How Are We Doing? What Do We Need To Know? 1.What percent of students achieved literacy goals (met targets)? 2.What percent of students are making adequate progress toward achieving literacy goals? Is our system of support effective enough to get students on track and to keep them there? How effective is our core (benchmark) support?

How Are We Doing? Question #1: What percent of students achieved literacy goals (met target)? What percent of students were established in winter on ORF? Mazes? What percent of students are established in spring on ORF? Mazes?

Where Do We Find Percent of Students at Benchmark, Strategic, or Intensive Levels? Use the Achievement % Report

Summary of Impact

How Effective Is Our Benchmark Instruction? What was the average weekly gain in WCPM for established level students? What percent of established level students stayed at benchmark?

Summary of Impact

Summary of Impact: Average Weekly Gain (Average Score for Spring minus Average Score for Winter) ÷ 18 weeks = Average weekly gain per semester (Sp - W) ÷ 18 ( ) ÷ 18 Use 50 th %ile for benchmark and compare to Growth Table’s typical rate of improvement (ROI) Circle + for above, - for below 50 th %ile W Sp

Summary of Impact: Percents Percents of students remaining at benchmark

How Effective Is Our Strategic Instruction? What was the average weekly gain in WCPM for emerging level students? What percent of emerging level students moved to benchmark?

Summary of Impact

Summary of Impact: Average Weekly Gain (Average Score for Spring minus Average Score for Winter) ÷ 18 weeks = Average weekly gain per semester (Sp - W) ÷ 18 ( ) ÷ 18 Using 25 th %ile for strategic, compare to Growth Table’s typical rate of improvement (ROI). Circle + for above, - for below 25 th %ile W Sp

Summary of Impact: Percents Percent of students moving from strategic to benchmark

How Effective Is Our Intensive Instruction? What was the average weekly gain in WCPM for deficit level students? What percent of deficit level students moved to strategic or benchmark?

Summary of Impact

Summary of Impact: Average Weekly Gain (Average Score for Spring minus Average Score for Winter) ÷ 18 weeks = Average weekly gain per semester (Sp - W) ÷ 18 ( ) ÷ 18 Using 10 th %ile for intensive, compare to Growth Table’s typical rate of improvement (ROI). Circle + for above, - for below 10 th %ile W Sp

Summary of Impact: Percents Percent of students moving from intensive to benchmark

Steps for Determining Adequate Progress of Deficit Level Students Find spring cut score for strategic level from the MiBLSi Preliminary Benchmark Goals for Grades 5-8 sheet Look at students listed in Intensive Support column on Summary of Impact Report and make an X next to the names of students who score at or above the spring cut score for strategic level Add number of Xs to number of  s on the report to determine the number of students making adequate progress (moving from intensive to either strategic or benchmark) Divide the sum of Xs and  s by the total number of intensive students. Multiply by 100 [(Xs +  s) ÷ Total] x 100 = %

Steps for Determining Adequate Progress of Deficit Level Students [( Xs +  s) ÷ Total] x 100 = % [( 3 + 0) ÷ 10] x 100 = 30% x x

Schoolwide Implementation Features Goals, Objectives, Priorities Assessment Instructional Program and Materials Instructional Time Differentiated Instruction/Grouping/Scheduling Administration/Organization/Communication Professional Development

Schoolwide Examples Instructional Time Students receive one hour of reading instruction daily –Explicit instruction in vocabulary, comprehension, fluency Additional time is allocated for struggling students

Schoolwide Examples (con’t.) Differentiated Instruction Flexible homogenous groups based on student performance Group size, time allotted, and instructional materials are based on student performance data

Schoolwide Examples (con’t.) Administration, Organization, and Communication –Leadership maintains a focus on high-quality instruction, organizing and allocating resources to support reading instruction –Create an organized plan to deliver Scientifically-Based Reading practices Grade/Content level teams Monthly leadership meetings

Action Plan Progress Monitoring In the fall we developed an action plan with –Two measurable goals specifying where we wanted to be by spring –Activities needed to achieve those goals In winter data review we made mid-year adjustments and added one additional goal to the Action Plan (Vocabulary) The year is almost over…How did we do?…

Where Can We Use What We’ve Done Today? A Look to the Future… Staff meetings to share with fellow teachers Board meetings to update them on the outcomes and preliminary planning for the summer and next year Curriculum committee or board when data suggests specific issues for which the school lacks instructional materials that have SBRR Basis for Fall Action Plan Needs assessment for SBRR professional development Needs assessment for grant opportunities
