Goal Alignment using PDSA process

GOAL PROCESS Action Research Deployment Team PDSA SIP SMART Goal Math Computation During the 2006-2007 school year, the percentage of students scoring in the high and intermediate math total proficiency levels will increase by 5% as measured by the district math assessments and ITBS.

What Are SMART GOALS? M easurable A ttainable R esults-oriented S pecific, strategic M easurable A ttainable R esults-oriented T ime-bound

Why SMART Goals? Clear & Understandable Vision of the Target Targets as SMART goals. SMART goals direct our “focus” SMART goals help define exactly what the “future state” looks like and how it will be measured. Mountain is an Education Consultant

How To Write SMART Goals School SIP Goals Identify the “big, critical-few” goals that need to be worked on (The Most Important Ones!) Consult the data! What are the greatest areas in need of improvement? Dig deep and get specific (disaggregate!)

ITBS Language Total Scores This data shows “the big picture” of language proficiency …

This data “digs deeper” through sub test areas of language skills…

This data “digs deeper through disaggregation ” of student subgroup population proficiency …

Subgroups: African American American Indian IEP Low Income

SMART Goal Conclusion… During the 2006-07 school year, SAMPLE school will increase students’ proficiency in vocabulary skills in the non-proficient student subgroups as measured by the ITBS vocabulary sub test assessment (See targets below for each non-proficient sub group) Subgroup 05-06 Actual 06-07 Target African American 52.4% 57.4% American Indian 50% 55% IEP 0% 20% Free & Reduced 58.7% 64%

What SMART Goal would you suggest for this problem? During the 07-08 school year, Sample school will implement school wide RESPECT strategies as measured by a 10% decline in respect discipline referrals.

During the 2006-07 school year, Sample School will increase the respect shown by students as measured by a 15% reduction in office referrals due to “disrespect.” During the 2006-07 school year, Sample School will increase the respect shown by students. We will work on reducing office referrals.

Let’s Try It Students will show one year’s growth in Language Total as measured by ITBS. SMART Format: During the 2007-08 school year, all students will improve their reading comprehension as measured by a 1.0 year gain in national grade equivalent from the 2006-07 ITBS Reading Comprehension sub-test.

95% of all 11th graders receiving f/r lunch will score above the 40th NPR on ITEDs. (increase from 80%) SMART Format: During the 2007-08 school year, proficient 11th grade students in the f/r subgroup (as indicated by the ITED math concepts & problem solving) at Sample School will increase by 10% as measured by the ITED math concepts & problem solving subtest.

Goal Alignment using PDSA process

School SIP Goal SMART Goal = Writing Skills Students will meet or exceed the district writing expectations as measured by the six-traits writing sample scoring. SMART Goal = Writing Skills During the 2006-07 school year, the number of first through fifth grade regular education students at Sample School improving their writing skills in targeted traits will increase 10% at each grade level (see chart) as measured by the Six-Traits scoring rubric monthly grade level assessments.

Data - Targets During the 2006-07 school year, the number of first through fifth grade regular education students at Sample School improving their writing skills in targeted traits will increase 10% at each grade level (see chart below) as measured by the Six-Traits scoring rubric monthly grade level assessments

Student Data Folder Writing In-Process Measure Students also have a separate writing folder printed with the six-traits rubric and a rubric for their area of focus. Weekly writing samples are filed in the folder as well as the monthly assessment.
