Integrated Systems Model (ISM/OISM) Updates for District Leaders

Today we will learn about… 1.How the integrated systems work continues in the New Region 13 context 2.High relevance of integrated systems work under NCLB - school improvement guidance 3.Partnerships with SERRC/SST and DLT stipends - planning the year 4.Where RTI fits in the system 5.Data in support of the systems work 6.Relevance of the DLT for sustainability, capacity building and consistency of excellence 7.State improvement framework which matches CSP in ISM

Breadth and Depth of the Integrated Systems Model Work National, State, and Regional Context

The Big Picture Schools in at least 26 states in the country are implementing a three-tiered model of academic and behavior supports By implementing the Integrated Systems Model in your district, you join over 225 districts in Ohio engaged in this important and exciting work

Connection to RtI What is RtI? RtI is the practice of providing high-quality instruction/intervention matched to student needs and using learning rate over time and level of performance to make important educational decisions. –NASDSE

ISM and RtI: Key Components Three-tiered model of service delivery Use of a collaborative problem-solving process Use of academic and behavior data systems for making instructional decisions at each tier Strong, research-based core academic and behavior curricula, instructional practices and interventions Adapted from NASDSE

Legal Support for RtI and the Integrated Systems Model IDEA 2004 Use of scientifically based instructional practices Response to these practices in eligibility determination Whole-school approaches to prevention and intervention Scientifically-based early reading programs Positive behavioral supports Early intervening services NCLB Research-based instruction and intervention Reading instruction that includes: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension

Integrated Systems Model Outcome Data: State

Spread of Implementation 431 buildings implementing 137 supported through SIG 645 PBS 570 Academic 779 working on some elements 226 Districts involved in some level

Spread of Implementation 11 IHE Grants for teacher preparation 9 Ohio Universities certified to train school psychologists have adopted the model All intern school psychologists are evaluated based on performance related to the 3-tiered framework Urban, Suburban & Rural Schools Elementary, Middle and High Schools

Depth of Implementation within Buildings Implementation Evaluation Tool (IET) Direct assessment of implementation in a state-wide sample of buildings –13 in Phase 1 –20 in Phase 2 –20 in Phase 3

Integrated Systems Model Outcome Data: Region

Preliminary Results in Reading Grade 3 students in High Implementing schools show higher levels of reading achievement relative to Low Implementing schools High Implementation is positively correlated with multiple measures of reading achievement including the Ohio Achievement Test

Regional Data: Improving PSF in Kindergarten to

DIBELS Data Over Time in Southwest Ohio GRADE K43% on PSF88% on PSF 1st63% on ORF70% on ORF

Preliminary Results in Behavior High Implementing schools have lower discipline rates than Low Implementing schools High Implementing Schools have a smaller gap in discipline rates across the NCLB subgroups

Continuation and Sustainability Hundreds of buildings across the state are continuing and furthering their implementation efforts this year These efforts were supported with State Improvement Grant (SIG) funding With implementation well underway, the State Personnel Development Grant (SPDG) focuses resources at supporting district leadership to forward and sustain the work of the Integrated Systems Model

District Success Activity What are your district’s successes?

Sustainable School Improvement Requires Systems Change

(1) Identify Needs Identify biggest problems for improved student achievement Tools - Decision Framework, Measure Up (4) Monitoring Focused Plan Ensure accurate implementation and effectiveness of plan Review local and state data Conduct mini diagnostic Review use & allocation Of available re- sources Tools - Measure Up, D3A2 (3) Implement Focused Plan to Improve Student Achievement Engage in targeted PD Receive technical assistance from credentialed providers Use and allocate available resources Tools - D3A2 PD; state standards: PD, admin., teaching profession (2) Develop Focused Plan (CCIP) Identify goals & strategies for improved student achievement What do research and data say? What resources are available? Tools - CCIP, D3A2 Ohio’s Improvement Framework

School improvement is the goal- designing effective educational systems so that All students are successful ISM, RTI, and the Ohio Improvement framework are school improvement efforts Full implementation of IDEIA and NCLB requires a coordinated school improvement process

The goal of ISM is to raise the achievement of all students and close achievement gaps. The Integrated Systems Model for Academic and Behavior Educational Practices is a comprehensive school-wide PREVENTION & intervention model that provides support systems which address both academic and behavioral needs of ALL students

Data-based Decision Making

Schools and school systems that are predicated on continuous improvement and responsiveness to the changing needs of new generations of students work to deepen their understandings of race, class, gender, language, culture, and democracy and develop practices that promote the success of all students. NCCREST Position Statement 2005

Using assessment data to prevent failure Using formative data within the ISM assists us with designing culturally responsive preventative and intervention systems of support so that we can increase the academic performance of ALL students

The Big Questions of Systems Level Assessment Is our system working? For whom is our system not working? In what areas is our system exhibiting performance gaps?

www. swis.org Main Menu Select Reports - School Ethnicity Report

Ethnicity Reports Key Questions –What proportion of enrolled students in school are from each ethnicity? –What proportion of referrals are contributed from students in each ethnicity? –What proportion of students with at least one referral are from each ethnicity? –What proportion of students within each ethnicity have received at least one office discipline referral?

Figure 1: (a) % of students enrolled, (b) % of ODRs by ethnicity

Using Disaggregated DIBELS Reports These reports provide a way for you to examine your data to determine if current instruction is meeting the needs of ALL students or if there are gaps in achievement between various groups of students Reports can be generated by: –Race/ethnicity –Gender –Free/reduced lunch –Special education –Special education disability category –DIBELS Accomodations

Demographics Breakdown

Disaggregated Reports

DIBELS and OAT Data From Ohio State Improvement Grant Evaluation (2007) data: DIBELS data significantly predict spring OAT scores (Grades 3-6; predicts 93-98% of variance in scores) Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) benchmarks highly accurate in predicting OAT proficiency –ORF at risk status – 25% proficient on OAT –ORF low risk status – 90% proficient on OAT
