Data Analysis TrainingPDP Goals & Strategies
September, 2009
Why Use Data?• Federal NCLB & State Professional
Development Protocol Guidelines– All teachers and administrators must annually
write a PDP goal that is based on current student data
– Administrators must meet with teachers in the initial stages to finalize and approve PDP goal and strategies
Why use data?
• Identification of specific skills leads to a more accurate diagnosis of strengths and weaknesses which will result in increased student performance
Data Considerations• By basing instruction on the specific
strengths and weakness (student needs), teachers become more effective
Data Considerations
• What gets measured, gets done!
Data Teams Support Teachers
School Findings
Sub-group Findings
Grade Level Findings
Individual Teacher Findings
Focus on Individual Teacher Sub-Groups
Kinds of Data• FCAT (SMART) “sub groups”• STAR (reading levels)• Classroom grades• Classroom/Benchmark Assessments• SuccessMaker• READ 180• FAIR Assessments• ThinkLink
Teacher Improvement
What must students learn?What does effective instruction look like?How is mastery assessed?
Data Team Priorities
• Help teachers identify sub groups• Help teachers identify strategies to
address student needs– Learning Communities– Book Studies– Training, Mentoring
• Help teachers identify ways they can monitor the progress of their sub groups
Special Considerations When Monitoring Improvement
– What were the standards taught?– How were the standards taught?– When were the standards taught?– What was the frequency taught?– What did more successful teachers do?
Part IIProfessional Development Goal• Specific in terms of target area for improvement and be written in the
future tense.
• Measurable in terms of the desired improvement in student performance.
• Attainable in light of available resources and conditions.
• Relevant to continuous quality improvement of instruction and student performance.
• Track able with the context of flexibility and shall specify a completion date.
Data Team Priorities• Use Reading, Math Coaches, Academic
Intervention Specialists to provide training and facilitate learning communities to address student needs
• School Needs Assessment Form should reflect teacher PDP needs (Inservice Reps)
Sample PDP Goals
• Blue Sheet
PDP Goal Writing Activity 1. Using real-time teacher data from your
school on SMART select a teacher and evaluate current student data– Write practice goals based on the data and
what you have learned today
2. Create an “action plan” for your Data Team to begin helping teachers analyze data and write PDP goals (October 23rd)
Good Luck!
