Power Standards and SMART Goals;
Expectations for Assessment and
Data-based Decision-Making.
Presented by:
Ben Ditkowsky, Ph.D.
Waukegan Unit School District 60
Power Standards
• A power standard refers to those few
things that are really important to teach
(Reeves).
– BIG IDEAS (Kame’enui & Carnine)
– Enduring understandings (Wiggins & McTigue)
• The key question here seems simple:
• What is it that we want students to know
and be able to do?
The practical reality of
NCLB
If we are going to be able to
“leave no child behind” the state
standards, then we are going to have
to have a way of determining how far
behind they are, from where we expect
them to be, so that we can do
something to accelerate their
academic growth.
…a way of determining how
far behind they are, from
where we expect them to be
That means we need to use

When we use data we need to FOCUS:
Things to consider
• Entry level skills
– If students come in with less skill than we
expect then we need to get them to learn more
with the same amount of time.
• Efficiency and Effectiveness of Instruction
– Time on task
– Intensity of instruction
• Data-based decision-making
– Frequency of Assessment
– Use of data to drive instructional decisionmaking
Entry Level Skills
More
Skill
Less
Skill
• Typical students have a benefit over low performing
students.
• They come in higher, so they don’t need to gain as
much
• Keep in mind that we need to make sure students
have prerequisite skills
Instruction
More
Skill
Less
Skill
• To make up the difference, instruction should:
– Be focused on the goal
– Maintain student time on-task
– Provide sufficient practice to ensure students have the
opportunity to learn
Assessment
• The more dire the student needs, the
more carefully we should watch their
progress.
• When students are not progressing,
we need to change what they receive
in terms of instruction.
Monitoring progress requires us to pay
attention
• Is the instruction working?
• Is it intense enough?
• Do we need to change what we are
More
doing?
Skill

Skill
Use Assessments from the Curriculum
• To determine when to change instruction

Set Goals, and make them smart!
•• Goals should be
SSpecific and Strategic
•• Goals should be Observable and
M
Measurable
•• Goals should be Acceptable
Action oriented and Attainable
A
•• Goals should be Realistic and
RRelevant
•• Goals should be Trackable and
TTime-bound
How do we know what
goals to set?
Use Power Standards:
What is it that we want students
to be able to DO?
Curriculum-Based Measurement
• Does how quickly a student can
orally read relate to how well
they do on ISAT?
•
Will a 5th grade student who…
– … reads 120 cwpm meet standards?
– What about a student who can read 150
cwpm, will they meet?
Think – Pair -Share
1. Does fluency matter? Yes/No
2. How many words should a student
in your class be able to read in a
minute?
3. Why do you think so?
Does Fluency really
matter?
1. Does it matter? Yes/No
2. How many words should a 5th grade
student read in a minute?
Let’s consider some data…
How many words can
they read in a minute?
• How many correct words did 5th grade
students read in one minute?
• Does the number of words that students can
read in one minute relate to how well they do
Mark read 175 words
on the ISAT?
Dorothy read 225 words
Sarah read 147 words
Kelsey read 120 words
Let’s reorganize things
• Some times we need to change the
way we look at things before we can
FOCUS.

A note about “Scatter – Plots”
Scatter-Plot can help us to see
– How scores from two different tests
relate to each other.
– Where we should set cut-points for
students meeting expectations
– How we can increase student’s
chances to meet ISAT Standards.

What are two reasons why you think
the speed at which our students read
influences their scores on high –
stakes tests?
1.There is time to complete the test.
2. They don’t have to spend time
decoding, instead they can spend
time comprehending.
Let’s consider just the
students who read more than
150 correct words per minute

Place your bets
• If you were going to bet that a student
was going to meet expectations on the
ISAT who would you choose?
– A student who reads 120 cwpm?
• 100% of our sample did not
– A student who reads 130 cwpm?
• 100% of our sample did not
– … 140 cwpm? Or 150 cwpm?
• 77% and 75% of our sample did not
– What about a student who reads more than 150
cwpm?
• 90% of our sample of students reading more than 150
cwpm met State Standards.
– Pick your student.

Should Oral Reading Fluency be a
FOCUS for third grade?
Consider this:
– 92% of 3rd students in the (2 school sample) who read
more than 115 words correctly in one minute met ISAT
standards.
– Fewer than 10% of students who failed to read at a
target rate of 85 cwpm met ISAT standards.
• Make goals S, M, A, R, T
By April 2, 200x, when given a randomly selected
passage from the 3rd grade Harcourt Reading
Series and one minute to read, 90% of 3rd grade
students will orally read 94 words correctly with
95 to 98% accuracy

What should we expect?
• Some variation is expected in oral reading fluency
depending on passage difficulty, but clear targets
are supported:
• Grade 3
– Fall - 60 is cause for concern  80 is a target
– Winter - 75 is cause for concern  100 is a target
– Spring - 90 is cause for concern  115 is a target
• Grade 5
– Fall 95 is cause for concern  130 is a target
– Winter - 125 is cause for concern  145 is a target
– Spring - 140 is cause for concern  155 is a target

• The student is likely to know some of
the key words before you begin.
• As the year progresses, more words
are taught, and more words are
learned

The Plan:
Three Tiers of Intervention
• Defined: A data – driven model for
differentiated instruction for all
students
• Focus on what works
– Scientifically Based Reading Instruction
– In the context of a self – correcting
model of decision-making
• Identifies / verifies need then
organizes support that students need
Three Tiers, with an Emphasis on
Prevention at Each Level
• Tier III (FEW students)
Tertiary Intervention
– Reduce complications, intensity,
severity of current problems
• Tier II (SOME students)
Secondary Intervention
– Reduce current cases of
academic and behavior problems
• Tier I (ALL students)
Primary Intervention
– Reduce new cases of academic
and behavior problems

2004-2005 Meeting
Expectations: In Phonological Awareness
By June 1st 200X, when given a DIBELS Phoneme
Segmentation Fluency Probe, 95% of students will
orally identify more than 10 phonemes per minute
(Emerging phonological awareness or better).
Sixty-percent (60%) of Kindergarten students will
identify 35 or more phonemes per minute
(Established Phonological Awareness).

Leaving No Child Behind
• We agree with the goal of No Child Left Behind
– Safe schools
– Qualified teachers, etc.
– All children reading at grade level
• The practical reality is that while we may not be
able to demonstrate on level results on State
tests, SMART goals will show us which students
need more/different instruction to improve their
rate of progress.
• SMART goals will empower teachers and allow
them to celebrate their success with students.
BIG IDEAS
•

•
•
Determine your power standards
set smart goals
Monitor progress
If it’s not working, or it’s not working well
enough change it
BIG IDEAS
• There are things that we can monitor that can help
us see how we are going to do.
– Whether we are talking about student academic
achievement, appropriate behavior, or diffusion of
innovations – the first step is identifying specifically what we
are going to measure (Power Standards).
• We know that once we have the Basics,
– Some need more to “meet” expectations.
– And it is always nice to exceed.
• We can be reasonably confident when we answer the
question,
“How are we doing?” before answering
“How did we do?”
…and just for fun, how about a
high school example

So what does this tell us?
FINDINGS
The probability of meeting PSAE standards increase by nearly 30%
by increasing from an ACT score of 17 to 18 in Reading; 18 to 19 in
Math; and 19 to 20 in Science. Approximately 90% of students
obtaining a score of 21 met standards regardless of the subject area.
These findings are reliable - Analysis of a data set representing more
than 10,000 11th grade students resulted in nearly identical findings
IMPLICATION
Although this is not causal (i.e., 19 does not cause PASE = Meet), the
dramatic increase in probability does compel us to investigate this
relation.
ACTION Question
Is there something that teachers can do to increase the chances of
students obtaining a score of 18,19,20 (for Reading, Math, Science)
on ACT?
FOCUS
We can use the practice ACT data to drive the focus of instruction!
On which type of item ought we
focus?
• All items were examined and sorted
according to difficulty.
• The raw score equating to 21 was
determined.
• Items were coded as Most difficult,
Difficult, FOCUS and Easiest
Suggestion: Use the actual practice test,
examine the items as a team and with
students to determine why those items
were missed. Don’t teach the test, but do
With which students ought
we
focus
and
on
what?
All scale scores were computed.
•
• Scores were compared with probabilities to
designate the risk status of students
– regarding the likelihood of meeting standards on PSAE
– based on data and a little guessing.
• Scores were sorted by class
– English, Science, Math, unidentified class and
– color-coded.
High Risk
Likely to be on academic warning
Indeterminate Risk
May need to assess further, strategize instruction
Low Risk
Maintain current program
Negligible Risk
Likely to meet PSAE if it were given today
HR
IR
LR
NR
Suggestions
• Use the data to begin to strategize
who needs how much of what.
• The more you analyze the actual test
the more you will be able to assist
your students in being ready for the
concepts that are being tested
