  1. Data Driven School Improvement Lorenzo Walker Tech August 13, 2008

  2. Three Key Questions • What do we want our students to know, and be able to do? • How will we know whether they are learning what we want them to know and be able to do? • What will we do if they are not learning what we want them to know and be able to do?

  3. What do we want our students to know, and be able to do? • Focus on our mission and vision • “The mission of the Lorenzo Walker campus is to provide rigorous and relevant educational experiences that prepare all students with both the academic and technical skills necessary to succeed in their chosen careers and in further postsecondary education as desired.” • Vision: “All students will graduate with certifications and skills to obtain positions in their chosen career fields. High school graduates will be fully prepared for additional postsecondary education, and adult graduates will attain the academic skills necessary for success.”

  4. What do we want our students to know, and be able to do? • Incorporate our core beliefs • Students are our number one priority, and their needs are the focus of all school decisions. • Students learn best when they are appropriately challenged with rigorous and relevant work. • All students have value, and the potential to succeed. • Our central purpose as educators in a technical environment is to focus on student success and employability. • Collaborative relationships with business partners are a vital element in our efforts to ensure success. • Mutual respect among all members of our school community is necessary for the establishment of a positive and caring environment.

  5. What does it mean to… • “Prepare all students with both the academic and technical skills necessary to succeed in their chosen careers and in further postsecondary education as desired.”

  6. For Discussion… • What are the “academic and technical skills necessary to succeed in their chosen careers”? • What are the “academic and technical skills necessary to succeed…in further postsecondary education as desired”? • What do our students need to KNOW and BE ABLE TO DO?

  7. What are key factors for success in the 21st century? The magnitude of our competition is changing. We need to improve our global competitive position and develop within the global community. The demands of the workplace are changing. The nature of student experience has changed outside of school. We need many more of our students to become effective 21st Century Citizens with lifelong teaching and learning skills. The Partnership for 21st Century Skills

  11. “But I teach …” • What are the connections between the P21 skills and your specific subject areas? • http://www.fldoe.org/bii/curriculum/course_descriptions/ What do YOUR students need to KNOW and BE ABLE TO DO?

  12. “This is a story about the big public conversation the nation is not having about education… whether an entire generation of kids will fail to make the grade in the global economy because they can’t think their way through abstract problems, work in teams, distinguish good formation from bad, or speak a language other than English.” How to Build a Student for the 21st Century, TIME Magazine, December 18, 2006

  13. Three Key Questions • What do we want our students to know, and be able to do? • How will we know whether they are learning what we want them to know and be able to do? • What will we do if they are not learning what we want them to know and be able to do?

  14. What is “Data Driven School Improvement”? • Data Driven: How will we know whether they are learning what we want them to know and be able to do? • School Improvement: What will we do if they are not learning what we want them to know and be able to do?

  15. How will we know whether they are learning what we want them to know and be able to do? What is the DATA we can look at to determine if students are meeting the learning objectives set for what we want them to KNOW and BE ABLE TO DO? http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=df6zx52t_137ff42rjgq&hl=e http://wordle.net/

  16. What Does Our Data Reveal? • The elephant in the room, Part One… • The process: • http://schoolgrades.fldoe.org/pdf/0708/SGGuide2008.pdf • Our numbers: http://schoolgrades.fldoe.org/default.asp

  17. What Does Our Data Reveal? • The elephant in the room, Part Two… • Spring 2008 TABE Overview: • Students Exempt: 263 48% • Students Passed: 148 27% • Students Not Passed: 135 25% If Exempt students are excluded: • Students Passed: 148 52% • Students Not Passed: 135 48%

  18. “Confront the Brutal Facts, Yet Never Lose Faith” • Find the strengths • Find the opportunities for growth • Feel the pain, then move on • Determine clearly what you’re dealing with • Make a plan • Keep the data in perspective

  19. Dig Deeper • FCAT and TABE scores matter… but what specifically is helpful to know? • What other data can either reveal our student performance our explainfactors in their performance? “Data Driven: How will we know whether they are learning what we want them to know and be able to do?”

  20. Extensions • Prior to Friday’s session: • Secondary Faculty – Take the Data Warehouse Scavenger Hunt, and bring your results on Friday • Postsecondary Faculty – Review the department data provided, and generate a list of observations, questions, or further information that would be helpful • All Faculty- In addition to the data provided, identify one additional type of data that you think would be very helpful in guiding your performance – and attempt to locate that data, for your class/students, to bring on Friday

  21. We Start By Collecting the Data! • http://api.ning.com/files/AqgRWjguSo7occ6V2fDm8BFe8u8Nc92j7Ll1opKx0S2DwVSKSB8syUmhymwjVojFuQSnDu0TxN9tD6kMkewM5m-3Wp0ITWIj/Administrator_dance.wmv
