Norms
 Listen
 Learn
 Share
The SEED Project
 19 schools participating
 Maddock, Underwood, Carrington, Fessenden-Bowdon, Watford City, Ray,
Dunseith, Mohall, Kulm, Devils Lake, Grafton, Park River, Leeds, Billings
County, South Heart, Mott-Regent, Richardton-Taylor, New Town,
Northern Cass,
 Training districts on:
 Building data teams
 Utilizing the SLDS to make decisions
 Practical strategies for teachers to utilize data
 Best-practices from schools for students
 Collaborate across district lines
 Looking for our second phase of schools for the 2014-15 school year
 Must partner with another district in their region
 No charge to participating schools
The ‘Data’ Movement
 Data is not new…the focus on data is new
 We have been using data to inform practice throughout
educational history:
 Student discipline
 Grades
Why the ‘Data’ Movement Can Fail
 Change is not coming…it is here…and it is
continuous
 Failing to create short-term wins
 WIN (What’s Important Now)
Purpose
 The focus must be on moving from good to great
 Get a little better every day
 It is about correction…and then…continuous improvement
 Stockdale Paradox
 ‘Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the
difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts
of your current reality whatever they might be’
Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and
Others Don't (Collins, 2001)

Strategy #3: Differentiation…in 10
Minutes or Less
Power Zone Activity
 Draw what a classroom set up might look like when it is
design
 Things to Consider:
 Can you get anywhere at any time without interrupting
teaching and learning?
 Get ‘there’ without verbal interaction
 Stand next to any student (front, side, and behind)
 Engage in non-teaching tasks without interrupting student
learning
Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA)
 NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests present
students with engaging, age-appropriate content. As a
student responds to questions, the test responds to the
student, adjusting up or down in difficulty.
What Does a Number Mean?
 Look at the data for end of year mean (right side of each
individual table)
 What does a 223 RIT mean (in terms of grade level) for
reading, math, & language usage?
 Reading—10th grade
 Math—5th/6th grade
 Language Usage—11th grade
Activity: Breaking Down the Numbers
 Divide the student list into three equal parts based on RIT
score (achievement)
 Categorize (color code the categories)
 Top group—Above (blue)
 Middle Group—At (yellow)
 Below Group—Below (pink)
Activity: Designing the Lesson
 Objective: Students will read through chapter five
and complete a summary sheet detailing key
concepts from the reading.
 Should assignments be the same for all students?
 Is having the same assignment fair and/or equal?
 What do students in each category know? Need to know?
Activity: Designing the Lesson
 Objective: Students will read through chapter five
and complete a summary sheet detailing key
concepts from the reading.
