GRAIN SIZE VISUAL: GOAL, STRATEGY, ACTION, TASK AND INDICATOR DEFINITIONS Goal – A broad statement that specifies a desired change: 1) in student performance to close a gap or 2) an improved opportunity or potential for improved learning; and identifies the end results to be achieved within a given timeframe. Strategy – A key approach the district will implement; written as a specific, measurable statement about what is going to be accomplished to meet a need and get closer to reaching a goal within a given timeframe. Action Steps – Specific steps to operationalize a strategy and reach a goal. Tasks – A list of activities that need to be done in order for someone to complete an action. Multi-year Goal Indicator – Goal indicators are the gauges by which a goal is determined to be met. Annual Goal Target – Goal targets are the gauges by which an annual goal is determined to be met or to be achieved. Adult Implementation and Student Performance Indicators – Strategy indicators are the gauges by which a strategy is determined to be met in terms of student performance and adult practices. A Baseline Measure establishes a starting point. Progress Measures assess short-term measures of change. Adult Implementation and Student Performance Indicators – Strategy indicators are the gauges by which a strategy is determined to be met in terms of student performance and adult practices. A Baseline Measure establishes a starting point. Progress Measures assess short- term measures of change.

Strategy Indicators  Adult Implementation Indicators  Student Performance Indicators

Strategy Indicator Criteria DATA IS Available, Reliable, Accurate Collected on Regular Basis Understandable Easily Communicated Cost Effective

Indicator Examples Adult Implementation: 100% of teachers K-12 will use quality district-adopted formative reading comprehension assessments to inform instruction. Student Performance: Formative assessments will show no students at risk.

By 2016, 100% of students in Grades pK-12 will reach proficiency level or above on all state required assessments and/or locally developed summative assessments Implement and monitor district- identified non- fiction literacy strategies in all instructional settings pK-12 Based on 80% proficiency and above in 2012, the annual goal target will be to increase student performance on all state required assessments and/or locally developed summative assessments by 5% annually. Adult Implementation Indicator: 100 % of all classroom teachers preK-12 will use district-identified non-fiction literacy strategies as part of instruction, as indicated by walk-through data Student Performance Indicator: 100 % of all students K-12 will perform at proficient level or above on non-fiction literacy quarterly district summative assessments. Implement and monitor district- identified non- fiction literacy strategies in all instructional settings pK-12

Important to Remember! OIP Strategy  Focused  Feasible  Practical  Based on previous identification of priorities  Consistent with current research  Written using clear jargon-free language  Often multiyear OIP Indicator  The gauge for measuring effectiveness of implementation of strategies  Monitors Progress through Data Collection that is Available Reliable Understandable Realistic Cost effective

Establishing Indicators How and when will we measure progress?

Group Work Time: Create Indicators  Use Questions Handouts  Check Indicators using Focused Plan Descriptor Checklist, Indicators Section

 Share Indicators with Full Team  Describe How Indicators meet Criteria  Refine Indicators based on Team Feedback Evaluate and Refine Indicators
