6 6 CIITS School District Highlight Data analysis protocols developed: regular scheduled proficiency checks are done using CIITS.  Each month teachers in their PLC’s review and analyze student assessment data using Data Analysis Protocol sheets created by the district. Building capacity in the district: CAO/DTC attended regional trainings offered by the GRREC Education Cooperative. They conducted small group trainings at each grade level in each school, and also offered an optional PD that teachers could attend on a flexible PD day (plan to use RTTT funds for school level coaches).  As a result, CIITS “go to people” (early adopters) have emerged in each school.

7 7 “The CIITS program is helping improve Math instruction at the 4 th grade level. By using the results and immediate feedback from each assessment, I am able to pinpoint the areas of strength and the areas that need improvement and reteach or provide individualized instruction. Having the bank of questions, directly aligned with each standard, available when I’m creating assessments takes the guesswork out of creating questions that are aligned with the standards and meeting the depth of knowledge necessary to prepare my students for success on the state test.” -Jennifer Coldiron, 4 th grade teacher at Hopkins Elementary School “I have used CIITS data (Item Analysis) from proficiency measures to reflect on what I have taught and it has shown me what I need to re-teach, as well as what my students are not understanding.” -Teresa Bach, 2 nd grade teacher at Hopkins Elementary School “CIITS has become an integral part of my planning. I use the skills and item analysis to decide which skills I need to reteach – and to whom I need to reteach. I am using CIITS as a piece of info when it comes to intervention. I have become a much better test maker and administrator because of CIITS. I also use CIITS to know FOR SURE which skills have been mastered – allows me to differentiate instruction. The resources at the bottom of the home page allow me to share resources not only within my classroom but to parents as well.” -Cindy Mounce, 1 st grade teacher at Hopkins Elementary School

13 Interventions Custom Tab in IC Beginning in January 2014, schools will be required to enter information on intervention plans for students into Infinite Campus. The new Intervention Tab, a custom state tab developed by KDE, will collect intervention data for students in kindergarten through 12 th grade. The Intervention Tab will collect data on the nature of interventions that students are receiving and the outcomes of those interventions. Training will be forthcoming to aid schools as they prepare for using this tab within Infinite Campus. Questions on the intervention tab design can be directed to April Pieper at april.pieper@education.ky.gov or Nick Easter at nick.easter@education.ky.govapril.pieper@education.ky.govnick.easter@education.ky.gov
