  1. A Focus on Results 2012 NDE Data Conference It’s More Than Numbers April 2-3 Kearney, NE Facilitated by: Debbie Schraeder, ESU#3 We assess our effectiveness on the basis of results rather than intentions. Individuals, teams, school, and districts seek relevant data and information and use that information to promote continuous improvement. -DuFour, DuFour, & Eaker

  2. Agenda • Welcome/PLC Connection • Using Data • Analyzing Data • Questions about Data Data decisions must reach the classroom. When teachers collaborate to examine student learning, they can set meaningful goals and share ideas for improving instruction.

  3. Six Essential Characteristics of Being A Professional Learning Community 1. A Focus on Learning 2. A Collaborative Culture 3. Collective Inquiry 4. Learning by Doing 5. Continuous Improvement 6. Results Orientation

  4. The “Big Ideas” that Should Drive Your PLC Efforts • Focus on Learning • We accept learning as the fundamental purpose of our school and therefore are willing to examineall practices in light of their impact on learning. • 2. Collaborative Culture • We are committed to working together to achieve our collective purpose. We cultivate collaborative culture through development of high performing teams. • 3. Focus on Results • We assess our effectiveness on the basis of results rather than intentions. Individuals, teams and schools seek relevant data and information and use that information to promote continuous improvement.

  5. Critical questions that lead to learning for all… • What will students know and be able to do? • Common outcomes • How do we know students learned it? • Common formative assessments • AND THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS OF ALL… • What happens if students do not learn it? • Consistent and supportive responses • What happens if students already know it? • Consistent and supportive responses Over time…

  6. Stories, are anecdotal evidence of our success…stories are a valuable source of data. Assessments are also evidence of our success. They help us answer the question: How do we know students have learned? We do more than enough assessment and we have a generous amount of data available to us. The challenge is to make sense of the information we have and to determine whether it’s timely, accurate, and trustworthy.

  13. Sharing Data: Beginning of Community Collecting data is on the first step toward toward wisdom, but sharing data is the first step toward community. -Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Every Teacher Should Have the Benefit of: Regular and timely feedback on his or her students’ progress …in achieving an agreed-upon essential standard …as measured on a valid, team-developed common assessment …in comparison to the other students in the school who are attempting to achieve that same standard. To what extent is that happening in your school?
