Initial Group Data Meeting Preparation & Facilitation August 23, 2012
Group Data Meeting (GDM) A collaborative team meeting occurring at set intervals throughout the year. Student data is used to inform decisions about: • Providing quality core instruction • Planning & implementing supplemental instructional strategies • Designing tiered intervention for students at risk • Examining students’ responses to instruction and intervention
Initial GDM Preparation… Before the team meets: • Disseminate data to team members • Include raw data & visual displays • User-friendly format • Members review data in advance • Leader prepares agenda • Think about what intervention may look like
GDM Logistics • Teams should include: principal, EIS, grade level & spec. ed. teachers, intervention staff, school psych. • Should occur during regularly scheduled CT time, within GDM window. • CT norms apply, though agenda is common across district
Initial GDM Focus is on goal setting & planning Performance data Class/Grade Level Problems and/or Student assignment to tiers Follow Up GDMs Focus on evaluation and fine tuning Growth data Student movement between tiers GDM: Initial versus Follow-Up
Initial GDM Agenda Agenda includes the following discussion areas: • Rationale & Expectations • Tier 1 Analysis • Tiers 2 & 3 Analysis
Tier I Analysis Identify current levels of performance • Discuss trends, needs, hypotheses • Grade-wide problem? • Set SMART goal or goals • Identify instructional strategies for the core curriculum • Plan logistics
Tier 2 & 3 Analysis – Initial GDM • Review student performance data • Identify students for intervention • Create intervention groups • Address “Watch List” from prior year
Post - GDM • Review notes on issues/problems and respond • Solidify intervention groups • Plan for remaining students • Finalize staff assignments • Establish progress monitoring schedules • Send out parent letter for students identified for intervention • Continue Tier 1 instructional planning at CTs
Intervention Preparation…. Intervention Considerations Based on Initial Data Analysis: • All students targeted for intervention must receive a comprehensive, research-based intervention from district menu • four days per week, 20 min. per day, in addition to the core curriculum • Interventions are delivered in a small group format (4 to 8) • Interventions must be delivered with fidelity • Personnel need to be trained to deliver/facilitate intervention. • Delivery method may be in the classroom or “pull-out” • Pull-out interventions must be delivered in an appropriate space.
Skill-Based Intervention • Understand the 5 Big Ideas of Reading • Understand which skills will need to be addressed, by grade level • Target one specific reading skill at a time • Identify what program will address each skill • Ensure student need matches intervention Phonics Need - Phonics Intervention – Phonics Progress Monitoring
