1. June GATE Equity Webinar Planning for Equity with Data
Thank you for joining us for the June GATE Equity Webinar.
Where we explore topics related to equity in graduation success.
This webinar is being recorded and the video will be posted with captions later this month, so stay tuned for recordings.
The PowerPoint is posted under today’s date in the archive section GATE Equity Webinar page on OSPI’s website if you want to follow along.
Also, we’d like to ask that you direct the questions you want us to answer in the Q&A not the chat, so we can more easily monitor and respond to you. Chat is more for your own commentary. Thank you!
Today’s topic is Planning for Equity with Data.
This topic was chosen because data is a road to equity. By looking at the numbers you have a clear understanding of who is struggling and you get an opportunity to help. This work closes gaps and at OSPI we think it is important enough to bring you a data tool to help with this ongoing work.

12. Appreciative Inquiry
Strength-based change…focus on what is working right, connect to it, and inspire action for change
Appreciative Inquiry (AI) was pioneered in the 1980s by David Cooperrider and Suresh Srivastva, two professors at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University.

14. Ladder of Inference Impulsive Action Speculation Assumption Fact
Let’s revamp our 9 -12th grade Math curriculum
Impulsive Action
Speculation
What if we revamped our 11th grade math curriculum?
We obviously don’t have the right focus in our 11th grade Math curriculum
Assumption
Fact: Observable “data” and experiences. I select “data” from what I observe
Assumption: I add meanings (cultural and personal)—and interpret the selective data by explaining what it means in my context. I make assumptions based on the meanings.
Speculation: I draw conclusions and make inferences.
Impulsive Action: I take actions based on my beliefs.
IMPORTANT to be inquiry minded and seek to better understand what the data is telling us….AND to be Systems focused.
Refer to the handout in your folder, “Habits of a System Thinker.”
70% of our 11th graders scored below proficient on the statewide Math assessment

Cycle of Inquiry – Data Toolkit
Or the direct link:
Are you inquiry focused? Then let’s get started with the Cycle of Inquiry…
The steps can be accessed at any point in the process depending on your readiness and your needs.
Access the toolkit on the OSPI website…from the OSSI – “Study” page or use the direct link. Each “chapter” can be accessed individually.

16. Getting Ready Capacity to analyze and use data
Current status of data usefulness
Chapter 1: Getting Ready
So here we see all the steps. I’ve prepared some very high level statements to give you a feel for the step. But the link to the step…or chapter…is provided to access the rich and comprehensive resource.
So for the first step, “Getting Ready”, you need to determine capacity. It is important to also consider skill level and who needs to be engaged in the analysis and conclusions…and their availability.

Cycles of Inquiry:
Plan, Do, Study, Act
It is important to review data to monitor progress in an iterative cycle and make adjustments. This is referred to at a cycle of inquiry, and you may also be familiar with implementation science and the cycle of plan, do, study, act.
In your folder are data sources for information about English Learners.
Data Dimensions: Timely, Accurate, Actionable

19. Identify Issues • Develop the question
• Identify and plan for the collection of the data Chapter 2: Identify Issues
Identify issues and collect data. We touched on this a bit when we talked about the data available for tactical and strategic purposes….and what is available locally or from other sources.

20. Chapter 3: Understand Issues
Review the data
Communicate the story the data tells
Chapter 3: Understand Issues
Understand Issues: Dive in to your data…and you may need to seek more. If data comes from multiple sources or is complex, you will also need to purposefully think how to present the story for others to understand and to be able to plan from.

21. Diagnose Causes • Identify and clearly state the problem
• Identify the problem of practice
• Build knowledge
Chapter 4: Diagnose Causes
Diagnose Causes: It is important to have a clear and precise definition of the problem as you proceed with protocols to analyze root cause. With a proper diagnosis, the problem of practice can be better identified and appropriate actions designed.
There are several protocols available and we will take this opportunity to explore them now.

Develop an action and monitoring plan
Chapter 5: Plan and Take Action
Plan and Take Action: Define end states, identify best practice strategies, and develop an action plan…and how it will be monitored.

23. Evaluate Results • Analyze evidence on the impact
• Determine findings and conclusions
• What steps need to be taken next
Chapter 6: Evaluate Results
Evaluate Results: Using the monitoring plan, revisit data that gives evidence of the impact of the actions. The iterative cycle continues. What worked, what didn’t work, and what steps need to be taken now.
What gets evaluated gets done!

28. Upcoming Events AWSP/WASA Summer Pre-Conference: June 24
2018 School Counselor Summer Institute: June 27 & 29
We have a couple of events we thought you’d be interested in.
If you’re going to the AWSP/WASA summer conference, we have a great pre conference session you should check out: It’s Using Data and Coaching for Sustained Improvement, an OSPI/WASA Collaboration!
In this all day session you’ll get two amazing leaders in school improvement. In the morning session you’ll learn from Dr. Chuck Salina and Dr. Suzann Girtz, the Sunnyside Turnaround Team about their improvement efforts with Dave Martinez and Maria Hernandez from Sunnyside High School. Together, they formulated and documented Sunnyside’s change from a 48% graduation rate to 90% in a school where 79% of the students are low income. They beat the odds and want to share with you the way that they did it and help you craft a plan for how you can do it too.  
In the afternoon you’ll get introduced to Sharon Bowers, the inspiring leader of the Washington State Leadership Academy (WSLA). She’ll walk you through the dynamic and cooperative process Washington’s leadership teams use to take their schools to the next level. In this session you’ll get to define for yourself what problem of practice matters most to you and get thinking about the leadership moves that will get your staff fired up for the year to come.
We also have the 2018 School Counselor Summer Institute coming up.
School counselors, college/career specialists, district staff and college admissions professionals - these workshops are for you! 
The School Counselor Summer Institutes will offer technical assistance, designed for elementary, middle and high school counselors and other interested educators. It will provide information and updates on topics such as mental health, social emotional learning, integrated student services, resources, K-12 ESSA accountability measures, 9th grade success, attendance, dual credit, school safety, undocumented students, 12th Year Campaign, College Bound Scholarship Re-pledge, financial aid, implementation of graduation requirements and High School & Beyond Plan, student support resources, suicide prevention, foster care, homeless, students with disabilities, and more!
