Introduction to Diagnosing, Planning and Monitoring for School

Transformation

Entering school transformation• Identified as a Priority School under the Rhode Island System of

Accountability, which takes into account student proficiency rates and distinction rates on standardized tests, progress toward meeting federal targets, closing gaps for subgroups, student growth, and graduation rates.

The process• 3-5 years of implementation during which the school will remain a

Priority School– Eligible for “rising” label after 2 full years, exit after 3 years

Exit

RIDE will monitor standardized test scores, as well as other indicators, and calculate the school’s accountability score (CIS) as evidence toward possible exit.

– Meet 80% of federal targets OR – Sustain a CIS in the “Typical” range (50+) on the RI report card

for the most recent 3 years.

The Big Picture

Diagnosis, Intervention Selection, and Planning• Up to 6 months; complete by Dec

Implementation and Quarterly Progress Monitoring• First meeting Feb/March

Change for students happens when the school, district, and state- share a common understanding of current performance- hold each other accountable - base decisions on a wide range of locally relevant data - make frequent and systematic adjustments to implementation

We keep the decision-making as close to the school as possible: you choose your interventions, you choose the ways that you will implement interventions, you choose the data that you will use to track your progress and make changes along the way.

RIDE Facilitated School Reform Planning

• What will this intervention look like at our school?

• What are the most important, on-going processes that are part of it?
