Get to Root Cause!

23. Focus Area: Inclusive Practices Example: Co-Teaching How do you know if Co-Teaching is working/effective?

24. Million Dollar Question:Is Co-Teaching Effective? Assess if the the following been established: • Expectations for All: • All students can learn • Definition to All: • Co-Teaching is a service delivery option. It is a learning environment where 2 or more educators share the responsibility of lesson planning, delivery of instruction, and progress monitoring for all students in the class.

25. Appropriate Professional Development: • Models of Co-Teaching: • One Teaching, One Observing • Station Teaching • Parallel Teaching • Alternative Teaching • Teaming • One Teaching, One Assisting • FBA/BIP • Accommodations & Modifications • Infrastructure in place: • School schedule • Pairing of educators • Resources: • Common planning time • Needs forms • Books, DVD, etc.

26. Evaluation of Co-Teaching Program Identify Population & Processes: • Students • Formative & Summative assessments of achievement • Behavior & Attendance • Perceptions (survey, feedback, interview, etc.) • Professionals • Classroom observations (walk-throughs, formal) • Perceptions (survey, feedback, interview, etc.) • Family & Community Members • Perceptions (survey, feedback, interview, etc.)

27. Formative & Summative Student Data: • Attendance, Behavior, Academics, Standardized Testing • Who? • When? • How? • Process to share data results?

28. Formative Assessment:Walk Through for Co-Teaching Classroom • Who? • When? • How? • Process to share data results? http://www.esc17.net/users/0209/GuidelinesforCoTeachinginTexas.pdf

32. Qualitative Feedback: Perceptions Surveys, Feedback Forms, Interview, Focus Groups, etc. • Who? Students, Family, Staff • When? Once year, 2x year… • How? Electronic, face-to-face • Process to share data results?

33. Focus Area: Inclusive Practices Example: Co-Teaching How do you know if Co-Teaching is working/effective?

34. Recap: Data Triangulation • Validation of data through cross verification from two or more sources. • Sources could be… • Qualitative – Survey, feedback, interview, etc. • Quantitative – Standardized test scores, interventions data, graduation rate, attendance, discipline data, etc.

35. If you ever hear again…. • PBIS does not work… • Inclusive practices does not work… • Family engagement does not work… • RTI does not work…

36. Building Capacity • When you leave today, what will you do with this information? • How will you share it with others in your district? • When will you share it? (Timeline)
