  2. Common Features of Confident, Reflective People They are willing to recognize and live with their own unfinishedness,knowing that they are subject to weaknesses and sometimes failures but that the best of them is good, so very good. They know they have limitations but they also know that they can rejoice in the promise of redemption. Despite their fears, they constantly stretch their inner selves to take risks, to meet challenges. They believe in their giftedness and know that the best way to thank God for it is to continually reach into risk, discovering, and developing their hidden potential. They know how to laugh and enjoy life even in the most difficult of times; they do not take themselves so seriously as to grimace and fret through each day. They take time for solitude—to think and to pray in order to distance themselves and get a good perspective on their present situation.

  3. They have their values in proper order, recognizing that people are always more important than material things, knowing that it is only the immaterial values such as love that they will carry them into the eternal life. They nurture an intimate relationship with their God for they have learned that the more they know this wonderful God, the more they will understand how deeply He cherishes them no matter what happens in their lives. Finally, they have a vision within themselves that reminds them that their strength and power, their hope and trust, can never be mustered all by themselves. Rather, it is God in whom they find their strength and often this God gives the needed strength through the encouragement and kindness of other human beings.

  4. Knowledge Assessment Don’t Know |Have Heard | Understand|Can Teach • Forming Teams • Task of Data Teams • Types of Data • Data Analysis, Significance of Analysis • Triangulating Data, Importance of Looking at Multiple Data Points • Shareholder Engagement • Nuances in the Protocol

  5. Self Assessment • Where are you in the process? • Are teams in place? • Have surveys been sent out? • Have surveys been analyzed? • Discussions: have begun | are well under way | will begin in the fall • Writing: has begun | is well under way | will begin in the fall

  6. On why we need to ask why… In the absence of sound science, incomplete information can powerfully combine with the power of suggestion. In fact, a common thread that runs through beliefs of all sorts, he says, is our tendency to convince ourselves: We overvalue the shreds of evidence that support our preferred outcome, and ignore the facts we aren’t looking for. Michael ShermerFounder and Publisher|Skeptic Magazine

  7. Ch. 3, D: Data Analysis and Action to Support High Achievement of All Students The school uses educationally sound assessment processes to collect data. The school disaggregates and analyzes student performance data and uses the analysis as a basis for instructional/curricular improvement. • Discussion Questions • Written Narrative • Conclusion | 3-5 significant accomplishments | 1-3 significant impact • Evidence | about Appendix B

  8. Discussion Questions These questions are provided to stimulate discussion and help build the “Big Picture” of the school; not to be specifically answered in the narrative. The written narrative should synthesize the information gathered in these discussions, fully address the Accreditation Factor and respond to the writing points.

  9. Written Narrative, 1 Write a concise 3- to 5-page narrative describing how and to what extent your school uses educationally sound assessment processes to collect, disaggregate and analyze data and uses the analysis as a basis for curricular/instructional improvement.

  10. Written Narrative, 2 Conclude your narrative by describing what you discovered about the school’s Data Analysis and Action by analyzing your data. ::: What data supports this analysis? ::: What did you discover that needs to be improved?
