Something To Ponder
In the real world of the classroom, it’s
CRITICAL MASS that matters.
DEEP implementation of a FEW things
beats superficial implementation of
many things.

Collect and Analyze Data
Collect and Analyze Data
• Data Driven Decision Making Process That
• Collects Cause & Effect Data
– Cause (adult) data: professional practices, curriculum
availability, leadership decisions, etc.
– Effect (student) data: test data, attendance, student safety,
etc.
• Analyzes data to see what is needed within the
building/district
• Prioritizes needs
“Until you have data as a backup, you’re just
another person with an opinion.”
Dr. Perry Gluckman
Set Goals Based On Data
– Set SMART* Goals
• *Strategic, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely
– Goal template:
_________% of ___________ (grade level or group) students
will be proficient or above in ___________ (content area) as
measured by ____________(measurement tool/assessment)
by_______(window of assessment process or specific date).
Currently reality:__________________(the current, actual % of
students who are proficient).
Investigate Research-based
Practices
• Create a menu of research-based
strategies
• Identify indicators that will measure
the impact of the use of strategies
–Adult
–Student
Make An Action Plan
• Strategies are classroom actions that lead to
the attainment of the goal
• Strategies need to be:
– Action-Oriented
– Measurable/Accountable
– Specific
– What the teacher, principal, parents will do
– What training is needed and indicators of its
implementation
Implement and Monitor
• The following needs to be in place
• Explicit steps for monitoring SMART goals
• Key people identified and types of data to be collected and
analyzed
• Includes process for reporting
– To building leadership from classroom/grade level teams
– From the building to the Superintendent and Building
Parents (School Leadership)
– To the Board and Community (Superintendent)
• Outlines a process for midcourse correction and reporting
Evaluate Effectiveness
& Sustain Efforts
• Process should have a system that has
• Planned results compared with achieved outcomes
• Reports made by building leadership to staff,
parents and superintendent about what was
learned and what will continue to apply to the next
improvement plan
• Reports made by superintendent to staff, parents,
board and community about what were results,
what was learned and what will continue to apply
to the next improvement plan
