9. © 2013, KDE and KASA. All rights reserved. Questions to Ask—Your Students  Are there any enduring skills, concepts or processes my students lack overall? What are the biggest areas of need?  What are my students abilities? How have I collected and analyzed the evidence/data to determine patterns, trends, strengths and weaknesses for all my students?  Are the areas of need identified appropriate for a year-long/course-long student growth goal? Think & Plan Tool Questions!

Using Data – Places to begin… Beginning of the year data collected by the teacher Content need identified last year –  Previous year’s assessment data  Program Review data Match to the needs of current students You need to connect your student needs to Enduring Learning 10

23. © 2013, KDE and KASA. All rights reserved. Questions to ask: sources of evidence Do the sources of evidence provide the data required to determine proficiency for the identified area(s) of need? Can the sources of evidence be used to provide baseline data, comparable mid-term data, and end of the year/course data? Think & Plan Tool Questions!

24. © 2013, KDE and KASA. All rights reserved. What MEASURES can you use in your goal? Determined by your district’s Evaluation Plan Single measure – pre/post  Could be rubric, matrix or assessment Multiple measures – combined with a rubric or matrix Multiple data points  Looking at progress over the year with multiple opportunities for students to show proficiency 24 CEP

25. © 2013, KDE and KASA. All rights reserved. Data Contributing to Baseline MAP data (DesCartes Continuum regarding summarization skills) Written summaries Journal entries M/C items where students identify main ideas and supporting details Use multiple sources of evidence to create a baseline. 25 CEP

27. © 2013, KDE and KASA. All rights reserved. NEXT STEP – Deciding Growth and Proficiency Targets By the end of the 2013-14 school year, all of my 4th-grade students (100 percent) will show growth in summarizing key ideas and details in what they read. Each student will improve by two or more levels on the rubric developed by my PLC team for summarization. In addition, 90 percent of students will score proficient or above on the rubric by the end of the year. How did the teacher decide that: students would improve by two or more levels? OR that 90 percent was an appropriate expectation? 27

29. © 2013, KDE and KASA. All rights reserved. Reflection Based on my students’ needs: What enduring learning should be the focus of my goal? What source(s) of evidence will you use to show growth? What does the baseline data show about my students? 29
