improvement” -Victoria L. Bernhardt, Ph.D.-

The ResearchThe ability to accurately and
appropriately use the data … is critical to principals' effectiveness at ultimately improving student achievement (Price & Burton, 2004; Yeagley, 2001)
Holcomb (2004) found that proper training is key to effectively using data.

Statistics
Two types:1.Descriptive statistics are used to describe or summarize our observations without making inferences.
2.Inferential statistics are to make predictions or estimates using a sample population.

Take a few minutes to answer a question:
What was your school or district goal for reading last year?
For reading, how many students at each grade level were: Below Basic? Basic? Proficient? Goal? Advanced?
9
How well did the students perform overall?
10
Is this information enough to make a school-wide goal? If so, what could one be? If not, what other information do you need?
11
Why is it important to see the proficiency levels?

AYP (Reading 2010-2011=89%)
Goal= To increase the % of Students scoring At/Above Proficiency from 90% (14+41+35) to 95% (91%needed for AYP plus, in this case, because the scores are so
close to AYP, add an educational significant difference of 4%pts.) as measured by the 2011 CMT Math Score and monitored by the Common Assessments.

BLOOM’S TAXONOMY How We Teach
WEBB’S DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE How We Assess
KNOWLEDGE “The recall of specifics and
universals, involving little more than bringing to
mind the appropriate material” Recall – Recall of a fact, information, or procedure
(e.g., What are 3 critical skill cues for the overhand throw?) COMPREHENSION
“Ability to process knowledge on a low level such that the knowledge
can be reproduced or communicated without a verbatim repetition.”
APPLICATION “The use of abstractions in
concrete situations.”
Basic Application of Skill/Concept – Use of information, conceptual knowledge, procedures, two or more steps, etc. (e.g., Explain why each skill cue is important to the overhand throw. “By stepping forward you are able to throw the ball
further.”)
ANALYSIS “The breakdown of a situation into
its component parts.”
Strategic Thinking – Requires reasoning, developing a plan or sequence of steps; has some
complexity; more than one possible answer; generally takes less than 10 minutes to do (e.g., Design 2 different plays in basketball and explain
what different skills are needed and when the plays should be carried out.)
SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION “Putting together elements & parts to form a whole, then making value
judgments about the method.”
Extended Thinking – Requires an investigation; time to think and process multiple conditions of the problem or task; and more than 10 minutes to do
non-routine manipulations (e.g., Analyze 3 different tennis, racquetball, and badminton strokes for similarities, differences, and purposes. Then,
discuss the relationship between the mechanics of the stroke and the strategy for using the stroke
during game play.)

Safe Harbor: An alternate method for measuring progress toward AYP. For any school and/or subgroup that does not meet the proficiency target:– Reduce the % not proficient by 10 %– Meet the additional academic indicators– Meet the 95% participation rate
requirement.– Example:% Proficient Safe
HarborMathematics 45% 55% X .10 = 5.5% 51%
Reading 60% 40% x .10 = 4% 64%24

Important!
CMTs at various grades differ in content, difficulty, and length. Therefore, NOT directly comparable.You can examine data longitudinally within grade and within CMT generation from year to year. This includes strand and subgroup data. Note: it is recommended that 3 years of historical data be used. CMT4 was first administered March 2006 and should be considered the benchmark .
Reference: Krisst, Abe & Martin, Paul. Guidelines for proper CMT Data Analysis. 2007. CSDE
54
Important!
Within a generation and grade, comparisons may be made on the basis of scale scores and achievement levels for all students. DRP unit scores can also be compared.Within a generation, grade and year, strand level performance can be compared to other strands. It is important that strand makeup is part of the analysis. This will help guide your action plan.

Strand Analysis- Strand scores are useful when analyzing data about
discrete parts of the content area. Do not compare strand and scale data across
grades. They are tested in different ways-different level. To find trends you should have 3 years of historical data.
Look at trends rather than small differences. Strands are not precisely comparable.
Compare within the SAME Generation. 2006 is the baseline for the generation 4.
Once trends are identified, determine if the trend is statewide. If not, which districts are exceeding?
Compare district to state, over time or for one year. Compare strand individual strand performance against
other strands for the same grade.

School Improvement Planning Process
Analyze data to identify needs and goals
Set measurable goals and targets based on in depth data analysis
Clearly identify target levels of performance for all students
Develop SIP with timeline, benchmarks, and clear responsibilities
Align professional development with desired outcomes.
Monitor progress using interim assessments and data team process
69
Lessons Learned
Data driven decision making can be a powerful tool in changing student outcomes and promoting continuous improvement in achievement.
Progress has to be measurable. Community outreach is
essential.It has to start at the top.It takes time.

71
Bar Graphs: Points to Remember1. Bar Graphs are used to compare, each item is mutually exclusive and is collected at approximately the same time.2. Independent variables should be on the horizontal axis3. A descriptive tool that creates a picture of “What is”4. Individual bars represent independent events, groups, or individuals.Answers “how many” or “how much” groups or individuals earned or scaled at the time the data were collected.5. The most highly recommended format for descriptive data.6. Keep the easy to read as possible7. Reduce grid lines to the fewest needed for clarity8. Label data within the graph wherever possible
72
Bar Graphs: Points to Remember9. Eliminate boxes around the legend and use patterns sparingly10. You might want to move the legend to underneath if it is easier to read or include a portion of the legend in the graph11. Use type size that can be easily read and is consistent throughout the graph12. Make sure that the colors contrast enough to show the data clearly, and use colors that enable you to print or photocopy in Black and White12. ALWAYS include the “n” 13. Be sure to label both axes on the graph14. Use Data Labels when the value is difficult to see15. Dark background shading=white gridlines; white shading=dark thin gridlines16. Make sure that when presenting a series of graphs, the scales are consistent and accurate.
73
N=450
74
Line GraphsLine graphs are good at showing a series of numbers over time (for instance a disaggregated line graph is great for showing the achievement gap over time). Trends over time.To keep graphs easier to read, avoid graphing more then 5 lines.Be sure to include the number of people in each subgroup (subgroups less then 8 are too small to be included in a graph)Use a combination of colors and symbols to allow for black and white printing.Label axis and titles
