Step-by-Step

MMD Data: CWIS and SAPP

Step by Step: Page 20 https://youtu.be/55Nc8nccPa0 implementation must be observed and monitored in order to see change of practice.  I do want to talk about how observing and monotring for progress and a shift in practice is also part of the MMD.  Just like surgeons had to do when the death rate was too high.  First we talked about how the DLT must provide crystal clear direction to all participants in their district. They must tell the future story and focus on scripting the critical moves and pointing to the destination. We then talked about having the right ingredients to make the recipe for the MMD framework. Now, we must monitor, analyze and share about implementation. This session is focused on a step by step guide and using an implementation checklist. By using a checklist we ensure that all data can showcase strengths and opportunities and the necessary professional development and coaching is delivered to support the system. How we monitor that professional development and coaching of practices is through walk-throughs, observation of implementation, and monitoring fidelity. What better way to do that than through checklists? Step by Step: Page 20

District leaders review district-level and building-level instruction and learning outcomes data and provide support based on data. Review Data (District-level, Building-level, and learning outcomes) Provide support based on what the data days. Organize a central location/system for data (both outcome and monitoring) to be accessed Monitor fidelity and implementation Identify shifts in practice and share Ensure the CWIS and SAPP is administered Analyze and share the CWIS and SAPP data Use the results to create or revise action steps (remember Essential Function #1?) Critical action steps need to be monitored for fidelity. There needs to be a schedule that allows for this to happen. The schedule for monitoring of implementation take the form of the practice profiles, walkthrough tools, and even coaching.

Implementation Checklist : Essential Function #3 District leaders review district-level and building-level instruction and learning outcomes data and provide support based on data. Support the use of MMD Data to inform professional development and building-level support. Develop and implement protocols for conducting walk-throughs, observing implementation, and monitoring fidelity and progress toward full implementation of MMD practices across the districts. Annually, summarize district-wide fidelity and progress toward full implementation of MMD practices. Establish districts and building-level goal(s) and Benchmark (s), performance levels on the SAPP and CWIS. Revisit and revise PD plans based on MMD Data.

Essential Function #3: District leaders review district-level and building-level instruction and learning outcomes data and provide support based on data. To Do: Complete Implementation Checklist Individually Make notes, questions, and ideas on the Checklist Sharing: What are the decision making processes and schedule for MMD data? For MMD practices (i.e DACL), Do you know– What are you looking for, how will you look for it, and how will you know if you have found it? In thinking about how you would describe your MMD Data processes and decision making to another stakeholder, what would you say?

Elevator Speech - Revise What would you tell another stakeholder (parent, staff, community, school board): What is the MMD, why are we doing it, and what are the benefits? (Hint hint: collaborative culture and climate, training and coaching to support data-driven instructional practices, identify shifts in practice through data, and alignment of expectations).

Develop timelines and expectations aligning MMD goals and other district initiatives. Align MMD goals with CSIP: Comprehensive School Improvement Plan.

Essential Function #4: District leaders align expectations and requirements across the district in order to improve efficiency, consistency, and effectiveness of instruction. To Do: Complete Implementation Checklist Individually Make notes, questions, and ideas on the Checklist How do current district initiatives align with MMD? Are there any duplications that could be eliminated? In thinking about how you would describe the alignment of district initiatives to another stakeholder, what would you say?

Elevator Speech - Polish What would you tell another stakeholder (parent, staff, community, school board): What is the MMD, why are we doing it, and what are the benefits? (Hint hint: collaborative culture and climate, training and coaching to support data-driven instructional practices, identify shifts in practice through data, and alignment of expectations).

Case Study

Case Study Context Each building has grade-level data teams in place District with: Nine elementary buildings, two middle schools and one high school Each building has grade-level data teams in place District has instructional coaches: 2 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school Administered CWIS in the Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 Administered SAPP three times a year on focus areas (ACL, CFA, and DBDM)

Elementary School Case Study Problem How do we use MMD Data with the other data we are already collecting (common formative assessment and benchmark data) to determine effectiveness of implementation? How do we use the aligned data process to drive instruction, professional development, and coaching?

Case Study Process 1. Three times a year, each data team meets with the Instructional Coach and CST members. 2. Using the MMD Data Analysis sheet, each team reviews the results of the CWIS and SAPP. Each team lists side-by-side the observed strengths and opportunities identified in the data. 3. Using the same MMD Data Analysis sheet, each team reviews recent CFA data. Teams list out observed strengths and opportunities side-by-side with the CWIS and SAPP data.

Case Study Process 4. By laying out the strengths and opportunities for each data point, teams could start to generate a hypothesis. 5. On chart paper, teams list out possible hypothesis for the data. Teams accepted or rejected the hypothesis based on data.

One Data Team Example: 3rd Grade Identified as Opportunities: 3.R.2.A.a: Students will be able to read, infer, analyze, and draw conclusions to paraphrase the big idea/themes and supporting details of texts. SAPP: Educators establish clear and measurable student success criteria in a rubric, scoring guide or rubric. CWIS: Each student reviews the results of common formative assessments with teachers. Hypothesis: If students have support and clear direction for identifying the big ideas and supporting details of a text, then they will be successful

Instructional Action Steps Ensure consistency and common understanding in the academic language used in rubrics with lessons and materials. By including an advanced organizer for drawing conclusions as part of the success criteria identified in the scoring guide, students will be supported through the process to identify supporting details throughout the text reading. Rubrics will be reviewed with students to determine where student is at, where they need to go, and how they are going to get there.
