SD LEAPLeading Effectively…Achieving Progress April 9, 2013 Shawna Poitra, SD DOE
INDISTAR - SD LEAP • In South Dakota Indistar is called SD LEAP • South Dakota Leading Effectively…Achieving Progress
Background On Indistar in South Dakota • Started in November 2011 • SIG Transformation Indicators- 5 schools • District Indicators through APD- 3 districts • Implemented Turnaround Indicators to Focus and some Priority schools in October 2012 • Focus and Priority schools that piloted APD- worked on School Turnaround Indicators this year (2012-13) • Priority schools currently participating in APD worked on District Indicators this year and will complete School Turnaround Indicators in year 1 of implementation (2013-14)
Creating the SD School Turnaround Indicators • In April 2012 started to review Continuous and Rapid Improvement Indicators • Lois Myran (CIL) and Heather Hoak (McREL) • Set up DOE groups to review indicators • 8 groups of 2-3 people from across department • Tried to get a team to review information monthly- did not happen last spring • Completed process in May 2012 • Created 85 School Turnaround Indicators (customized for SD) • Created timelines for priority and focus schools
Trainings • Trained coaches in July 2012 • Trained schools in October/November 2012 • Completed a Road Show with Title I staff from SD DOE and Heather Hoak (McREL) • Held 9 regional trainings for school staff to attend • District staff trained at Kickoff Meeting for APD
Reviewing SD LEAP Information • First Reporting Date was January 31 • Have 50 schools with plans and goals to review • Formed a team in February of 15 DOE staff to review information • Split into 5 groups- completed a checklist for requirements • Hopefully will continue to meet monthly-new accountability department with DOE • Review and revise indicators, timelines, forms
Coaches • Each school has a Turnaround Coach • Coach required to meet with team on-site monthly and provide comments monthly • Send a log to me three times a year documenting time spent with schools and notes of progress • Use these to help in the DOE review • Rely on the coaches to review plans/goals • Will provide annual training to coaches
Consolidating plans • Slow process- still getting “buy in” from DOE staff • Added ELL plan to system in January • In the future possibly: • Schoolwide • Accreditation • SPED
Challenges • Priority School timelines • District and school turnaround indicators • Small Rural schools • Small staff, teaming, time • USED monitoring • Clarified one year process for Focus schools • New timeline and vision for Focus • Buy in from DOE staff • Not just a Title I issue
