Measuring Success Measures of Success Increase four- and five-year high school graduation rates Increase enrollment and completion rates and decrease remediation rates in post-secondary training and education Aira 9/17/2018 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

Measuring Success Performance Indicators We must help students: Enter kindergarten with expected skills in all six areas identified by the Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (WaKIDS). Meet standard on the 3rd-, 8th-, and 11th-grade statewide English language arts (ELA) and math assessments, and the 8th-grade statewide science assessment. Grow toward proficiency in ELA and math, as determined by Student Growth Percentiles, in 4th and 6th grades. Enroll in Algebra I/Integrated Math I by the end of 8th or 9th grade and earn high school credit. Enroll in college-level courses and earn dual credit. Take the SAT and ACT and earn college-ready scores. Access financial aid for post-secondary learning. Aira 9/17/2018 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

Equal vs Equitable What is the difference between equal and equitable? What ways does your district provide equitable experiences and instruction for your students? How does this relate to assessment? Marissa What's the Difference Between Equal and Equitable poster from VIF International Education | © The Center for International Education. All Rights Reserved.

What About My District Guiding Reflection Questions Review your data. How do your student sub-group populations compare to others? What trends do you notice over time? How do you compare to similar districts? Using the key performance indicators, (such as: 9th Grade Course Failure, Chronic Absenteeism, Discipline), are there any crossover issues? Marissa

Ladder of Inference Impulsive Action Speculation Assumption Fact Let’s revamp our 10th grade Math curriculum Impulsive Action Speculation What if we revamped our 10th grade math curriculum? We obviously don’t have the right focus in our 10th grade Math curriculum Assumption Marissa 70% of our 10th graders scored below proficient on the statewide Math assessment Fact Adapted from the 5th Discipline Fieldbook, Peter Senge, 1994

Essential Elements Transformational Leadership – Vision and relational trust. Planning and actions that engage staff, students, families, and communities Collaborative Inquiry – Practices that engage staff in action research to improve Tiered Support System – Integrated supports for behavior (PBIS), achievement, and social emotional needs Data – Evidence based processes that monitor and connect to supports *Based on conversations with outlier districts with high graduation and attendance rates Marissa

For Further Discussion When you look at your data, what results make you wonder, “hmm…..”? What factors are affecting student performance, and how can your district impact them? What can you do to engage in conversations about these data in your district? Who would you want to share this information with? Who should be part of the conversation? What would you want to learn from other districts that are getting better results? What can you do to learn from another district? What can the ESD do to help districts learn from each other? How can you use these new ways of looking at data to inform your district’s efforts to improve equity? Marissa We leave you with some thoughts about what you might do after you’ve had a chance to explore your own data. We hope that these new ways of looking at your district’s data will give you new opportunities to learn more about the performance of your students, and that it will become a catalyst for conversations in your district, schools, and community. Here are some questions you might consider today, or take back to your districts to dig deeper into the stories your data is telling. We’ll pause to let you read the questions. We’ll conclude with two comments. First, the question, “What factors are affecting student performance, and how can your district impact them?” is easy to ask, but very complex to answer. It could engage people in a continuum of systems-level conversations, from the more profound (e.g., what are your district’s core beliefs and values?) to the eminently practical (e.g., what instructional strategies and materials do we use?). You have to decide how deep you want to go. Second, implicit in these questions is the urgency to learn. We may not have answers for you, but we hope that these resources will invite you to explore the big questions. We leave you today in your regions to begin exploring your data and start the conversation. Thank you for tuning in! OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 9/17/2018
