Ice Breaker

 On an index card, write down 3 one-digit numbers between 0 and 10.  Form groups of three or four.  Relate something in your life to each of the 3 numbers you wrote down. –For example: If I wrote down #3, #6, #1, I would share that I have 3 children, have been to 6 countries (Canada, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, France) and have the best granddaughter in the world (Elsie Mae)

 Share your numbers and stories with your small group.  You will have 4 minutes to share.

Data Analysis Process

It’s Your Day; It’s Your Way 1.Each school is unique 2.Assign Roles (This is your gift of time) Leader Recorder Time Keeper Presenter Errand Monitor 1.Display data in ways that make sense to your team Graphs, words, charts, etc. (No right way)

Data Analysis Process 1.Observe the data and discuss what you are seeing. Write your data findings on the flip chart in summative statements that include the data Facts Only – I observe that … Look at all subgroups 2.Pose hypotheses Why might the data patterns be occurring? What practices might need to be discussed?

Data Analysis Process

Goals and Targets Refer to goals and targets from school year – using SD-Stars Report Card Data Discuss Did you meet your goals? What data do you have to determine if goals were met?

State’s vision for goals and targets: Goals and targets tied specifically to Indicator #1: Student Achievement Overarching goal: Reduce by half the percentage of students (all subgroups) who score below Proficient on state assessment within six years Annual targets to increase proficiency over six years Goals and targets set separately for math and reading Data from school year baseline for setting goals and targets Future Goals and Targets We will examine your targets when we begin looking at student achievement data

Targets (Example) Overarching goal: Reduce by half the percentage of students (all subgroups) who score below Proficient on state assessment within six years

Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO)

Based on idea of decreasing by half the percent of non- proficient students over 6 years Each district, school, subgroup has their own unique AMOs Help determine exit from Focus/ Priority school status when that time comes Sent early Spring 2013 based on assessment results – this was the baseline Fall 2013 new AMOs will be released in needed cases: –New schools –Now more than 10 students in a subgroup or school

Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO) Utilize Two data sources: –Spreadsheet sent to you from DOE or the one TIE sent you –Report Card Data either from DOE website or SD-STARS Will show example of SD-STARS Have printed Report Card Data from public site

AMO Data: Did we make it?

GAP and Non-GAP

What is a GAP Group? The GAP group is an aggregate count of student groups in South Dakota that have historically experienced achievement gaps. At this time, South Dakota includes the following student groups in its GAP group: Black, Native American, Hispanic, Economically Disadvantaged, Students with Disabilities, and Limited English Proficient.

What is the Non-GAP Group? The Non-GAP group includes all students not in the GAP group. Those scoring proficient or higher in the Non-GAP group would be included in the student achievement calculation. (Non-GAP: WHITE, ASIAN, & HAWAIIAN/PACIFIC) Under the proposed system, the minimum N-size will be 10 for each group. Using an aggregated GAP group means almost every school in the state will have a focus on students in GAP groups. Individual subgroups of students will still be disaggregated and reported, but not used for computing the total points for the student achievement indicator.

AMO Data: Did we make it? Dark orange is baseline data (from ) Blue line is your AMO – target for assessment Light orange line – how your kids scored Goals and Targets will be based on AMO moving forward

The Item Count varies because each Form (A, B, C, D) had a different number of field test items that measured the CCSS. Form Athere may be 5 items aligned to the CCSS standard Form Bmay have 7 items aligned to that standard Form C9 items Form D 6 item Hence, the reason for item ranges from 5-9 items assessing RI-CS These Item Counts include the D-STEP items that were also aligned to the CCSS.

CCSS – Data Please be very careful when making decisions concerning these standards – especially when making curriculum decisions around this data. Any standard that has less than 7 items (item count), you need to be careful with what kinds of decisions are being made.

Local Assessment Data

Local Assessment Data Purpose: Local assessment data can be used to show student growth throughout the year and to help guide instruction. Guiding Questions: How do our students perform on local assessments? How does this compare to the results from the state assessment?

We have been a “Blooms” state Blooms Taxonomy describes the type of thinking Moving to a “Webb Leveling” state Depth of which we expect students to demonstrate understanding of the content Webb’s describes complexity of both the content and the task required Use, Acquire, Extend Smarter Balanced Assessment

SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium SMARTER Balanced released a draft document outlining the content specifications that are intended to ensure that the assessment system accurately assesses the full range of the standards (including the Practice Standards). Include a variety of question types: selected response, short constructed response, extended constructed response, technology enhanced, and performance tasks

Assessment in 2014 will be based on Webb Leveling Computer generated test Results available in two weeks (for MC) Leveled Type of assessment questions South Dakota gets same vote as California Technology specs Grades: 3-8 and 11 Smarter Balanced Assessment
