Influence on Achievement
Using the barometer to measure student achievement:
Hattie’s “Barometer of Influence”
Medium (1-year)
d=0.15 and d=0.40
Influences in this zone are similar
to what teachers can accomplish
in a typical year of schooling.

Effective Feedback
What does feedback look like at each level?
•
•
•
•
Self - the purpose is to close the instructional gap
•
Examples: “Good girl” or “You’re really great because you have diligently completed

Development will accomplish this mission
through a high level deliberate focus on
creating the following:

performing school district in Florida,
schools are the BEST
sindividual
performing schools within SES Bands, and
 An Embedded High Quality RtI Process
 Optimal Internal/External Relationships
 Scaling Up BEST Practices
there are ZERO schools graded D or F.

(BEST)
 There isn’t one BEST
practice in existence at an
expert level across all
schools in Broward.
 Broward has shining
examples at every
level (student, class,
subject, grade,
school) of BEST
outcomes.
 Collaborative efforts
among principals are
at an all time high.

BEST Practice #1
 All assessed grades & K-2
 All assessed subjects
 Focus on student data to
improve instructional
practice
 Analysis of student work
Curriculum
 What do we want all
students to know?
Assessments
 How will we determine
student mastery?
Remediation
 How will we respond to
students who do not meet
mastery? mastery?
Enrichment
 How will we respond
when students
meet/exceed mastery?

Pre-Cycle PLC’s… Just
Curriculum
 What do we want all students to know during this cycle? How are the Units
of Study influencing this work? How are Item Specifications influencing this
work? How are College & Career Ready Standards influencing this work?
What are some of the BEST instructional strategies to use in order to
maximize student learning?
Assessment
 How will we determine student mastery? Create/Select the assessment
instrument. What percent-correct will define mastery? How soon after
assessment administration will results be reported?
Remediation
 How will we respond to students who do not meet mastery? What process
will be put in place to ensure students receive additional time and support for
learning? How will you ensure this process is timely, precise, diagnostic,
directive, and systemic? How will remedial efforts be measured?
Enrichment
 How will we respond when students meet/exceed mastery? What will be
enriched? When will it be enriched? How will it be enriched? Who will do the
enrichment? How will enrichment efforts be measured?
22
The Cycle
Instruction & Assessment
• Teachers instruct their
students during the
pre-determined time
period
• Teachers administer
their common
assessments consistent
with the agreed upon
time schedule
Data Analysis, Remediation &
Enrichment
•
•
•
•
For each assessed area, school-wide
percent proficient is determined*
Teacher by teacher percent
proficient is determined
Students meeting the predetermined criteria for remediation
receive the pre-determined
remedial interventions
Students meeting the predetermined criteria for enrichment
receive the pre-determined
enrichment interventions
*Recommend 75% used as mastery level… Striving for the BEST
23
Post-Cycle BEST Practice Sharing
• Bring the same groups of like-teachers back together
and view student learning results from the common
assessment
• Compare proficiency rates by teacher
• Discuss instructional strategies that may have
contributed to the variance
• Discuss instructional strategies that may have
contributed to outcomes that were
Beyond Expected Student Targets (BEST)
• Praise teachers for their commitment to this process
and adjust teacher support accordingly for the next
cycle
24
BEST Practice #2



Establish & Ensure an Effective RtI process is in place (Identify Early,
Respond with Interventions & Progress Monitor)
