Administering the C.I. Deployment Instrument April 6th, 2007

What are we doing? o The CRCSD is measuring progress of the District’s guiding philosophy of “Continuous

Improvement.” (District Balanced Scorecard Measure: Increase % of staff implementing practices of the 4 Quality Levels- as measured by the Deployment Instrument).

How will we do it? o A Zoomerang survey will be used (The online survey will take 10-15 minutes) o An email will be sent to all participants with a hyperlink included. This link will take

participants to a web site with further instructions. The link will also be posted on the Continuous Improvement web site.

o Using the survey, teachers will indicate their progress of implementing the 4 Quality Levels in their classroom. (*Note- It is important that teachers respond accurately. Results will not be used for evaluation purposes, but to signify where further support is needed).

Who will take the survey? o This year’s focus is to gather information on the classroom implementation of continuous

improvement. o All classroom teachers will complete the self-assessment survey:

o Classroom Teachers o Special area teachers (Art, Music, PE, Exploratory, Electives) o Special Education teachers o Other o *Note; counselors and media specialists are not expected to complete the survey

this year, but may choose to do so (use other category).

How will the results be shared? o The District will share summary information with all schools. Data will be used by

the school to plan staff development and other support to schools. o The BLT will receive the school summary and share it with staff. Data will be used

to identify strengths/areas for improvement. o The school improvement plan may be updated to include strategies to increase

deployment of the 4 Quality Levels at the school.

Discuss the process (handout)How will you present it to the staff?

Key speaking points:Accuracy of reporting progressNon-evaluative, not individualized It is a process to see “where are we?”When completing the self-assessment, ask “is

this a regular part of my classroom system?” (if teachers have trouble defining it, it is likely they are not implementing it)

What clarification is still needed?
