9. 9 Why set data fields? To help us determine where to focus our time, energy, and resources.

10. 10 THREE QUESTIONS DATA FIELD 1.What group of students do we want to impact? 2.What benchmark (bar) do we want them to reach? DATA TARGET 3.(goal) How many of the group will reach that benchmark by a given date?

11. 11 QUESTIONS 1 and 2 DATA FIELDS 1. What group of students do we want to impact? 2. What benchmark (bar) do we want them to reach? Part 1:Analyze current data Part 2:Select the data fields for improvement

12. 12 Step 1: Analyze Current Data

13. 13 Analysis Questions 1.How does our current data compare to our vision data? 2.What data fields please you? 3.What data fields disturb you? 4.What evidence (if any) do you find of achievement gaps? 5.How do teacher grades compare to achievement tests scores?

18. 18 Task: Current Data Analysis 1.Individual Place sticky-notes on the poster provided to reflect your response to these questions: a.How does our current data compare to our vision data? b.What data fields concern you? c.What data fields please you? d.What evidence (if any) do you see of achievement gaps? e.How do teacher grades compare to achievement test grades? 2. Group Discuss the sticky notes FINISH – 11:15 Break as Needed

19. 19 Step 2: Select Data Fields

20. 20 WHAT IS A DATA FIELD?

21. 21 Two parts: 1. STUDENT GROUP (Who will improve?) 2. BENCHMARK (Level of performance?) Format: The data field is always expressed as a % % of (student group) who (benchmark) Example: % of 8th graders who pass 2 sem of Algebra I % of Class of 2017 who master reading vocab on ISTEP % of 9th graders who pass 2 sem of Biology. What is a data field?

22. 22 The student group will result in “Trend” or “Vertical” Data TREND: % of ____ graders who __________. VERTICAL: % of the class of ____ who _________.

23. 23 BROAD DATA FIELDS Data targets that are general in nature: 1.% of all students passing ISTEP Math (NCLB) 2.% of all students graduating (NCLB) 3.% of all ISTEP Math tests that are passing (PL221) 4.% of all ISTEP English tests that are passing (PL221) 5.% earning Core 40 diploma (IDOE) Purpose: Give a general picture of a school Problem: Don’t inform instruction

24. 24 SPECIFIC DATA FIELDS Purpose – Inform Instruction Specific Student Groups  Low Income students Special education students Students in a targeted ethnic group Students in “Homework Club” Specific Benchmarks  Specific standard or set of standards Specific course Specific classroom assessment

25. 25 Examples of Specific Data Fields GROUPBENCHMARK % of 8th Grade Free / Reduced whoPass 2 sem of Alg I % of5th Graderswho Earn rubric score of 3 on in- class paragraph assignment % of 11th Grade Girls whoPass 2 sem of Chem I % of4th Gradewho Earn mastery score on classroom benchmark test % of 4th Grade Hispanic Who Earn mastery score on classroom benchmark test

26. 26 Relationship Between Broad and Specific % of all students passing ISTEP math (NCLB) % of third graders passing ISTEP math % of Hispanic students passing ISTEP math % of all students mastering the “Algebra & Functions” standard on ISTEP % of students meeting the math benchmarks on the district benchmark test

27. 27 THINGS TO CONSIDER

28. 28 Consider InSAI Data Field Requirements 1 % of all ISTEP Eng & Math tests for a non- mobile group of students (126 days) that are passing (BROAD – PL221) 2 At least one Indiana academic standard to inform instruction (SPECIFIC) 3 At least one student group showing an achievement gap to inform instruction (SPECIFIC)

29. 29 Consider NCLB and PL221 NCLBPL221 * % of students passing ISTEP Math % of students passing ISTEP Eng % graduating (HS only) % graduates scoring ___ on AP tests % graduates earning ___ on End-of-Course tests % graduates earning Core 40 diploma %graduates earning Academic Honors Diploma * For high school placement in top two DOE categories

30. 30 Consider School’s AYP Report on DOE Website

31. 31 Consider District Achievement Goals Indianapolis Public Schools 1. ISTEP+ Language Arts – Each student group 2. ISTEP+ Math – Each student group 3. Writing Standard – Your Choice 4. Reading Standard – Your Choice 5.Math Standard – Your Choice 6.Promotion Rate

32. 32 NCA Goals Triangulation of Data InSAI DATA FIELDS (could be used as NCA support data) NCA GOAL GROUPBENCHMARK% % of all students WHOWHO pass ISTEP English33% Reading Across the Curriculum % of all students WHOWHO earning a C or better in second semester English 72% % of 3 rd grade WHOWHO master the Reading Comprehension standard on ISTEP 45%

33. 33 Consider the Current School Improvement Plan GROUPBENCHMARK % of who

34. 34 MAKING THE SELECTION

35. 35 SELECTING THE DATA FIELDS 1. Which group of students would you like to impact? 2. What benchmark (bar) do you want them to reach? TASK 1:Write your thoughts on the Data Field Personal Reflection sheet. TASK 2:Transfer your suggestions to the Instagraph TASK 3:Complete the instagraph

36. 36 Next Steps Steering Team will... 1.Recommend data fields Based on input from the faculty, community and students 2.Recommend data targets 3.Ask you to review their recommendations
