8 Review grade-level actions on the School Action Plan. Report on Progress (due June 26th)

Oregon Reading First (2009)9 Review Spring DIBELS benchmark data: 1.Review student scores and aimline progress.

Oregon Reading First (2009)10 Review Spring DIBELS benchmark data: 2.Analyze error patterns and/or word reading strategies from individual DIBELS booklets (e.g., NWF Performance Pattern Table or ORF General Performance Pattern Table).

Oregon Reading First (2009)11 Review Spring DIBELS benchmark data: Review Outcomes (Table 1) for K-5 students during spring of last year and compare to spring of this year.

Oregon Reading First (2009)12 Remember that our BOTTOM LINE consideration is the percent of students that are reaching benchmark. Sometimes schools that are in the upper quartile of the adequate progress range still have room for improvement in the number of students they are supporting to achieve the benchmark!

That’s good! However, only about 40% of our students are meeting the goal, so we have room to improve. The percent of students at risk has decreased, which is good. However, 36% of the students are still at-risk…that’s more than one third of the students.

Oregon Reading First (2009)14 Review Spring DIBELS benchmark data: 4. Evaluate winter to spring grade level instructional support plans (Table 2) by calculating the percent of students making adequate progress toward DIBELS benchmark goals. Table 2.

Use caution when interpreting percentages for systems that only have a few students. For example, 90% of 5 students and 90% of 30 students should lead to different interpretations. Overall we increased the percent of students who made adequate progress a little bit. The total for the grade level is in the middle quartiles compared to other schools in the state using DIBELS. Our challenge is that less than half of our students made adequate progress. How can we make changes to improve the system next year. Let’s look at the systems within the grade to see where we should prioritize. None of the students in the intensive range moved to some risk or low risk on the benchmark goal. This system was in the bottom quartile. We have fewer students in the intensive range (23 vs. 45) but this is a system that needs support. Let’s make this a priority.

The information can be used to identify systems (i.e., benchmark, strategic, or intensive) that are healthy or that need changes. Use caution when interpreting percentages for systems that only have a few students. For example, 90% of 5 students and 90% of 30 students should lead to different interpretations. Almost the same percent of students made adequate progress in the strategic system this year compared to last year. This system is in the middle quartile. About one quarter of our strategic students made adequate progress Winter to Spring. We could have more. Let’s make this system a priority. Almost all of the students in the benchmark range made adequate progress this year and last year. Only two students did not. Let’s take a look at those students’ data. Depending on that information, we may decide to prioritize this system. After looking at the data, one student was absent for 3 months due to illness. The other student missed the cut-off by 1 point. Let’s not prioritize this system right now.

Oregon Reading First (2009)20 5.Did you meet the formative goals set on the Literacy Plan? Review Spring DIBELS benchmark data: An Example of K-1 goals from a School Literacy Plan... School-Level Goals for Overall Improvement: Kindergarten: 90 percent of kindergarten students will reach or exceed the kindergarten spring 2008 NWF DIBELS progressive benchmark. This is an 8 percent increase from spring of st grade: 60 percent of first grade students will reach or exceed the spring DIBELS ORF benchmark goal of 40 correct words per minute. This is a 21 percent increase from to spring Discuss...

Oregon Reading First (2009)21 6.Write new formative goals for the Literacy Plan based on the Spring Outcomes (Table 1). Review Spring DIBELS benchmark data:

Oregon Reading First (2009)22 Move DIBELS data cards on the Wall Chart according to Spring DIBELS instructional recommendation.

Oregon Reading First (2009)23 Identify any groups that did not meet benchmark goals, assessment criteria, and/or projected lesson pacing. Brainstorm possible group system changes or instructional strategies that could address interferences/problems (use the Planning Worksheet). Where do changes need to be made? What changes will you make?

Oregon Reading First (2009)26 Modify Instructional Focus Group Plans/CSI Maps for any groups that did not meet assessment mastery criteria, and/or did not meeting projected lesson pacing progress.

Oregon Reading First (2009)27 Write 2-3 measurable, high priority Grade Level Actions that will address any identified areas of concern for the School Action Plan.

Step 1. Review spring reading outcomes for K-3 students. Discuss as a team: Has the percentage of students established on each measure increased? Has the percentage of students at deficit on each measure decreased? Table 1 Reviewing Outcomes for K-5 Students Spring Last Year and Comparing to Spring Outcomes This Year Note: This table shows the percent of students that met the important end of year reading goals for the purpose of reviewing outcomes.

Step 2: Evaluate the health of the Winter to Spring support systems for grades K-3. Discuss the percentage and number of students in each grade level system that are making adequate progress. Table 2: Evaluating Winter to Spring Instructional Support Plans: Percent of Students Making Adequate Progress Towards DIBELS Benchmark Goals Note: This table shows the percent of students who made adequate progress. The information can be used to identify systems (i.e. benchmark, strategic, or intensive) that are healthy or that need changes. Use caution when interpreting percentages for systems that only have a few students. For example, 90% of 5 students and 90% of 30 students should lead to different interpretations.

Oregon Reading First (2009)33 Step 3: Based on Tables 1 and 2, list the systems, across grade-level (K-3 or K-5) data, that are of highest priority. Step 4: Review grade level teams’ identified new grade level actions. Step 5: The ERT team should consider whether any systems, other than those identified in grade level teams, are in need of support. If so, identify questions and suggested actions. Step 6: Based on team consensus, prioritize actions that will have a significant impact on student achievement. Use this information to develop your action plan.

Oregon Reading First (2009) Action Plan School: _____________________ Column Hint: Refer to GLT Table 3 for Roman numerals that reference schoolwide element from Healthy Systems Checklist. List that element in this column. Column Hint: Possible examples include “ All 2 nd graders ”, “ All 2 nd graders in HM ”, “ All 2 nd graders within ten words of the benchmark ”, “ The 2 nd graders in the Reading Mastery Bluebirds group. ” Column Hint: Actions should not be a continuation of already established practices. Instead, the action plan is intended to highlight the new practices that will be implemented during the coming year to improve student outcomes. If the ERT team would like to ensure that certain current practices are continued, considering adding a _______________(e.g., John Henry Elementary) School Expectations document to the end of your action plan.
