2. INDICATOR DEVELOPMENT

3. OUTCOMES OF STAGE 2:DEVELOP A FOCUSED PLAN Develop SMART Goals Compose Strategies for Each Goal Establish Indicators for Every Strategy Adult Implementation Indicator Student Achievement Indicator Create Action Steps Write Tasks for the Action Steps Review, Revise, Adopt Plan • Establish Indicators for Every Strategy • Adult Implementation Indicator • Student Performance Indicator

4. Goal – A broad statement that specifies a desired change: 1) in student performance to close a gap or 2) an improved opportunity or potential for improved learning; and identifies the end results to be achieved within a given timeframe. Strategy – A key approach the district will implement; written as a specific, measurable statement about what is going to be accomplished to meet a need and get closer to reaching a goal within a given timeframe. Action Steps – Specific steps to operationalize a strategy and reach a goal. Tasks – A list of activities that need to be done in order for someone to complete an action. Adult Implementation and Student Performance Indicators – Strategy indicators are the gauges by which a strategy is determined to be met in terms of student performance and adult practices. Annual Goal Target – Goal targets are the gauges by which an annual goal is determined to be met or to be achieved. Multi-year Goal Indicator – Goal indicators are the gauges by which a goal is determined to be met. A Baseline Measure establishes a starting point. Progress Measures assess short-term measures of change. GRAIN SIZE VISUAL: GOAL, STRATEGY, ACTION, TASK AND INDICATOR DEFINITIONS Adult Implementation and Student Performance Indicators – Strategy indicators are the gauges by which a strategy is determined to be met in terms of student performance and adult practices. A Baseline Measure establishes a starting point. Progress Measures assess short-term measures of change.

5. Strategy Indicators Adult Implementation Indicators Student Performance Indicators

6. Strategy Indicator Criteria DATA IS • Available, Reliable, Accurate • Collected on Regular Basis • Understandable • Easily Communicated • Cost Effective

7. Indicator Examples Adult Implementation: 100% of teachers K-12 will use quality district-adopted formative reading comprehension assessments to inform instruction. Student Performance: Formative assessments will show no students at risk.

Multi-year Goal Indicator – Goal indicators are the gauges by which a goal is determined to be met. A Baseline Measure establishes a starting point. Progress Measures assess short-term measures of change. By 2016, 100% of students in Grades pK-12 will reach proficiency level or above on all state required assessments and/or locally developed summative assessments GRAIN SIZE VISUAL: GOAL, STRATEGY, ACTION, TASK AND INDICATOR DEFINITIONS Implement and monitor district-identified non-fiction literacy strategies in all instructional settings pK-12 Implement and monitor district-identified non-fiction literacy strategies in all instructional settings pK-12 Adult Implementation Indicator: 100 % of all classroom teachers preK-12 will use district-identified non-fiction literacy strategies as part of instruction, as indicated by walk-through data Based on 80% proficiency and above in 2012, the annual goal target will be to increase student performance on all state required assessments and/or locally developed summative assessments by 5% annually. Adult Implementation and Student Performance Indicators – Strategy indicators are the gauges by which a strategy is determined to be met in terms of student performance and adult practices. Student Performance Indicator: 100 % of all students K-12 will perform at proficient level or above on non-fiction literacy quarterly district summative assessments. A Baseline Measure establishes a starting point. Progress Measures assess short-term measures of change.

9. Important to Remember! OIP Strategy Focused Feasible Practical Based on previous identification of priorities Consistent with current research Written using clear jargon-free language Often multiyear OIP Indicator The gauge for measuring effectiveness of implementation of strategies Monitors Progress through Data Collection that is Available Reliable Understandable Realistic Cost effective
