Data Driven First Grade Classrooms TUSD Class Size Reduction Initiative 2007-2008
Objectives At the end of this session, I will be able to: • Articulate the relationship between the 4 Guiding questions and how they focus our efforts to impact student achievement. • Analyze and use available data to clarify the achievement gap that exists and expands without intervention and enrichment. • Analyze and use available data and technology resources to identify students and plan for focused instructional interventions and enrichments.
What Exactly is Data? Data is distinct pieces of information, usually formatted in special ways. It can exist in a variety of forms -- as numbers or text on pieces of paper, as bits and bytes stored in electronic memory, or as facts stored in a person's mind.
Guiding Questions • What is it that we want students to know and be able to do? • How will we know if they’ve learned it? • What will we do if they haven’t learned it? • What will we do if they have?

The Intractability of Reading Failure • To close the achievement gap in Kindergarten, it takes ~30 minutes of additional instruction each day • To close the achievement gap in 4th grade, it takes ~2 hours of additional instruction each day K 4th grade 30 min 120 min (2 hours)

Let’s Take a Look • We will explore these 3 data systems: • TUSD Stats • ATI-Galileo • DIBELS online database
TUSD Stats TUSD is data rich thanks to the TUSD Stats Web page. TUSD Stats can be found at the following address:http://tusdstats.tusd.k12.az.us

Writing • All grade levels • 4 times per school year, for most grades • Writing prompts assigned at the benchmark period (quarter 1 and 4 based on F.O.S.S.) • Teacher assesses writing ability based on 6-Traits writing rubric • Scores entered into TUSD Stats website • Data in TUSD stats can be sorted to help you make important decisions on differentiated instruction in your classroom
Writing – 6-Traits • Ideas and Content • Organization • Word Choice • Sentence Fluency • Voice • Conventions

REPORTS • There are two important reports to view: • 1. Student Assessment History • Tells me how my students did last year. • 2. Individual Profile • Students’ performance on a particular test.
Report for groups of students: Development Profile This will tell me groups of students for the specific standards.

I have the data; What do I do now? • Let’s revisit the 4 Guiding Questions: • What is it that we want students to know and be able to do? • How will we know if they’ve learned it? • What will we do if they haven’t learned it? • What will we do if they have?

Below Benchmark on DIBELS Initial Sound Fluency (for students still on Progress Monitoring from kinder) What can we do? • Harcourt activities: daily phonemic awareness activities • Explicit instruction on initial/beginning sounds • Centers and “games” that work on initial sounds • Onsets and rimes activities • Beginning sound cards – matching same beginning sounds • Alphabet sounds activities • …
Below Benchmark on DIBELS Phoneme Segmentation Fluency What can we do? • Activities that work with onsets and rimes • Blending phonemes activities • Counting phonemes activities • Objects and pictures of 2,3,4, & 5 phoneme “words” - sort by number of sounds • Oral blending and segmenting activities • …
Benchmark + on DIBELS Phoneme Segmentation Fluency What can we do? • Provide enrichment: activities involving deleting phonemes, adding phonemes & substituting initial, final, and middle phonemes • Many activities can be oral, and then move into the written
