  1. The Spring 2007 Progress Review WHAT TO LOOK FOR, WHAT TO DO

  2. Introductions

  3. Goals for Today • Present the results of the PDSA Improvement Cycle for the Educational Plan for Student Success • Responded to Feedback from Users • Streamline Process • Add action to the plan • Provide Rationale for changes • Link Diagnostic Assessment to Education Plan for Student Success

  4. Outcomes of this training Participants will: • Be presented the revised EPSS process; • Practice data gathering from schools on the spring template; • Review how to use AMO in planning; • Practice how to facilitate the 2007-2008 EPSS Goals for fall planning;

  5. Purpose of the Spring Progress Review site visit • Assist schools in evaluating implementation progress and effectiveness of their Diagnostic Assessment and their EPSS. • Assist schools in evaluating their effectiveness as an organization. • Assist schools in using this knowledge to design next year’s improvement plan.

  6. What has changed since last Spring? • The review now covers both Diagnostic Assessment Action Steps and EPSS strategies. • The review now concludes with the creation of a preliminary 2007-2008 EPSS. • EPSS Coordinators will need to be highly skilled to complete the process effectively.

  7. How have the forms changed? • Standards for Effective Schools • A set of standards to help analyze the school’s total structure • Includes a rubric to describe what the indicators look like. • Review of Action Steps and Strategies • Education Plan for Student Success includes a PDSA Cycle

  8. Setting the Stage…. • Spring visit gathers data in two ways: • What about DAR action steps and EPSS strategies ? • What have you noticed during the year ?

  9. Reflecting on the Year – Scene 1 • Consider three things you did this year that had the most positive effect on student achievement? • What results made you choose these three things? • Why were they so successful?

  10. Reflecting on the Year – Scene 2 • What do you consider to be the three most significant challenges or issues related to student achievement facing the school in the coming year?

  11. EPSS Strategies DAR/DAPR Action Steps Review • To what extent do the strategies and action steps on the matrix align with your top three successes and challenges listed above?

  12. Review of Action Steps and Strategies Using the templates provided, work at your tables to: • Choose 2 or 3 action steps and/or EPSS strategies; • Anticipate what your school’s leadership team would respond to template cells; • Be ready to report out to question on agenda.

  13. Revised EPSS Process • Draft to be completed in Spring for at least S2, CA, R1, & R2 schools; • Links diagnostic assessment, data analysis, target goals and recommendations for instructional strategies and intensive interventions to an action plan. • Begins with the Standards for Effective Schools

  14. 2007-2008 School Improvement FrameworkSCHOOLS IN NEED OF IMPROVEMENTSummary of PED Requirements and Recommendations

  15.

Additional recommendations for all NM Districts: • Develop a district curriculum guide that is articulated and produce for all teachers in elementary and secondary for literacy and math. • Use data to inform decisions, policy, and budgetary expenditures. • Monitor the participation of the School Advisory Council at each school site, and be able to provide evidence and schedule of those periodic meetings pertaining to issues of budget, student assessment, data, policy relating to instructional issues and curricula, parent and community involvement, and business partnerships (HB 212; NMSA 22-5-16). • Participate in Regional Baldrige Leadership Trainings and Institutes for Educators provided by the PED.
