Establishing grade-level data team meetings is crucial for fostering collaboration among educators in analyzing student performance. This guide focuses on the fundamentals of creating a data wall, utilizing teacher action plans, and employing protocols for structured discussions. By using data cards like DIBELS and easyCBM, teams can identify student risk levels and tailor instructional strategies accordingly. The aim is to create targeted small group instruction that addresses learning gaps, enabling educators to refine their teaching approaches and enhance student outcomes effectively. ###

Grade-level Data Team Meetings
Establishing Grade-level Data Team Meetings • Basics of a Data Wall • Teacher Action Plans • Protocols
Introduction to Data Walls A Data Wall is… • a planning tool that allows you to design and organize reading instruction • a visual way to monitor student progress and instructional effectiveness
PPS Framework Review Table Discussion Choose a grade level Use the Framework to identify the instructional materials and time recommended for each Tier
Data Cards • Fall DIBELS Composite Score and easyCBM Risk Rating determines Tier (color of card) • Color stays the same throughout year in order to give visual representation of student progress • Triangulate data to fine tune instruction within Tier • DIBELS individual measures (e.g., NWF, ORF) • easyCBM individual measures (e.g., VOCAB, PRF) • Progress Monitoring • Phonics Survey Tasks • In program assessments • Oaks
Instructional Focus Groups… allow teachers to differentiate instruction within a tier and to design targeted small group instruction that addresses identified gaps in learning.
Understanding Instructional Focus Groups Table Activity 5-7 minutes: • Divide your team into 3 groups (K, 1-3 & 4-8) • Each group reads the Instructional Focus Group document for their assigned grade level group • Highlight critical descriptors and recommended instructional focus • Be prepared to teach your team what you learned 10 minutes: • Use Go Around Protocol for each Instructional Focus Group • Share key points of each, K, 1-3 and 4-8
Check for Understanding • At your table, discuss the correct Instructional Focus Group • Hold up card with the appropriate group number
