Supportive Documentation
Indistar’s Wise Ways® Valuable and initially well-received but not written to our new indicators Needed a descriptor for each indicator Can’t call them Wise Ways®–note the little ® Needed a name that reflected the work

Oregon’s Resources and Research
19
Development of R&Rs Attempted several iterations
Decided educators had 3 questions Why is this important to our students? What does this look like when well done? Where can we get more information?
20
Answered the Three Questions
Brief, research-based introduction to the expected return on the indicator Brief, research-supported description of the district/school role in implementing the indicator Two types of web searches with several terms each Google search Google Scholar search
21
Why Search Terms? Search terms show target best results
If printed, terms are easier to type than URLs monitoring school improvement vs. Guides educators into Google Scholar to stimulate use Google does all the work of keeping the resources up-to-date!
22
Indicator DTAL3.8
23
Distribution Linked from indicator in Indistar®
All included in a single PDF that is navigable Links to search terms are hot in the PDF Took advantage of PDF navigation settings
24
Feedback At your tables, please discuss one of the two R & R’s
Does the explanation of why this important ring true? Does the “when well Implemented” hit the target? Are they missing something? Do you think this research supports sustainable practice? Overall impressions, comments, questions or general points of concern? Whole group report out
