Can you imagine working at Microsoft and not focusing on software, or at
General Motors and not focusing on building cars? That's what the
schools were doing. We had forgotten that academic achievement is the
core of our business.
—Major General John Stanford

Problem• Regular meetings with between teachers
and instructional leaders (principals and assistant principals) are frequently significantly constrained by time.

Problem• How can a data
dialogue be completed with a teacher in 30 minutes? A data dialogue that can make a difference in student learning?

Spend time with colleagues piloting the adapted “Thirty Minute Data Dialogue” for classroom
discussions

Outcomes:
(1) Develop facilitation skills using a thirty minute protocol for evaluating classroom level data.
(2) Pilot the proposed protocol for thirty minute data dialogue

What: Work through the proposed process of a “data dialogue” for the
those of us short on time
Why: Develop skills at facilitating important discussions about improving teaching practice
How: Using actual teacher data while playing the role of principal and teacher.

Predictions and Assumptions
• With what assumptions are we entering?
• What are some predictions we are making?
• What are some questions we are asking?
• What are some possibilities for learning that this experience presents to use?
![Page 12: 30 Minute Data Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5590363c1a28abf92c8b4786/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Explorations and Observations
• What important points seem to “pop-out”?• What are some patterns, categories or trends that are
emerging?• What seems to be surprising or unexpected?• What are some things we have not explored?
![Page 13: 30 Minute Data Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5590363c1a28abf92c8b4786/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Explanation
• What inferences/explanations/conclusions might we draw?
• What additional data sources might we explore to examine our explanations?
![Page 14: 30 Minute Data Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5590363c1a28abf92c8b4786/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Taking Action
What are some solutions we might explore?
What are the data we will need along the way to examine the implementation of our solution?
![Page 15: 30 Minute Data Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5590363c1a28abf92c8b4786/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Scale of analysis affects the relevance of certain data and the use of the “data
dialogue”

System Level
• Trying see through the complexity of a structure. Need to analyze the interdependencies.
• Focus on multiple measures: survey (affective), demographics, student achievement, and program data.
• Data Dialogue can be implemented from activating through action.
• Significant time is spent on observation (repeatedly requesting new data) and cause (evaluating many potential reasons for trends and patterns)

Individual Level
• Objective is to act on data rapidly o improve learning for individual students or small groups of students.
• Activating and Engaging is of reduced importance and root cause is frequently skipped.
• Focus is on changing instructional practice given available information.
• Not systemic, but largely individual. (Should be impacted by systems change )

Key to a good dialogue is facilitation…
![Page 27: 30 Minute Data Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5590363c1a28abf92c8b4786/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Characteristics of Well Facilitated Data Dialogue
Focused on improving student achievementFocused on factors that can be impacted by dialogue participantsUses exploratory language (Wellman and Lipton)
![Page 28: 30 Minute Data Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5590363c1a28abf92c8b4786/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Characteristics of Well Facilitated Data Dialogue
Open-ended questions are essential (Wellman and Lipton)Facilitator focuses on making clear that administration works to make teachers successful.Always leave with a task.

Characteristics of Well Facilitated Data Dialogue
•Choose a focus for the discussion. Today we will focus on the classroom level reading data.•Choose a format for the data that is easy to read. Teachers are always encouraged to bring their own data, in addition to anything available through district technology. Set ground rules for the discussion and enforce them. No fault, no blame for the data. Ask questions and describe the data before seeking cause or understandingLook to learn, not to confirm belief or bias

Step #1 in Thirty Minute Data Dialogue
• Develop relationship and set expectations (most done before hand)(30 seconds to 1 minute)
– Write a memo to your staff that describes your expectations. Identify the reason, focus, and end products for these dialogues
– Make sure norms are shared (no blaming teacher or student)
![Page 34: 30 Minute Data Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5590363c1a28abf92c8b4786/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Step #2 in Thirty Minute Data Dialogue
• Observation (student data)(5-6 minutes)
• Activity #1: Mark-up– Analyze data and mark areas that are
striking. Individuals are also expected to write questions that arise concerning these data.
– What important points seem to “pop-out”?– What are some patterns, categories or trends
that are emerging?
![Page 35: 30 Minute Data Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5590363c1a28abf92c8b4786/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Step #3 in Thirty Minute Data Dialogue
• Debrief of Observation (5 minutes)
• Activity #2: Discussion between principal and teacher– What observations were in common? What
observations did you not have in common? Do you agree they were striking?
![Page 36: 30 Minute Data Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5590363c1a28abf92c8b4786/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Step #4 in Thirty Minute Data Dialogue
• Curriculum Brief Evaluation (3 minutes)
• Activity #3: Quick View of Curriculum– Review the curriculum for the upcoming
period (month, unit, etc…). Write any questions regarding curriculum for this period.
![Page 37: 30 Minute Data Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5590363c1a28abf92c8b4786/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Step #5 in Thirty Minute Data Dialogue
• Curriculum Questions (2 minutes)
• Activity #4: Rapid Answer Session– Answer as many curriculum questions
as you can in 2 minutes. At the end of two minutes the principal will take ownership for following up with the teacher.
![Page 38: 30 Minute Data Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5590363c1a28abf92c8b4786/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Step #6 in Thirty Minute Data Dialogue
• Fill-in the Blank (5 minutes)
• Activity #5: Identify student strengths and weaknesses– My students will have trouble with [blank].
Fill-in the blank with the curriculum power standard and also answer why (clear about which students are going to struggle and which are not)?
![Page 39: 30 Minute Data Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5590363c1a28abf92c8b4786/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Step #7 in Thirty Minute Data Dialogue
• Follow-up on Fill-in the Blank (5-7 minutes)
• Activity #6: Creating an Action Step– Given that some of my student are going to
struggle on [blank] what can I do as a teacher to mitigate the impact and ensure that students are all ma progress towards proficiency?
– What are you going to start doing, stop doing, and keep doing based on the data analysis.

Step #8 in Thirty Minute Data Dialogue
• Closing (2 minutes)
• Activity #7: Creating Next Steps– Make sure that both the principal and the
teacher can answer the following questions:• How will my principal know that I am doing
it? • What am I expected to produce as end
products to these dialogues? • What am I expected to do with these end
products?
