RTTT Road Map
Six Shifts of DDI
• Data belongs with teachers
working collaboratively
Shifts in Data Driven Instruction
Shift
1
Data belongs
with teachers
working
collaboratively
Collaboration of teachers is expected and valued. Teachers work
together and take collective responsibility for student learning.
Sufficient time for meaningful collaboration is built into every
schedule. Protocols are in place to guide data inquiry processes.
Shift
2
Emphasis on
formative
assessment
A balanced assessment system uses classroom assessments,
common formative assessments, common interim assessments, and
summative assessments to paint a balanced picture of student
progress. Unlike summative assessments, formative assessments
take on a more prominent role in the balanced assessment system
due to the quality and immediacy of the data collected. To reflect this
importance, common assessments are calendared, administered,
scored, and analyzed collaboratively.
A guaranteed and viable curriculum is provided to all students and
drives the assessment system. Teachers clearly identify,
communicate, and assess the knowledge, skills, and dispositions
that are the priority for each unit and course.
• Emphasis on formative assessment
• Assess what is important
Shift
3
Assess what is
important
• Take meaningful action
Shift
4
Take
meaningful
action
Rather than waiting on summative data, teachers quickly respond to
the data gathered from formative and interim assessments. It is this
careful examination of student work that creates the foundation for
all current and future curriculum, program, and instructional
decisions.
The status quo can never be an option. All educators must
constantly search for better ways to achieve mutual goals and
increase achievement for all students. All programs, policies, and
practices are continually assessed on their contribution to student
learning.
The power of formative assessments are only truly recognized when
students are included as users of the data. Therefore, students must
play an integral role in the assessment process. Students must be
able to assess and monitor their own progress in order to set
individual goals for learning.
