Selected Characteristics of an Effective Vision
Imaginable: Conveys a picture of what the future state of the campus will look like Focused: Is concise and clear enough to provide guidance in decision making Communicable: Is easy to communicate and explain Collaborative: Created with input from all in order to establish a sense of ownership Facilitators Note: We will use these characteristics to test the vision statement the team identifies at the end of the session. Review this slide with participants. In the note taking guide, answer reflection question 1: why does a vision statement need to have each of these characteristics? (Another way to think of this: what might happen in your planning if your vision does not have these characteristics?) updated 8/13/18

06/28/18 Vision Reflection In your note-taking guide, answer (2 minutes): How can data-driven improvement planning help our campus achieve this vision? Before we begin, let’s take a moment to think about what we need to achieve this year. You brought your vision statement with you today; this vision should drive the improvement planning work that you do this year. Individually, take 2 minutes to answer the first question in your note-taking guide (show Slide 3): How can data-driven improvement planning help our campus achieve this vision? [Potential responses: Answers will vary; planning with data lets us know how far we are from the vision/if we are getting closer to achieving it]

Fahrig, R. SI Reorg Presentation: DCSI
06/28/18 Improvement Planning with Data Say (1 min): We know that we need both a vision AND a plan to get our schools to improve. In order to anchor our plan in data, we are going to begin our planning work with Data Analysis. Individually, take one minute to answer question 2 in your note taking guide (show Slide 4): Why is data analysis the first step in creating the plan? [Potential responses: because it helps us measure how far we are from our targets or from achieving our vision] Say (1 min): Do a quick turn and talk with someone next to you about your answer. (Wait 2 minutes) Say (2 mins): Let’s share whole group. Why is data analysis step one? (Have 1-2 people respond whole group) In your note-taking guide, answer (2 minutes): Why is data analysis the first step in creating a plan?

Fahrig, R. SI Reorg Presentation: DCSI
06/28/18 Objectives Say (5 mins): (show Slide 6) Today, you are going to practice doing 2 things so that you can return to your campus ready to conduct your own Data Analysis: Identify why a campus did not meet standard and where the performance gaps are Write data-driven problem statements and annual goals on which to base improvement planning We will look at a couple of case studies to determine why these actions are important for planning, and then we will practice using tools to conduct a sample data analysis. Identify why a campus did not meet standard and where the performance gaps are Write data-driven problem statements and annual goals on which to base improvement planning

Fahrig, R. SI Reorg Presentation: DCSI
06/28/18 Identifying Key Actions for Data Analysis: Case Study A Say (1 min): Before we practice doing a data analysis, let’s look at two case studies from sample campuses to identify what the key actions for data analysis are. We are going to look at two case studies. (Show Slide 7) Pull Case Study A from your packet. Individually, read the case study and answer the questions in your note taking guide. Take 10 minutes for this. What actions did Campus A take to determine why they didn’t meet standard? [Potential answers: reviewed the data used to create accountability rating from the performance reporting website] What actions did the campus take to identify where their performance gaps are? [Potential answers: determined why they didn’t meet standard by looking at each domain by grade level and content area] What is the purpose of the problem statement and annual goal? [Potential answers: tells you where you are and what you need to do to meet standard] How will these actions set them up for successful improvement planning? [Potential answer: the campus will focus on the data/areas that show that they are underperforming; will be able to track progress toward goal more easily] Say (1 min): Turn and talk to your table group and discuss your answers. Take 3 minutes for this. (Facilitators monitor table talk to make sure discussions are on track with the answers above) Say (5 min): Let’s do a whole group share out. (Ask for 3-4 volunteers to share their responses) Read the case study. In your note-taking guide, answer (10 minutes): What actions did Campus A take to determine why they didn’t meet standard? What actions did the campus take to identify where their performance gaps are? What is the purpose of the problem statement and annual goal? How will these actions set them up for successful improvement planning?

Fahrig, R. SI Reorg Presentation: DCSI
06/28/18 Improving Practices: Case Study B Say (1 min): (show Slide 9) Let’s look at another campus. This campus missed the same accountability targets, but they took a different approach to their data analysis. Individually, read the case study and answer the two questions in your note taking guide. Take 7 minutes for this. Why might Campus B’s Problem Statement/Annual Goal lead to a less effective plan? [Potential answers: they aren’t aligned to state accountability targets, they are not measurable] What steps would you recommend campus B take to improve their problem statement/annual goal? [Potential answers: narrow the data sources, maintain focus on state accountability targets] Say (1 min): Turn and talk to your table group and discuss your answers. Take 3 minutes for this. (Facilitators monitor table talk to make sure discussions are on track with the answers above) Say (5 min): Let’s do a whole group share out. (Ask for 3-4 volunteers to share their responses) Read the case study. In your note-taking guide, answer (7 minutes): Why might Campus B’s Problem Statement/Annual Goal lead to a less effective plan? What steps would you recommend Campus B take to improve their Problem Statement/Annual Goal?

Fahrig, R. SI Reorg Presentation: DCSI
06/28/18 Identifying Data Trends Say (2 mins): (show Slide 11) Now we are going to practice conducting a data analysis and writing data-driven problem statements and annual goals. You are going to work with your campus team on a sample set of data. (Facilitator note: if a campus team has more than 4, divide them into groups of 4-5.) Take out your Data Analysis Guided Discussion packet. This worksheet is meant to help teams uncover performance gaps and synthesize data into problem statements and should be used when you return to your campus to conduct your own data analysis. Use the sample data packets on your table to complete the worksheet. You will also answer the two reflection questions on the slide in your note-taking guide. Take 20 minutes. (Facilitators note: during this time, circulate among tables to ensure that participants are using the worksheet correctly) Domain 1: Teams should start by looking at the content areas, student subgroups, and performance levels. [Conversations should be taking place around the achievement by content area and student groups. To understand the grade level breakdown for each content area, the campus will use the student performance report that lists students’ individual results.] Domain 3: Teams look at the Closing the Gaps table. The first table will help the campus with an overview of Domain 3. The second table provides a break down actual achievement numbers for Domain 3. [Conversations should be taking place around the Academic Achievement and Growth Status categories. The campus failed to meet many of the targets in these categories. Make sure that campuses understand the difference between the two tables and how they are used to help the campus understand the Domain 3 data.] Practicing a data analysis: (20 minutes) -Sample campus (different from case studies!), Domains 1 and 3 -Complete Steps 1a and 3a-3g in your Data Analysis Guided Discussion packet -Review the other steps in the Data Analysis Guided Discussion packet and answer in your note-taking guide: What is our plan to complete this data analysis at our campus? Who is responsible for the work, and who will hold them accountable? Training Implementation TIP

Fahrig, R. SI Reorg Presentation: DCSI
06/28/18 Identifying Data Trends Say: (show Slide 12) Now that you have reviewed the data, let’s summarize why the campus didn’t meet standard. With your table team, write 2-4 bullets for each domain the campus missed that describe WHY they missed the domain target. Record your data summary statements on the chart paper near your table. Take 10 minutes for this. (Facilitators note: circulate to ensure responses are aligned to expected responses; ask questions to redirect as needed) Potential responses: Domain 1: Only 33% of students reached the Approaches Grade Level standard in Writing. Only 33% of Economically Disadvantaged students reached the Approaches Grade Level standard in Writing. Lead teams to think about the Next steps: Identify the 4th grade teacher who had the lowest levels of achievement in Writing. Only 45% of Current EL students reached the Approaches Grade Level standard in Mathematics. Lead teams to think about the Next steps: Identify the grade level that had the lowest level of achievement in Math for Current EL students. Identify the teacher who had the lowest level of achievement in Math in that grade level for Current EL students. Other Potential Answers: • 44% of African American students reached the Approaches GL standard in Math. • 34% of Hispanic students reached the Approaches GL standard in Writing. •47% of Economically Disadvantaged students reached the Approaches GL standard on all tests taken. Domain 3: No Academic Achievement Status targets were met in Math and ELA. In ELA, the student groups with the largest gaps are: Hispanic, Continuously Enrolled, and All Students. In Math, the student groups with the largest gaps are: All Students, Hispanic, and Non-Continuously Enrolled. Lead teams to think about Next Steps: Identify the grade levels that had the largest academic achievement gaps. Focus in on the specific student groups that most contributed to targets not being met. Identify the teachers who most contributed to the targets not being met. Only 12% of African American and Hispanic achieved the Masters Grade Level standard. Lead teams to think about Next Steps: Identify the subject area that had the lowest number of African American and Hispanic students achieve the Master GL standard. Identify the grade level that had the lowest number of African American and Hispanic students achieve the Master GL standard. Focus on the teacher who had the lowest number of African American and Hispanic students achieve the Master GL standard. Other potential responses: No growth status measures (the most heavily weighted component in Domain 3) were achieved by student groups in ELA or Math. Student Success Status targets were not reached by any measurable subgroup with the exception of Current Special Education. There is a large gap between the number of growth points earned by African American students and growth points earned by other student groups. Why didn’t the campus meet standard? (2-4 bullets per missed Domain target) – 7 minutes with table team; record responses on chart paper

06/28/18 Data Trends: Findings Say (5 mins): (show Slide 13) So we can look around the room and see what some of the data trends for this campus are. Here are some of the trends that we surfaced: (read from slide. If the trends on the chart paper around the room don’t match, open for discussion). Some trends we identified: The campus overall is struggling with student growth. Writing is an area of concern for the campus. There are disparities in the performance of student groups that aren’t explained by the data tables: African American and Hispanic students on campus are not achieving at the Masters level. White students and Current Special Ed students underperformed in Math and ELA when compared to the other subgroups.

Fahrig, R. SI Reorg Presentation: DCSI
06/28/18 Practice: Writing Problem Statements and Annual Goals Say (2 min): (show slide 15) We have identified the trends in our example data, but now we need to turn these trends into measurable problem statements and annual goals, which will serve as the foundation of our improvement plans. First, let’s take a minute to look back at the problem statements and annual goals from our case studies. On page 4 of your note-taking guide, the problem statements and annual goals for each campus are listed. In your notes, answer the reflection question: What is missing in Campus B’s problem statement and annual goal? [Potential responses: problem statement is not based on accountability data (not clear why this is the primary reason they didn’t meet standard), annual goal is not measurable] Say (4 mins): (Ask for volunteers to share responses) In your note-taking guide, answer (3 minutes): What is missing in Campus B’s problem statement and annual goal?
21
Fahrig, R. SI Reorg Presentation: DCSI
06/28/18 Key Idea (show slide 16) Key idea: Here are our criteria for problem statements and annual goals: A good problem statement is: Substantiated by data A key reason why the campus did not meet standard A good annual goal is: Based on measurable results Attainable and ambitious In your note-taking guide, take a minute to write your understanding of what makes a good problem statement and annual goal. Say: (leave slide 16 up) Now let’s practice using the data trends we just uncovered in the sample data to write a problem statement and annual goal. Individually, take 5 minutes to write one problem statement and a corresponding annual goal for one of the data trends in your note-taking guide. Keep in mind our criteria for problem statements and annual goals! (After 5 mins) Say: We are going to review each other’s problem statements and annual goals now. Find a partner from another table/campus. You are going to take 3 minutes to read each other’s problem statements and annual goals and evaluate them against the criteria. You will then each have 2 minutes to provide your partner feedback, and then you will take one minute to revise. I’ll walk you through the timeline as we go. For now, take 1 minute to find a new partner! (After everyone is settled) Ok, now you have 3 minutes to read each other’s problem statements and annual goals and evaluate them against the criteria. Record your feedback on page 4 of your note-taking guide. You may begin. (After 3 mins) Take turns giving the feedback on the problem statement/annual goal. The person who has the closest birthday to today gives feedback first. You have 2 minutes to give your feedback. Begin! (Facilitator will walk around while partners are giving feedback; ask those with strong problem statement/annual goals to share out once the activity is over.) (After 2 mins) Now let’s switch. Partner 2, give your feedback. You have 2 minutes! (After 2 mins) Take one minute and make any revisions to your Problem Statement/Annual Goal that your partner suggested. (After 1 min) Let’s return to our original seats. (Wait for people to get re-settled.) I heard a couple of great examples of problem statements and annual goals while walking around. (Facilitator asks selected participants to share and asks the room for their thoughts or feedback.) A good problem statement is: Substantiated by data A key reason why the campus did not meet standard A good annual goal is: Based on measurable results Attainable and ambitious

06/28/18 Identifying Key Actions for Root Cause Analysis: Case Study A Section Outcome: Participants will identify the actions a sample campus took to arrive at a root cause that will serve as the foundation of their improvement plan. Say (1 min): (show slide 6) We are going to look at two case studies. Pull Case Study A from your packet. Individually, read the case study and answer the two questions in your note taking guide. Take 10 minutes for this. How did this campus get from a surface cause to a root cause? [Potential answers: they identified an area of highest need through specific questioning; they included multiple stakeholder groups which helped reveal more issues, they tie the root cause back to data] What impact will this have on their plan development? [Potential answers: the campus now knows what really caused their low performance in math, they will select a better strategy, because they included various groups, they have a deeper understanding of campus issues] Say (1 min): Turn and talk to your table group and discuss your answers. Take 3 minutes for this. (Facilitators monitor table talk to make sure discussions are on track with the answers above) Say (5 min): Let’s do a whole group share out. (Ask for 3-4 volunteers to share their responses) Read the case study. In your note-taking guide, answer (7 minutes) and share out (3 minutes): How did this campus get from a surface cause to a root cause?

06/28/18 Improving Practices: Case Study B Section Outcome: Particpants will evaluate the missteps a campus might make in the data analysis process and identify actions to avoid those missteps. Say (1 min): (show Slide 8) Let’s look at another campus. This campus missed the same accountability targets and has the same problem statement, but they took a different approach to their root cause analysis. Individually, read the case study and answer the two questions in your note taking guide. Take 7 minutes for this. Why did this campus arrive at a surface cause and not a root cause? [Potential answers: didn’t tie the work to data, no guided discussion, only a couple pf people at the table, one with limited knowledge of the campus] What might happen if the campus bases its improvement strategy on a surface-level cause? [Potential answers: the campus doesn’t know what really caused low performance, so they are more likely to select a strategy that won’t actually help them] Say (1 min): Turn and talk to your table group and discuss your answers. Take 3 minutes for this. (Facilitators monitor table talk to make sure discussions are on track with the answers above) Say (5 min): Let’s do a whole group share out. (Ask for 3-4 volunteers to share their responses) Read the case study.

06/28/18 How to Use the Guided Discussion Take the Guided Discussion worksheet from your packet. You are going to use this document for your conversation. (Show slide 11) (Facilitator explains how to use worksheet and where to record answers) Since you don’t have all your campus data/artifacts with you today, we will just answer the questions based on your campus experience. (Remember this is practice!) Take 10 minutes to work through the questions and record in your note guide. (Facilitator walks around to see at what level participants are stopping.) Teaching and Learning Leadership Effectiveness Teacher Quality School Climate and Culture Under each topic: Start with the first element and GO IN ORDER. Determine if your campus does that element consistently and with fidelity. If yes, provide evidence or artifacts to validate (you will do this back at your campus). Continue to the next element. If your answer is no, write the scaffolded element in your note taking guide, and then move to the next topic. Repeat for each topic. Take 10 minutes with your table group! updated 8/13/18

06/28/18 The Guided 5 Whys Say (6 mins): (show slide 12) Now that we have identified missing systems or processes, we are going to use a more traditional root cause analysis tool, the 5 whys, to identify some of the reasons we did not implement the system or process from the guided discussion. First, let’s go back to our case studies and look at the 5 whys processes our sample campuses used. Individually, answer the three questions in your note taking guide. Take 5 minutes for this. What did Campus A identify when they asked the 5 whys about the system they did not implement? [Potential answers: that parents believe teacher quality is inconsistent, that teachers do not feel administrators are trained to give feedback on instruction] What did Campus B identify when they asked 5 whys about the problem statement? [Potential answers: that educator preparation programs are not preparing teachers] Why might Campus A’s 5 whys process yield a better improvement plan? [Potential answers: Campus A is focused on the system that is in within their control to implement; they are identifying the potential barriers to putting this system in place] Say (3 min): Turn and talk to your table group and discuss your answers. Take 3 minutes for this. (Facilitators monitor table talk to make sure discussions are on track with the answers above) Say (5 min): Let’s do a whole group share out. (Ask for 3-4 volunteers to share their responses) In your note taking guide, answer the questions about the 5 whys processes that Campuses A and B used (5 mins): What did Campus A identify when they asked the 5 whys about the system they did not implement? What did Campus B identify when they asked 5 whys about the problem statement? Why might Campus A’s 5 whys process yield a better improvement plan? updated 8/13/18

06/28/18 The Guided 5 Whys Say (3 mins): (show slide 14) Now we are going to use a traditional root cause analysis tool, the 5 whys, to uncover the root cause that kept us from taking this step. But our 5 whys are also a bit more guided. For this practice, we will just use the question you stopped at in teaching and learning. (Facilitator reads over example in slide 14) Take 10 minutes with your group to do this. In your note-taking guide, ask and answer “why” 5 times for the T&L question you stopped at. The first 2 why questions are set for you! Example: Under teaching and learning, our first NO answer was to “Campus instructional leaders have consistent, documented expectations for maximizing instructional time and delivering effective instruction.” Why wasn’t this system/process implemented?

Did not know system was needed) / Action – did not create it Example: Under teaching and learning, our first NO answer was to “Campus instructional leaders have consistent, documented expectations for maximizing instructional time and delivering effective instruction.” Why wasn’t this system/process implemented? Because we want teachers to work with their own style of instruction. Why didn’t we achieve success when we let teachers work with their own style of instruction? Because our teachers were inconsistent with the quality and rigor of instruction. Why were teachers inconsistent? Because we didn’t monitor quality and rigor consistently.

06/28/18 Writing a Root Cause Statement Say (6 mins): (show Slide 17) Our last step in this section is to write the root cause statement that would go in our plan. With your table team, develop your root cause statement. The root cause statement should: identify the system or process that was missing that led to low performance identify one or more key barriers that kept that system or process from being implemented The example we worked with earlier is written as a root cause statement on the slide. The system that was lacking is highlighted in yellow; the key barrier is highlighted in green. Take 5 minutes to do this. (Facilitator walks around to answer questions and help team identify biggest barrier(s).) The root cause statement should: identify the system or process that was missing that led to low performance identify one or more key barriers that kept that system or process from being implemented Example: Campus instructional leaders did not create consistent, documented expectations for delivering effective instruction because we prioritized teacher autonomy over student outcomes.

06/28/18 Tips for Conducting Root Cause Analysis at your campus Say (3 min): (show slide 18) Before we movie into our final reflection, we wanted to share a couple of tips for when you return to your campus to do this work. First, we want to acknowledge that doing a root cause analysis can lead to some difficult conversations. If you have attended any professional development around communicating with stakeholders (like Courageous Principals), now is the time to employ those strategies! And remember: focus on the specific process (or lack of a process), not the specific people, that led to low performance. Second, we want to reiterate the importance of conducting the root cause analysis with multiple stakeholder groups. You may want to consider giving the Guided Discussion Worksheet to these different groups BEFORE everyone comes together to see if you are calibrated on what systems are lacking at the campus. Difficult conversations ahead: use your communication toolkit and focus on processes Give the guided discussion worksheet to stakeholders prior to the meeting; calibrate in the meeting updated 8/13/18

06/28/18 Selecting an Aligned Strategy: Case Studies Say (1 min): (show slide 6) We will look at two sample campuses with the same root cause. Each campus has gone through a different process and selected a different strategy. Take 7 minutes to read each short case study, and then answer the questions in your note taking guide individually: Why is Campus A’s strategy more aligned to the root cause? [Potential responses: Campus A is doing the first thing first: they are addressing the root cause directly. Campus B’s strategy doesn’t guarantee that the foundation of an observation/feedback system is in place; i.e. they aren’t doing the first thing first.] What might happen at Campus B if they implement this strategy? [Potential responses: They won’t successfully implement because they haven’t dealt with the foundational issue of observation and feedback.] Say (1 min): Turn and talk to your table group and discuss your answers. Take 3 minutes for this. (Facilitators monitor table talk to make sure discussions are on track with the answers above) Say (4 min): Let’s do a whole group share out. (Ask for 3-4 volunteers to share their responses) Say (2 min): Campus A identified a strategy that can resolve their root cause because it sets a foundation for improvement. It’s the “first thing first.” Campus B selected a strategy that doesn’t address their core issue: that there is no observation/feedback system. Read the case studies.

06/28/18 Objectives Today’s session will help all campus IR levels, whether you are fine tuning a plan or writing it for the first time, because we are going to practice doing the following: (show slide 3): Identify the action steps (in the proper sequence) necessary to effectively implement the aligned strategy Determine what resources are needed to conduct those action steps (personnel, materials, time) Assign roles and responsibilities for implementation and monitoring Establish metrics, milestones, and evidence of implementation fidelity that will measure progress at critical times through the school year We will look at a sample improvement plan first, and then we will practice drafting an implementation plan. When you return to your campus, you will be able to use these skills to develop or update your improvement plan in a way that ensures that you fully implement your chosen strategy. Identify the action steps (in the proper sequence) necessary to effectively implement the aligned strategy Determine what resources are needed to conduct those action steps (personnel, materials, time) Assign roles and responsibilities for implementation and monitoring Establish metrics, milestones, and evidence of implementation fidelity that will measure progress at critical times through the school year updated 8/13/18

06/28/18 An Example Improvement Plan Say (2 mins): If you attended the sessions on Data and Root Cause Analysis and Strategy identification, you know we have been working with case studies of two campuses. For this session, rather than look at a case study, we are going to look at the plan that one of those campuses created as a result of their robust needs assessment and aligned strategy identification. The example Targeted Improvement Plan is in your packet. Note that for training, we are just looking at one Problem Statement/Annual Goal section. (Your plan will likely have more than 1 annual goal.) On your own, review the plan. As you do, answer the questions in your note-taking guide (show slide 4): You have 10 minutes. What are the primary actions the campus will take to implement this strategy? [Potential responses: Answers will vary; should focus on training, monitoring that training is being implemented, tracking student progress] How will the campus and district know that the plan is being implemented? [Potential responses: They are holding various stakeholders accountable, they have measurable outcomes, they are observing implementation of trainings] How will the campus and district know that the plan is having an impact on student achievement? [Potential responses: they are measuring student outcomes and progress] Say (1 min): Take 2 minutes to do a quick turn and talk with someone next to you about your answers. (Wait 2 minutes) Say (5 mins): Let’s share whole group. (Facilitator asks each question and has 1-2 people share answer to each.) Review the plan.

06/28/18 Practice: Writing an Implementation Plan (show slide 7): Take a minute to read over the Problem Statement, Root Cause, Strategy, and Annual Goal. Note the alignment of these elements: the problem statement exists because of the root cause. So the campus will implement this strategy to resolve the root cause and achieve the annual goal. Remember that these elements all must be aligned in your plan. (Wait 1 minute for review) Problem Statement 75% of 5th graders did not meet grade level in math because we failed to adhere to teacher induction practices, and our new teachers struggled. We will develop and monitor a year-long teacher orientation program in which master teachers and instructional coaches will provide 1:1 coaching for new teachers so that we can reduce the number of 5th grade students who did not meet grade level in math by 20%.

06/28/18 Practice: Writing an Implementation Plan Say: (show slide 8) Our first step in implementation planning is to identify the actions needed to implement the strategy and sequence them. You have post-its on your table. On your own, write down as many actions as you can think of that a campus /district would need to take (one action per post-it). You only have 3 minutes! You may begin. (Wait 3 mins; facilitator walks around room to help participants generate ideas as needed) Say (2 mins): Hopefully you generated a lot of ideas about what the campus needs to do to implement the strategy. Now let’s compare to what your table team also came up with and begin to sequence these actions. Next to your table, you have 3 pieces of chart paper, labeled short term, intermediate, and long term. You are going to place your post-it note actions on these pieces of chart paper. Identify and Sequence Actions On your own: using one Post-It note per action, write down as many actions as you can think of in 3 minutes. updated 8/13/18

Fahrig, R. SI Reorg Presentation: DCSI
06/28/18 Practice: Writing an Implementation Plan Say (2 mins): (show slide 9) Short term refers to anything that needs to be completed right away to implement the strategy. This might include acquiring materials or training staff. Intermediate actions are the actions that happen next; these are the actions that show you that the resources/training are being used. Finally, long term are the actions that show evidence that strategy implementation is having an impact. On each chart paper, as much as you can, put the actions in the chronological order in which they should be completed. With your table team, place your actions on the appropriate chart paper. Take 5 minutes to do this. (Wait 5 mins; facilitator walks around room to answer questions about short/mid/long term) Identify and Sequence Actions Put actions in order on chart paper with your team (5 minutes) Short term = anything that needs to be completed right away to implement the strategy (acquiring materials, training staff, etc.) Intermediate = actions that show you that the resources/training are being used with fidelity Long term = actions that show evidence that strategy implementation is having an impact updated 8/13/18

Take some post-its with you on our walk… if you have an action you think the group should add, stick it to the bottom of their chart. You have 10 minutes to look at as many charts as you can. Begin! (Facilitator also walks around the room to ensure that charts include steps for training, observations, feedback, and student progress measuring. Add post its as needed.) Say (1 min): Let’s return to our seats. (Wait for everyone to get re-seated). Look at what, if anything, your colleagues added to your chart. If you agree with the addition, move it to the correct place chronologically. Take 2 minutes for this.

Look at your charts: do you have actions to train staff at all levels? Do you have actions to conduct observations and provide feedback on training implementation? Do you have actions to measure how students are doing? Take a couple of minutes to review your charts. Is your skeleton complete? Do you have: Actions to train staff at all levels?
