  1. PLCs & Data: Key Drivers for Successful Response to Intervention Matthew Burns, Ph.D. University of Minnesota

  2. Contributions to Learning – Hattie 2009 • The student d = .40 • The school d = .23 • The teacher d = .49 • The curriculum d = .45

  3. Interventions for Children with LD • Reading comprehension 1.13 • Direct instruction .84 • Psycholinguistic training .39 • Modality instruction .15 • Diet .12 • Perceptual training .08 • Kavale & Forness, 2000

  4. Individualized instruction , at no cost to the parents or guardians, to meet the of a child with a disability. unique needs

  5. The answer?? “All hands on deck” – Judy Elliott, Chief Academic Officer of Los Angeles Unified Schools Education

  6. And DATA!Unique learning needs = Education that is SPECIAL

  7. Keys to SuccessSt. Paul Pioneer Press June 4th 2006 • Reading Above All Else • Emphasize reading and writing especially K-2 • Beyond the Classroom • After school programs and social services • Continuous Assessment/Small-Group Instruction • Formal and informal assessments to provide an appropriate level of challenge • Effective Staff • Strong leadership and cohesive staff with co-planning • Structured, Disciplined Environment

  8. MTSS The systematic use of assessment data to most efficiently allocate resources in order to enhance learning for all students. Burns & VanDerHeyden, 2006

  9. Professional Learning Communities • Teams of teachers • All of those who teach a particular grade level • A forum to collectively problem-solve at the school, classroom, and student level (DuFour, Eaker, DuFour, 2005) • PLCS focus on student data and a culture of collaboration (DuFour, 2005). • Many do not have common assessments, criteria to judge student proficiency, or a process to collaboratively analyze data (DuFouret al., 2005; Love, 2009).

  10. Four Purposes of Assessment Program evaluation: How is the education system working for students overall? • State test Screening: Which of my students are not meeting grade level expectations given Universal Instruction? • E.g., MAP Diagnostic: What are the specific needs of students who struggle with reading or math? E.g., measures of specific skills Monitoring Progress: What does the student’s growth look like? E.g., CBM

  11. Sensitivity = a / (a + c) = .86 for ORF and .31 for F&P, Specificity = d / (b + d) = .78 for ORF and .66 for F&P, Overall Correct Classification = (a + d) / N = .80 for ORF and .54 for F&P

  13. MTSS and Problem-Solving TIER III Measurement Precision TIER I I Measurement Frequency Problem-Analysis TIER I

  14. Problem Solving • Tier I – Identify discrepancy between expectation and performance for class or individual (Is it a classwide problem?) • Tier II – Identify discrepancy for individual. Identify category of problem. (What is the category of the problem?) • Tier III – Identify discrepancy for individual. Identify causal variable. (What is the causal variable?)

  15. Grade Level Team Meeting • Is there a classwide problem? • Who needs Tier 2? • Did we miss anyone? • What should we do for Tier 2? • Should we go to Tier 3?

  16. Developmental Activities • 1st grade – Phonemic awareness and phonics instruction • 2nd grade – Explicit phonics instruction, writing, and fluency • 3rd grade – Fluency and comprehension • 4th grade – Read to learn • Upper elementary & Middle School – Vocabulary and comprehension • High school – Comprehension and application

  17. What is the Class Median? • Median: the middle value in a list of numbers when the values are arranged from lowest to highest. • Finding the class median: • Order student scores from the lowest to highest value. • The score in the middle of the list is the median. • If there is an even number of scores, take the average of the middle two scores.

  19. What is the Class Median? MODEL Minnesota Center for Reading Research

  20. GUIDE: • Find class median for WRC and errors on the “Second Grade Practice Data” worksheet

  21. Is there a problem? Minnesota Center for Reading Research

  22. Classwide Need and Instructional PLC • What do highly effective teachers do? • What will we as a TEAM do? • How will we know if it works? • What data can we collect (outcome)? • For what will we look (process)? • How will coach provide feedback? • What will we do next? • What is the implementation plan (e.g., observe, first steps, etc.)? • Coaches role (what will be modeled/shared)? • Who else will help? • What process and outcomes will be reported at the next meeting?

  23. National Reading Panel • Google • National, reading, panel, and teachers • Tim Shanahan • Get PLCs using this

  24. Partner Reading Partnerships Minnesota Center for Reading Research

  25. Procedure Minnesota Center for Reading Research

  26. Timeline Collect Data: Pre-test (fluency and comprehension) • Day 1: Train Students on Set Up Procedures and Partner Reading, Practice Reading for 10 minutes, Error Correction • Day 2: Train Students on Paragraph Shrinking, Practice Reading for 10 minutes • Day 3-10: Partner Reading, Paragraph Shrinking 15 minutes every day Collect Data: Post-test(fluency and comprehension) Minnesota Center for Reading Research

  27. Partner Reading RULES • First Reader reads for 5 minutes. • Second Reader reads the same text for 5 minutes. • Second Reader retells for 1 minute. Talk only to your partner and only talk about Partner Reading Keep your voice low Help your partner Try your best! Minnesota Center for Reading Research

  28. Paragraph Shrinking • Name the most important who or what. • Tell the most important thing about the who or what. • Say the main idea in 10 words or less. Minnesota Center for Reading Research

  29. STOP. That word is______________ What word? ______________________ Correction Procedures Good Job! Go back and read that line again. Minnesota Center for Reading Research

  30. Point System • Transitions • Staying on task • Following correct procedures Minnesota Center for Reading Research
