SCAN Evaluation & Research Plan

Key Data Systems – External Evaluator
 Multiple
assessments
 Student
surveys, Teacher surveys, observations, notebook
studies, teacher content assessments, student content
assessments (INSPECT), & CSTs

Data is used to inform our Professional Development
Practices
Assessment Results to Date

Summer Institute Survey (Qualitative Data-KDS)


Over 85% answered “A Lot” to being inspired, gaining new techniques and gaining
new knowledge97% answered very or extremely to how valuable the information
that they learned at the training
Walk-through observations
 High level of implementation
 Teachers in “learning phase” of incorporating practices
Analysis of Assessments

Progress is expected and on track

24 hrs Follow-Up Training provides continued support

2 Week Set-Up for Success establishes foundation for effective use of
classroom practices

Learning Curve expected during early implementation:

Shifting paradigms: teaching practices will enhance classroom success

Integration of Notebooks & Journals practices

Students, parents, administration, district personnel, etc.
Supporting your SCAN Teacher
