P4 Man on Fire: • What were the key moments in Creasy’s attempt to help the girl (Pita)? • What made Creasy’s analysis effective? P5 ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS I PART 1—GLOBAL IMPRESSIONS: Global conclusions you can draw from the data: • How well did the class do as a whole? • What are the strengths and weaknesses in the standards: where do we need to work the most? • How did the class do on old vs. new standards? Are they forgetting or improving on old material? • How were the results in the different question types (multiple choice vs. open-ended, reading vs. writing)? • Who are the strong/weak students? P6 ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS II PART 2—DIG IN: • “Squint:” bombed questions—did students all choose same wrong answer? Why or why not? • Compare similar standards: Do results in one influence the other? • Break down each standard: Did they do similarly on every question or were some questions harder? Why? • Sort data by students’ scores: Are there questions that separate proficient / non-proficient students? • Look horizontally by student: Are there any anomalies occurring with certain students? P7 Teacher-Principal Role Play ROLE-PLAY ANALYSIS: • What did you learn about the teachers? • How did the interim assessment and analysis template change the dynamic of a normal teacher/principal conversation? • By using this particular assessment and analysis template, what decisions did the principal make about what was important for the student learning at his/her school? P8 Teacher-Principal Role Play META-ANALYSIS: • What are the strengths and limitations of this approach to data-driven decision making? • What structures are needed to allow such a process to happen?

P29 THE FOUR KEYS: DATA-DRIVEN INSTRUCTION AT ITS ESSENCE: ASSESSMENTS ANALYSIS ACTION in a Data-driven CULTURE P30 1. 50% of 20: 2. 67% of 81: 3. Shawn got 7 correct answers out of 10 possible answers on his science test. What percent of questions did he get correct? 4. J.J. Redick was on pace to set an NCAA record in career free throw percentage. Leading into the NCAA tournament in 2004, he made 97 of 104 free throw attempts. What percentage of free throws did he make? 5. J.J. Redick was on pace to set an NCAA record in career free throw percentage. Leading into the NCAA tournament in 2004, he made 97 of 104 free throw attempts. In the first tournament game, Redick missed his first five free throws. How far did his percentage drop from before the tournament game to right after missing those free throws? 6. J.J. Redick and Chris Paul were competing for the best free-throw shooting percentage. Redick made 94% of his first 103 shots, while Paul made 47 out of 51 shots. • Which one had a better shooting percentage? • In the next game, Redick made only 2 of 10 shots while Paul made 7 of 10 shots. What are their new overall shooting percentages? Who is the better shooter? • Jason argued that if Paul and J.J. each made the next ten shots, their shooting percentages would go up the same amount. Is this true? Why or P31 why not? ASSESSMENT BIG IDEAS: Standards (and objectives) are meaningless until you define how to assess them. Because of this, assessments are the starting point for instruction, not the end. P32 ASSESSMENTS: LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: 1. What is the main idea? 2. This story is mostly about: A. Two boys fighting B. A girl playing in the woods C. Little Red Riding Hood’s adventures with a wolf D. A wolf in the forest 3. This story is mostly about: A. Little Red Riding Hood’s journey through the woods B. The pain of losing your grandmother C. Everything is not always what it seems D. Fear of wolves P33 ASSESSMENTS: Subject-Verb Agreement • He _____________ (run) to the store. • Michael _____________ (be) happy yesterday at the party. • Find the subject-verb agreement mistake in this sentence: • Find the grammar mistake in this sentence: • Find the six grammar and/or punctuation mistakes in this paragraph: P34 ASSESSMENT BIG IDEAS: In an open-ended question, the rubric defines the rigor. In a multiple choice question, the options define the rigor. P35 ASSESSMENTS: 1. Solve the following quadratic equation: x2 x 6 0 2. Give the following rectangle with the lengths shown below, find the value of x: x x 1 Area = 6 P36 ASSESSMENTS: PRINCIPLES FOR EFFECTIVE ASSESSMENTS: COMMON INTERIM: • At least quarterly • Common across all teachers of the same grade level DEFINE THE STANDARDS—ALIGNED TO: • To state test (format, content, & length) • To instructional sequence (curriculum) • To college-ready expectations P37 ASSESSMENTS: PRINICIPLES FOR EFFECTIVE ASSESSMENTS: REASSESSES: • Standards that appear on the first interim assessment appear again on subsequent interim assessments WRONG ANSWERS: • Illuminate misunderstanding TRANSPARENT: • Teachers see the assessments in advance P38 THE FOUR KEYS: DATA-DRIVEN INSTRUCTION AT ITS ESSENCE: ASSESSMENTS (Interim, Aligned, Reassess, Transparent) ANALYSIS ACTION in a Data-driven CULTURE P39 THE FOUR KEYS: DATA-DRIVEN INSTRUCTION AT ITS ESSENCE: ASSESSMENTS (Interim, Aligned, Reassess, Transparent) ANALYSIS ACTION in a Data-driven CULTURE P40 ASSESSMENTS: Reading Decisions LEVELED VS. SKILLS: • Will your interim assessment develop around reading levels or reading skills? P41 Leveled Assessment Debate Grade-Level Assessments PROS: • Predict results on external assessments • Measure student achievement against grade-level standard • Ensure school maintains high standards and expectation that all students will reach grade level Leveled Reading Assessments PROS: • Shows growth along the leveled-text continuum—possible to see monthly gains toward grade-level standard • Because the text is at an accessible level, gives data on individual reading standards • Motivates students and engenders student ownership of learning process • Confirms student reading levels for teachers • Assessment levels correspond to book levels CONS: • If a student is significantly behind in level, offers little information to inform instruction • Difficult to see incremental (monthly or quarterly) reading gains CONS: • Because text is often inaccessible to • Does not predict results on external students, little data can be gathered assessments on strengths and weaknesses by • If not supplemented by grade-level standard assessments, could lower standards • Demoralizing for students to and expectations for the school constantly fail P42 ASSESSMENTS: Writing • RUBRIC: Take a good one, tweak it, and stick with it • ANCHOR PAPERS: Write/acquire model papers for Proficient and Advanced Proficient that will be published throughout the school & used by teachers • GRADING CONSENSUS: Grade MANY student papers together to build consensus around expectations with the rubric • DRAFT WRITING VS. ONE-TIME DEAL: Have a balance P43 ASSESSMENTS: High School • HIGH SCHOOL PROFICIENCY VS. COLLEGE READINESS: Preparing for HS state test and ACT/SAT/AP/college-level work • SOLID SHORT PAPERS VS. RESEARCH PAPER • MATH: Textbook vs. Application vs. Conceptual understanding P44 ASESSMENT ANALYSIS: Exercise • TASK: Compare State assessment with interim assessment • USE ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS SHEET TO ANSWER: • Are they aligned in CONTENT? What is the interim assessment missing? • Are they aligned in FORMAT/LENGTH? • Are they COLLEGE-READY expectations? P45 Case Study: Douglass Street School 1. Did Krista Brown meet the challenge of 15-point gains? What percentage of teachers do you think made the gains? Which teachers did not? Why? 2. Based on your answers, name the biggest stumbling blocks to school’s success. 3. Based on your answers, name the most important drivers of school improvement. P46 TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS: Principal-centered HOW TO EVALUATE TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS: 1. How dynamic the lesson appeared to be 2. How well you control the kids 3. How good the curriculum guide / scope & sequence are (“well-intended fiction”—Jacobs) 4. “What is the real curriculum?” “The textbook.” 5. What the teacher teaches and how “good” their pedagogical choice was P47 DATA-DRIVEN CULTURE: • VISION: Established by leaders and repeated relentless • TRAINED LEADERSHIP TEAM: “real” leaders and formal leaders involved in process • CALENDAR: Calendar in advance with built-in time for assessments, analysis & action • PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Aligned P48 THE FOUR KEYS: ASSESSMENTS (Aligned, Interim, Reassess, Transparent) ANALYSIS ACTION in a Data-driven CULTURE (Vision, Leadership, Calendar, PD) P49 Analysis, Revisited Moving from the “What” to the “Why” P50 Man on Fire: • What made Creasy’s analysis effective? • After a solid analysis, what made Creasy’s action plan effective? P51 ANALYSIS: • IMMEDIATE: Ideal 48 hrs, max 1 wk turnaround • BOTTOM LINE: Includes analysis at question level, standards level and overall—how well did the students do as a whole • TEST-IN-HAND analysis: Teacher & instructional leader together • TEACHER-OWNED analysis • DEEP: Moves beyond “what” to “why” P52 THE FOUR KEYS: ASSESSMENTS (Aligned, Interim, Reassess, Transparent) ANALYSIS (Quick, Bottom line, Teacher-owned, Test-in-hand, Deep) ACTION in a Data-driven CULTURE (Vision, Leadership, Calendar, PD) P53 Running Effective Analysis Meetings P54 PRECURSORS TO EFFECTIVE ANALYSIS MTGS • Did teachers see the assessment in advance? (TRANSPARENCY) • Did they mark it up: Confident, Not Sure, No Way? (TEST-IN-HAND, TEACHER-OWNED) • Did you train teachers in analysis strategies? (PROF DEVT, DEEP) • Did they fill out an analysis sheet? Did they answer the fundamental question: WHY the students did not learn it? (TEACHER-OWNED, DEEP) • Did they have to fill out an action plan? Did you model how to fill out an action plan using these analysis questions? (ACTION PLAN, ACCOUNTABILITY) P55 PRE-CURSORS TO EFFECTIVE ANALYSIS CONT. • Did you model a poor and a good conversation so they hear your expectations? (PROF DEVT, DEEP) • Did you analyze their results (above and beyond them analyzing their own) in preparation for the meeting? (LEADERSHIP) • Did you collect their analysis ahead of time and see if it looked acceptable? (LEADERSHIP, ACCOUNTABILITY) • Did you have a plan ready to access content experts if the problems were beyond your expertise? (PROF DEVT) P56 TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE ANALYSIS MEETINGS: • Let the data do the talking • Let the teacher do the talking (or get them to!) • Always go back to the test and back to specific questions • Don’t fight the battles on ideological lines (you’re going to lose) • There’s a difference between the first assessment and the third • You’ve got to know the data yourself to have an effective meeting • Make sure it’s connected to a concrete plan that you can verify P57 ANALYSIS MEETING HELPFUL PHRASES: HELPFUL STARTERS FOR ANALYSIS MEETINGS: • “So…what’s the data telling you?” • “Congratulations on the improvement from last time in x area! You must be really proud of their growth here.” • “So the _____ [paraphrase their frustration: the test was hard, the students were difficult, etc.]? I’m sorry to hear that. So where should we begin with our action plan moving forward?” P58 ANALYSIS MEETING HELPFUL PHRASES: DATA-FOCUSING FOR ANALYSIS MEETINGS: • “So let’s look at question 18…..Why do you think they got it wrong?” • “You know, I thought it might be a silly mistake, but what surprised me is that they did really well on questions x & y. Why do you think they did so well on these questions and yet not on your original question?” • “Let’s look at question 11. What did the students need to be able to do to answer that question effectively? Is this more than they are able to do with you in your class?” • [When new ideas occur or deeper analysis is done at the meeting than what teacher did previously] “So let’s re-visit the action plan you created and see how we can incorporate these additional ideas.” P59 The Language of Leadership “That’s nice, but tell me again: what’s the point of all this?

What do you do? • YOUR DISTRICT HAS POOR MANDATED INTERIM ASSESSMENTS: Your district has an interim assessment in November and April, and your state test is in June. Not only are the interim assessments too far apart, as you review them you realize that they only cover about half of the standards that will be on the state assessment, and they don’t include any open-ended responses. What do you do? P87 ENTRY SCENARIOS: DEALING WITH CHALLENGING SITUATIONS • JADED LEAD TEACHER: You are working with a team of teachers and do your opening PD with them around datadriven instruction, and the younger teachers seem very interested in working on this. But the oldest teacher on the team (who has a very important influence on everyone else) makes very dismissive comments about how this is a waste of time. You give your one-minute response about the importance of this work, but you can see that the newer teachers’ enthusiasm drops. What do you do? P88 ENTRY SCENARIOS: DEALING WITH CHALLENGING SITUATIONS • ASSESSMENTS ARE UNALIGNED WITH INSTRUCTIONAL SEQUENCE: You notice that the interim assessments in your city are not aligned with the instructional sequence that the teachers are mandated to follow. What do you do? • NO GOOD ANALYSIS: Your district takes too long to produce a data report, and you have no analysis templates to use. What do you do?
