FOR RTI MODULE 5 Teacher Data Teams
What is a Teacher Data Team? • Data Teams are collaborative teams designed to improve teaching, learning and leadership. • Laura Besser • Data teams are the single best way to help educators and administrators move from ‘drowning in data’ to using information to make better instructional decisions. • Doug Reeves
Why Use Teacher Data Teams? • It is what teachers and leaders do that matters the most • Schools get better outcomes when they focus and learn from that focus • 90 % minority • 90 % poverty • 90 % at or above proficiency, On Grade Level Standards
A Constant:Our job description • What do students need to know and be able to do? Standards • How will we teach this?Instruction – adult behavior • How will we know if they have learned it? student behavior - assessments and ‘look-fors’ in student work/learning • What will we do if they already know it or don’t learn it? differentiate, intervene
Our Goal: To Increase Student Learning How do we do this? By improving instruction! There are two components to improving instruction: What (Standards) How (Good teaching)

A Moment to ReflectThink about your Teacher Data Teams this year. How can you deepen your implementation?
Setting “FOCUS” Standards in Writing • “FOCUS” on standards, K-6 • Met with each grade level • Reviewed writing standards • Determined which standards would be the ‘focus’ (approximately 5-7) • Charted and displayed focus standards to show continuum
Setting “FOCUS” Standards in Writing • Purpose • Define areas of emphasis • Provide seamless progression from one grade to the next • Recognize grade-level focus, resulting in a school-wide response
Where Do We Start? • Introduction to Data Team Process • Team Developed Norms • Roles of all members • Scheduling • Minutes • Agenda

Step 1: Collect and Chart Data Leadership and Learning Center Data Teams Summit; Beach, FL February, 2011Clearwater
Step 2: Analyze Strengths and Obstacles • For each proficiency area: - Identify things WE can influence and do something about - Determine why - Determine strengths across all proficiency areas - Determine and identify needs and misconceptions across all groups Leadership and Learning Center Data Teams Summit; Beach, FL February, 2011Clearwater
Step 3: Establish, Review, or revisit SMART GOAL • The percentage of ______ (grade) _________ (content area) students scoring proficient or higher will increase from ______ (baseline) to _________ (target goal) by _______ (date) as measured by ________ (assessment) given on ________ (date). Leadership and Learning Center Data Teams Summit; Beach, FL February, 2011Clearwater
Step 4: Determine Instructional Strategies • What specific strategies are going to be used to address the identified needs (from Step 2) • Link instructional strategies to specific needs for each performance group (differentiate) • Describe who, what, when, how long, etc. • Prioritize Leadership and Learning Center Data Teams Summit; Beach, FL February, 2011Clearwater
5. Determine Results Indicators For each instructional strategy planned, ask, When this strategy is implemented successfully, what will the adult behavior look like? What will the students be doing? What are the ‘look-fors’ in the student work? (Evidence that it is working) Leadership and Learning Center Data Teams Summit; Beach, FL February, 2011Clearwater
Post-Test Analysis TDT • How did we do? • Did we meet our goal? • What are we going to do for the students who are still not proficient? (Tier 2/3 Intervention) • How are we going to maintain proficient students while we move on through the next instructional standards?
