Action #1 A CTION 1: Prioritize learning supports that are most effective to impact achievement gap and post-secondary outcomes. Action 1 includes 3 Activities.

Action 1; Activity 1 Activity 1: Collect data regarding implementation and impact of learning supports services across all 4 sectors to establish baseline. Evaluation: ◦ AEA 267 Collaborative Team members will enter data regarding utilization of learning supports services by buildings within districts into a Google document for monitoring and modifying ongoing PD. ◦ Analysis/Implementation Teams will review utilization data locally. ◦ These data regarding utilization of learning supports will be reviewed annually by Sector Leadership Team. ◦ Learning Supports Team will review data regarding the effectiveness of each initiative and determine priorities..

Action 1: Activity 2 Activity 2: Use data to prioritize learning supports efforts and make recommendations to the cabinet regarding either allocating additional resources, or eliminating ineffective or redundant learning supports services. Evaluation: ◦ Using CBAM, our CIT PD Implementation subcommittee will monitor the fidelity of implementation of learning supports core works ◦ Summative data will be analyzed annually by CIT Members in order to make recommendations to the cabinet

Action 1: Activity 3 Activity 3: Monitor the ongoing impact of learning supports services on narrowing the test score gap at 4th, 8th and 11th grade and post-secondary outcomes among subgroups. Evaluation: ◦ Iowa Assessments, SPP Indicator B1 data, SPP Indicator B2 data, SPP Indicator B13 data, and other data used as a measure of post-secondary outcomes) will be analyzed annually by CIT members in order to make recommendations to the cabinet.

A CTION #2 Use (revised) Learning Support Matrix to communicate learning supports services to all staff (team reps, school contacts) and our educational partners to connect districts to the learning supports team. (via AIT, Leadership Teams, Collaborative Teams, Discipline Teams). Action 2 includes 2 Activities

Action 2: Activity 1 Activity 1: Use a common framework for analyzing district data relative to utilization of learning supports and how learning supports have impacted student achievement. Evaluation ◦ Formative/Coaching question written in a SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time bound) format. ◦ Analysis/Implementation Teams will assess utilization of learning supports locally. ◦ Results of this analyses will be shared with Sector Leadership Team and CIT for their review and discussion.

Action 2: Activity 2 Develop podcast to share information throughout the agency and LEA networks. Evaluation will be self-evident.

A CTION #3 Support districts with implementation of learning supports. Action 3 includes 1 Activity with 5 Sub- Activities.

Action 3: Activity 1 Activity 1: Examine the role of AEA support staff, school contacts, and InfoTech staff with regard to how staff will support efforts to reduce the achievement gap (B3) and improve post-secondary outcomes (B14).

5 Sub-Activities for Activity 1 Sub-Activity: Clearly communicate with staff re: their role in supporting these efforts. Sub-Activity: Determine & provide necessary PD to equip AEA staff to support implementation. Sub-Activity: Help guide development of a district implementation plan. Sub-Activity: Provide coaching while monitoring implementation Sub-Activity: Support districts in their evaluation of the impact of their Learning Supports efforts.

Activity #1 Evaluation Process Summative Assessment: ◦ Healthy Systems indicator data ◦ District Indicator Data ◦ B-13 and B-14 (BEDS) ◦ Iowa Assessment data ◦ graduation rates ◦ Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) Percentages ◦ district discipline data. Formative Assessment: Use district formative assessment measures to assess progress and adjust instruction accordingly

Evaluation/Coaching Questions Questions: ◦ How many team reps have taken Digging Deeper? ◦ How many team reps are on PBIS teams? ◦ How many EC providers have taken Early Childhood PBIS? ◦ How many team reps & WE/TS are Indicator B13 certified? ◦ How many special ed support staff have taken the DISEE course & EdInsight Training? ◦ How many team reps, school contacts, and Info/Tech staff have taken Formative Assessment PD? What AEA supports is each district involved in that support student achievement?
