  4. Background and Overall Approach Delaware’s SLDS grant provides access to data stored in the Ed Insight Data Warehouse through two methods: Teacher Reports Teacher Views Dashboard (released) Report Portal (Beta) School Admin Reports School Admin Views Ad Hoc District Level Reports District Level Views State Level Views (future) SLDS Webinar 1-17-14

  5. Background and Overall Approach 2012-2013 • LEAs (19 school districts and 21 charter schools) provide 90 minutes per week of PLC time. • Focus was on data-driven instructional decisionmaking. • DDOE provided 29 data coaches to work with LEA-supplied data coaches. This structure allowed for us to follow the train-the-trainer model. 2013-2014 • 90 minute PLC time continues but DDOE data coaches reduced to 4. • SLDS Grant provides trainers who provide the professional development for the Ed Insight Dashboard. SLDS Webinar 1-17-14

  6. Training and Professional Development Dashboard Professional Development Methods: • Online Training Videos – We developed 4 videos for teachers and 5 videos for administrators. These are streaming videos that the end users can view on their own time. • Presentations at LEAs – Theseexposed users to the Dashboard. These sessions usually have a variety of users in the audience so they are more generic in structure. We use face-to-face training sessions that are hands-on. • Specialized Positional Group Workshops – We expandedhands-on sessions for specific user groups such as teachers, counselors, instructional specialists and building administrators. These are more time consuming but effective. This is our preferred delivery method. • Internal DDOE presentations – We continue to use a multi-pronged approach trying to provide professional development to increase usage, to promote the state developed applications/tools, and to help us get more penetration at the district levels.

  7. Differentiating Support for Teachers and Administrators Teacher Training • Teachers only have access to their own students. • This is a very straightforward approach and can be covered in 1 hour. Administrator Training • Before working with the Dashboard, the trainers go over such things as metrics, thresholds, and goal definitions. • Then they are introduced to the live data for about 2.5 hours. There are charts, graphs, exports, and drilldowns for each metric. • These sessions cover multiple user views. SLDS Webinar 1-17-14

  8. Lessons Learned and Effective Practices Train-the-Trainer versus Face-to-Face • We began with more train-the-trainer sessions through the PLC times but now we have switched to a more face-to-face approach. • Eliminated a layer of potential interference. • Provides better feedback. • Delivers feedback to our development team for more in-depth discussions and analysis. Structure the Audience • Using the individual positional training allows for the professional development to be customized exactly for each of the user groups. • Guidance Counselors-SATs • Teachers-Interventions • School Administrators-Watch Lists • District Administrators-School Performance Indicators SLDS Webinar 1-17-14

  9. Lessons Learned and Effective Practices Marketing, Marketing, Marketing • When products are optional there is a feeling that everyone will want to use them. WIIFM • We failed to adequately market our Dashboard internally within the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE). • We are now talking about how multiple products work together to supplement each other. Professional Development • You can never have enough trainers. SLDS Webinar 1-17-14

  11. Georgia’s Path to Personalized Learning Background and Overall Approach Audience Longitudinal Data Actionable Info Resources Metrics • LDSProvides longitudinal data and • analysis to assist in differentiation of their students. • Tools: • Dashboards • Reports • LEXILE Reading Scores • Growth Model • District Data Exchange • TRL 2.0 • Provides teachers with ability to quickly find digital resources and professional development that are aligned to standards. • Tools: • IIS-Digital Resources linked to Common Core • TRL 2.5 Provides districts with the ability to load local resources. • Tools: • IIS- Learning Object Repository • TRL 3.0 • Provides teachers with the ability to assign and monitor use of digital resources to students. Provides student with access to personalized learning. • Tools: • IIS-Learning Management System • Individual Education plans/Response to Intervention System • TRL 4.0 • Provides teachers with the ability to measure effectiveness of instruction. • Tools: • IIS-Learning Progression Maps • IIS-Data Analysis Tool • Formative Assessment Load • Online Assessment System • Financial Systems Personalized Learning Environment for Every K12 Student Teachers & Students/Parents Electronic Backpack • Improve Teacher Skills • Tools: • IIS-Professional Development System • Tool kit for teacher prep program • Measure Teacher Skills • Tools: • Performance Index • Growth Model • Observations • Surveys • IIS-High School Feedback Report • IIS-Data Analysis Tool Teachers, School & District Personnel LDS – Longitudinal Data System TRL – Teacher Resource Link IIS – Instructional Improvement System High Quality 21st Century Classroom Instruction SLDS Webinar 1-17-14

  12. Background and Overall Approach School Districts • 192 Target Audiences • Administrators - 40,000 • Teachers - 120,000 • Students - 1,700,000 • Parents - 3,000,000 SLDS Webinar 1-17-14

  13. Training and Professional Development Variety of Training Options • Face-to-Face • Online • Manuals • Summits • Train-the-Trainer Secondary Training for New Functions • Governance team composed of district staff set priorities • Deliver new functions in 6 week sprints • Incorporate teachers’ innovational use of tools into training SLDS Webinar 1-17-14

  14. Differentiating Support forTeachers and Administrators Training Differentiation • Tools used vary greatly between administrators and teachers • Teachers use the tools for classroom instruction • Administrators use the tools for analysis Training Preferences • Teachers prefer face-to-face training in small groups • Administrators prefer large group summits • Manuals and online courses act as secondary reference materials • Train-the-trainer is primarily only done in larger school districts • All groups like to be trained using their real data, not training data • A dedicated training group is essential SLDS Webinar 1-17-14

  15. Lessons Learned and Effective Practices Governance • The districts need to take ownership of the tools; the state’s role is to support the tools • A governance body composed of district staff needs to set priorities Development and Release of Functionality • The more integrated functionality you have the more the data will be used • Release functions in smaller pieces more frequently • A dedicated training group is essential Motivation to Use the System • Steer clear of mandates • Provide functionality that eases the administrative burden on teachers and administrators • Provide positive incentives (your new NCLB waiver) • Get the principals as champions SLDS Webinar 1-17-14

  17. Background and Overall Approach Background and Approach • K12 LDS (statewide) launched in SY2010–2011 • Student > School > Complex Area > State • SY2010–2011: Principals and SEA leadership • SY2011–2012: Support Staff • SY2012–2013: Teachers and teacher prep programs Reasoning • Principals and SEA leadership: Needed their buy-in and support. • Support Staff: Best means of wide-spread adoption • Practitioners • Data Users • Teachers: Need for historical information on students • Teacher prep programs: Encourage even more data use SLDS Webinar 1-17-14

  18. Training and Professional Development Training and Professional Development • Why are we here today, and what’s this thing I’ve been hearing about? • Tool navigation • Available data • Privacy • What does this mean? How can I use these data? • Definitions • Common uses of the available data • Why is this number this way? • Data quality • Business rules • Additional Q&A SLDS Webinar 1-17-14

  20. Lessons Learned and Effective Practices Battle Scars • Understand need of the user group prior to training • Encourage questions • Keep school staffs together • If not familiar with data use, at least familiar with school’s context and narrative • Use session as a means of gathering feedback • Improve the tool • Improve processes • Improve training • Piggyback on, or consolidate existing efforts • Use existing efforts to spread the word • Create new efforts to consolidate like-efforts • Create a sandbox environment for teacher prep programs SLDS Webinar 1-17-14
