2. Multiple Organizations
Three Ways to Apply SPM
The Entire

Multiple Organizations
A Branch
or Strand

3. SPM Implementation Process
SEA, LEA, or School

4. Four Modules in Implementing SPM
Set the Direction
Vision, Mission, Values, Goals, Strategies
Performance Measures – Indicators, Data Sources, Baseline Data, Targets
Operationalize the Direction
Connection to Purpose and Direction
Coordination and Collaboration
Design Actionable Work
Milestones and Action Plans
Collaborative Teams
Implement Performance and Innovation Cycle
Implementation data and feedback Adjustment and Innovation
Adjustment and innovation

6. A Strategic Performance Network

7. Domain-based Practices
Framework presents effective practices that resulted in rapid school turnaround.
A Needs Assessment identifies strengths, weaknesses and root causes in each domain.

8. Selecting Effective Practices
Needs Assessment informs selection of domain-based effective practices
NIRN’s Hexagon Tool informs selection of practices via 6 broad factors
Need
Fit
Resources
Evidence
Capacity
Readiness

9. Creating and Implementing a System
A Strategic Performance NETWORK
Facilitates each organization’s (SEA, LEA, schools) self-determined, aspirational pursuit of more effective education .
Creates: (1) a structure of common data elements and coded categories (Domains/practices) and (2) routine reporting cycles that enable a collaborative and supportive system.

10. Goal-aligned Strategies
Each strategy is written as a mini-Theory of Action
(sound familiar?) aligned to a domain-based practice (coded category).
If we…
then…
and …
A strategy adopted from a domain-based practice (coded category) the SEA wants to implement in pursuit of student-focused goal
Short-term impact on districts, schools, or educators
as a result of implementing the strategy
Long-term impact on the students – refers back to a student-focused goal

11. Strategy Student-focused Goal: Strategy (1 of several):
Each student will meet or exceed their growth
targets along the pathway to graduate prepared
for post-secondary study and employment.
Strategy (1 of several):
IF the SEA ………………………………..…………, THEN LEAs or schools will ……………………….. AND each student will meet or exceed their
growth targets along the pathway to graduate prepared
Domain-based effective practice
Result for students-student focused goals
Impact on LEAs or Schools
Goal performance measure
Strategy Performance Measure

12. Performance Measures
Goal Performance Measures indicate progress on moving closer to realizing our goals.
Percentage of students who meet or exceed their growth targets

13. Performance Measures
Strategy Performance Measures focus on the “then” portion of the statement. It measures the direct impact of implementing the effective practice.
If we provide professional learning and supports on student personal competencies, then teachers will provide opportunities for students to develop and apply personal competencies to enhance their learning, and students will meet or exceed their growth targets.

14. Milestones and Actions
Milestones are the large steps to implementing the strategy (the If we part)
They are written in past tense and serve as indicators
Actions include Outputs, Timeline, Resources/Budget, Responsible Person, and Collaborators

15. Performance Cycle Monthly Implementation Status Reports
Quarterly Performance Reviews
Annual Leadership Performance Reviews

16. Implementation Drivers

17. Strategic Performance Network
Maintains autonomy of each organization in setting its direction, however operational procedures include common elements
Creates implementation and performance data at multi- organization levels
Adds a multiplier effect to the potency of the whole system as well as each organization
Creates rapid circuits of information through interlaced data that activate responsive supports

18. SPM Network

19. System of Interlaced Data
Common Elements
Goals (and goal performance measures)
Strategies (and strategy performance measures)
Milestones (implementation measures)
Actions (implementation measures)
Coded Elements
Strategies and related milestones and actions are coded based on 4 Domains
Other Coding Categories determined by SEA

20. And Responsive Supports
Coding is used to determine differentiated supports
For initial implementation
Is there a need for professional learning in a particular domain or practice at the initial implementation stage?
Are any leadership supports need to kick start implementation of the plan?
In response to progress data
What supports are needed to keep districts and school progressing on plans?
What immediate interventions are needed to get work back on track?

21. Digging Deeper with Examples
With your group, examine the examples provided and answer the following questions:
Does the Strategy seem appropriate for the goal?
Do the Category Codes seem appropriate for the strategy?
Other than the Category Codes for the Four Domains and Practices, what other categories would be used? Subject area, Grade range? Other?

22. Applying Learning through Practice
Using either School C, District Z or Anywhere State,
Create a goal
Identify a goal performance measure
Create a strategy aligned to a Domain and Practice
Identify a strategy performance measure
Be ready to share
Why is the strategy appropriate for the goal?
What category and other codes would be useful?

23. Applying Learning through Practice
Trade your example for a different example created by another team
Discuss possible supports
The school could provide itself
The district might provide
The state might provide
How helpful would a net of SPM in a System of Support be?
How could it be used to build the school’s capacity to use data from a performance cycle to make timely self-corrections or seek responsive supports?

24. Building A Collaborative and Support System for School Improvement Can Result in More Students Learning and Succeeding in Pursuit of Their Interests and Aspirational Goals.
