CTEDDI Action Plans - Implementation
Webinar March 29, 2012
The current climate in education calls
for teachers and faculty to develop an
understanding of how to use multiple
sources of data to formulate a
practical improvement plan that
contributes to positive changes in
student outcomes.
2
What does this really mean?
Use multiple sources
Data exists at many levels. In order to
effectively target your efforts to improve
instruction, you will need a number of
sources:
• National
• School
• State
• Program
• District/System • Teacher
• Class
• Student
• Standards
What Data Reveals
• Achievement gaps
• Differences between subgroups
• Trends
• Progress
Practical Improvement Plan
There is a difference between data use for
instructional improvement and data use for
accountability.
Comparing Accountability Purposes to Improvement Purposes
Data Source
Accountability Purpose
Instructional Improvement Purpose
(Generally answers - How many? What?)
(Generally answers – Who? To what degree? To what end?)
Attendance records
Obtain reimbursement from state or
federal funding source
Reduce student absences
Grades
Prepare student report cards
Reduce failure/dropout rates
Test Scores
Comply with Federal/State
requirements to assess students
Assess and modify curriculum and assure
alignment of instructional strategies used
with intended student outcomes
Transfer records
Report to board or funding agency
who requires reporting on this
measure
Facilitate successful transfers for students;
identify reason for and trends in transfer
that might be related to labor market
trends or institutional programs or
processes
Graduation Rates
Federal/State reporting requirements
Improve student success, preparation for
postsecondary or the workforce
Positive Change in Student Outcomes
An outcome is a change in a student’s skills,
attitudes, knowledge, behaviors, status, or life
condition brought about by experiencing a
program.
o While attention to outcomes matters so does attention to the
experiences that lead to those outcomes.
Data Driven Action Plan
Where do you start?
Start with a question
Where can I look to start improving instruction?
Teachers/Faculty
Students
•
How do I know I am delivering instruction
well? Does the way I currently teach this
contribute to a performance gap?
•
How do I know that my students have
adequate opportunity to practice new skills
and apply them in unpredictable situations?
•
How confident am I that my own content
knowledge has kept up with changes in the
field?
•
What do I know about my students’
readiness to learn and how might that
change how I teach?
•
To what degree are all students in my class
given the same opportunity to learn
successfully?
•
Which students are succeeding or struggling?
Are there similarities? Differences?
Program Design
Program Implementation
•
To what degree is this program aligned with
industry standards and expectations?
•
Does this program have appropriate
materials to facilitate learning?
•
How clearly has this program articulated its
goals and objectives?
•
Do I have the right facilities for delivering the
program effectively?
•
To what degree have we identified the
necessary entry skills and knowledge of our
participant population?
•
Does the scheduling allow for adequate
delivery of the content?

My Data Driven Improvement Plan
•
What data will I collect?
•
What does the data tell me about:
My students
My Program Design & Content
My Program Implementation & Resources
My Teaching Methodologies
•
Given the information from the data, what changes and
improvements can I make to improve student
outcomes?
