1. Using Tools of the Trade with Your Data Direct Access to Achievement (DATA) Project Certification Training Becky Stoughton, Eric Blackford and Marianne Oakes

2.  What are some of the tools?  How do you use them?  Why do you use them?  How do you know they work? Purpose and Objectives

3.  Funneling Data  Ishikawa Fishbone  Wagon Wheel  Force Field Analysis  Data Team Forms The Tools: Processes and Procedures

4. Funneling Data

5. 5 Broadly Explore Successes & Challenges Winnow Data Infer Cause/Effect Relationships SMART Goals Hypothesize Improvement Strategies “Funneling” Data

6. Your Turn……. What do you use? How do you use it?

7. Ishikawa Fishbone

8. Cause-and-Effect Diagram Poor performance on non- fiction writing assessments Student interest/self confidence in writing low Poor family support Lack of opportunities for non- fiction writing Link between successful non- fiction writing and positive student outcomes not established (for teachers) Lack of systemic school-wide plan to support non-fiction writing Ishikawa Fish Diagram Teacher training in content area writing lacking Link between successful non-fiction writing and positive student outcomes not established (for students)

10. Your Turn……….. And Why?

11. Wagon Wheel

12. 2 3 2 8 7 64 3 5 Wagon Wheel Template Key Variables 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Possibilities for Analysis Grade level Teachers Student groups/subgroups Domains/strands Grades Courses Instructional Strategies- Training Instructional Strategies- Implementation Years (trends) S - 27 1

13. 2 2 8 7 64 3 5 Wagon Wheel Example Key Variables 1.% of classrooms displaying student work by trait 2.# of grade level teams with students scoring by trait 3.% of student-led conferences explaining 6 +1 traits 4.% of teachers posting rubrics by trait 5.% of teachers collaboratively scoring/mo 6.% of students showing writing gains on writing prompts monthly 7.% of time students are actively engaged 8.% of teachers that have objectives clearly posted Group A = Group B = Group C= S - 28 1

15. Force Field Analysis

16.  Define the desired change or action (agree on a simple statement to describe the change to be made)  Brainstorm the driving forces -those which exist and tend to support or drive the desired change—these represent a good source of ideas for an implementation plan  Brainstorm restraining forces -forces which currently exist and are most likely to inhibit implementation of the improvement action  Prioritize the driving forces- relative importance  Prioritize restraining forces- relative importance  List actions to be taken

17. Force Field Analysis Desired Change: Driving Forces (+)Restraining Forces (-) ACTIONS: 1. 2. 3.

18.  Practical Examples from the Field Winnow the Data
