MODULE 5: DATA BASED DECISION

MAKING

Data Analysis—How will we know to make changes?

THREE TIERED MODEL

SMART GOALS S—specific, clearly stated, simple M—measurable based on quantifiable

data A—Attainable and realistic R—Related to student performance and

achievement T—Time bound

DATA??? Baseline: Data before interventions are put

in place

Aim line or goal: How much you want to achieve

Graph the data to determine whether or not progress is being made.

PROGRESS MONITORING Key features of effective formative evaluation systems

Student performance is measured frequently (e.g., once/week) and results in quantitative data

Progress is monitored toward an observable, measurable, and ambitious goal

Progress is graphed and viewed regularly Data decision rules are used to evaluate the effectiveness of

interventions and determine when modifications to interventions are needed

PROGRESS MONITORING Valid Reliable Fidelity of data

LET’S PRACTICEActivity 1

DATA ANALYSIS Comparison

What are you comparing?What is the standard for comparison?How do you know if you are making

progress?

DEVELOP DECISION-MAKING RULES FOR PROGRESS MONITORING

How will I know if the student is making adequate progress?

Two general types of decision-making plans 3-Point or 4-Point Decision-Making Trend line Analysis

DATA DRIVEN DECISIONS FOR TIER II AND TIER III How will I know if I need to change

interventions? How will I know if enough progress has

been made? When will I know if the Tier level needs

to change? Do I have appropriate documentation?

DATA DECISIONS AT TIER I Have we looked at the data?
