SINA COLLABORATIVE LEARNING WEBINAR: SPECIAL EDUCATION TEAM REPRESENTATIVES AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES CONSULTANTS You should be hearing music at this time. If you are unable to hear, please make sure your sound is turned on. Feel free to call for assistance if you are having difficulty… 641-231-2231. - This webinar will be recorded. WEBINAR NORMS Listen Seek for understanding clarification Engage in collaboration Inquire, ask questions The more the student becomes the teacher and the more the teacher becomes the learner, then the more successful are the outcomes. -John Hattie Where are we in the SINA process? Audit: Collect and analyze data to determine current reality Diagnosis: Complete gap analysis, determine root cause, brainstorm possible solutions/actions, and create KASAB Design: Develop an action plan Implementation: Monitor fidelity of implementation of actions and activities Evaluation: Evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention KEY ATTRIBUTES OF COLLABORATION 1. Collaboration is voluntary 44% 2. Collaboration is based on parity (must believe all individuals’ contributions are valued equally) 3. Collaboration requires a shared goal 4. Collaboration includes shared responsibility for key decisions (divide work and share decision making about the activities they are undertaking) 5. Collaboration includes shared accountability for outcomes (share accountability for the results of the decisions) 6. Collaboration is based on shared resources (individuals make an effort to contribute some type of resource) 7. Collaboration is emergent (emerges as individuals are more experienced at collaboration) 33% 56% 33% Learning Goal • Understand the role of the Special Education Team Representatives and Educational Service Consultants as critical friends in the LEA SINA team meetings. • Understand the basic purpose and the use of effect size. Success Criteria • I can frame questions, make comments and encourage collaboration when working with the LEA SINA team. • I can explain and articulate the basic purpose and use of effect size.

Who will collect these data and when? How will data be shared and with whom? How will the data be analyzed? How often and how will implementation data be compared with formative student achievement data? Determine impact on… IPDM Monitor Student Achievement Monitor Teacher Behavior Structure for Teacher Collaboration Adjust Training and Supports Student Success Teacher Behavior What are students/teachers experiencing? Are students showing learning gains? Should we increase/decrease our use of certain strategies? 2011 AEA 267 What tools are needed to monitor progress? Iowa Professional Development Model Visible Learning: A Synthesis of Over 800 Meta-Analyses Relating to Achievement by John Hattie • represents evidence-based research into what actually works in schools to improve learning Visible Learning for Teachers: Maximizing Impact on Learning by John Hattie • explains how to implement the principles of Visible Learning into the classroom “Know thy impact.” EFFECT SIZE A measure to how effective a treatment or intervention has been. John Hattie recommends to use the effect size to focus on progress. The effect size helps to UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT of teaching over a period in time. EFFECT SIZE greater than 0.40 is seen as above the norm and leading towards a more-thanexpected growth over a year.

EFFECT SIZE = Average (post-test) – Average (pre-test) Spread (standard deviation, or sd) Visible Learning for Teachers: Maximizing Impact on Learning by John Hattie (page 257-260) How do I determine an EFFECT SIZE for individual students? Classroom Formula Effect size = Average (post-test) – Average (pre-test) Spread (standard deviation, or sd) Individual Student Formula Effect size = Individual Score (post-test) – Individual Score (pre-test) Spread (standard deviation, or sd) The easier method of calculating effect size is to use Excel with the above formulas.
