Today’s Objectives
• Identify/review the key principles/lessons from Paul’s summer workshop
• Apply the key principles to our situation (Analysis)
• Create a concrete plan (Action)
• Incorporate ideas you’ve learned throughout the sessions into your action plan
Creasy and Pita
Key Insights
• If you’re not at the pool, you cannot do the analysis
• Relationships matter
• Creasy went from “what” was wrong, to “why”
• The practice targeted on the exact problem
• The practice simulated the real event
• They set a specific goal that they could track
Insights Applied to Interim Assessments
• IMMEDIATE: ideal 48 hrs, max 1 wk turnaround
• USER-FRIENDLY: data reports are short but include analysis at question level, standards level and overall
• TEACHER-OWNED analysis
• TEST-IN-HAND analysis: teacher & instructional leader together
• DEEP: moves beyond “what” to “why”
Let’s Review
• Using the “Key Take Aways” handout
1. At your table jigsaw each topic among two people,
–Individually - Jot down at least one take away from each of these activities
2. Small group/Jigs
–Discuss finding collectively and record
Springsteen Case Study
• Year end results are not enough
• List of standards are not enough
• Alignment means different things to different people
• People interpret “mastery” and “rigor” differently
Assessment Analysis Role Play
• The focus should be on what students learned, not what teachers taught
• The conversation should center on the actual results of student learning.
• Looking at results together creates collaboration; it’s about moving to what to do better
• Tips for Analysis meetings
– Let the data do the talking
– Let the teacher do the talking
– Go back to the test and specific questions
– Know the data yourself
Douglas Street Case Study
• Active Leadership Team: Teacher-leader data analysis meetings; maintain focus
• Introductory Professional Development: What to do and how
• Calendar: Done in advance with built-in time for assessment, analysis, and action
• Build by Borrowing: Identify and implement best practices from high-achieving teachers and schools
Power of the Question
• Standards are meaningless until you define how you will assess them
• Assessments are the starting point, not the end point, of teaching and learning
• If you don’t define the assessments first, teachers will teach to their own level of expectations
• Curriculum maps and scope and sequences aren’t enough; teachers need assessments to guide them as to the rigor of their teaching
• In a multiple choice question, the options define rigor
MONEYBALL
Prompts
• What is Billy Beane doing differently than his peers?
• What are key ideas or insights that connect to the work you are currently undertaking?
• What about his tactics make others uncomfortable? Who is it making uncomfortable?

Managing Change
Change Management
What Do You Think?
1. Is change easy or hard?
2.What’s the 2nd biggest life change that Americans reported on a recent survey? Would you guess people resisted this change or volunteered for it?

Read pages 4 - 8
Three-Part Framework
1. Direct the Rider: What looks like resistance is often a lack of clarity. Provide crystal-clear direction.
2. Motivate the Elephant: What looks like laziness is often exhaustion. Engage people’s emotional side.
3. Shape the Path: What looks like a people problem is often a situation problem. When you shape the situation or “path” you makes change more likely.
• Driven by Data
• Pages 242-243
What to Do When There’s a “2”Core Actions to Reach DDI Proficiency
1. Read through sections on Assessments, Culture, and Analysis
2. Choose one focus area
3. Use template to reflect
4. Share feedback with a partner from your district
* 1 Required – Plan what PD you going to provide

Welcome Back From Lunch
October Sky
• How did they turn analysis into action?
• What were the strengths and weaknesses of their strategy?
October Sky Key Insights
• You need to be relentless
• Teams > individual
• Find expertise wherever you can; build on what is already known
• Isolating the problem helps you take the right action
• Keep testing your hypothesis
Action Plan Reflection
• What do you notice?
• What stands out as strengths? What stands out as weaknesses?
Process
• Individual – Read and Reflect (8 min)
• Pair – Share with a partner (4 min)
• Share with large group (8 min)
Key Insights
• Targeted/Focused
• Right-Sized
• About Instruction
• You can shape the path with templates and exemplars
Menu of Options1. Whole group re-teach
2. Short-term strategy group (e.g., two-four-day, skill-driven group)
3. Long-term strategy group (e.g., multiple weeks)
4. Individual Action Plan (Inclusion teachers only)
5. Instructional Shift (e.g., including more higher-order thinking, changing approach to vocabulary teaching, etc.)
6. Instructional Routine (e.g., 5 days of math message or slate math on PRA.1, daily fact fluency practice)
Menu of Options
• What would all of these options need to have in common?
• What’s the benefit of providing options?
Menu of Options
• Pair – Share with a partner (4 min)
• Share with large group (6 min)

Stockdale Paradox
A key psychology for leading from good to great is the Stockdale Paradox:
Retain absolute faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the
difficulties, AND at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality,
whatever they may be.
