How Did it Happen?
Culture Shift Curriculum was solid but despite hard work,
the school was considered unsuccessful Began to explore how we taught and what
we used to evaluate success or failure Implemented benchmark exams to
evaluate successful practices and areas in need of improvement

How Did it Happen?
Teachers Analyzing Data AND Planning Instruction
Closely examined standards and determined context vs. content issues to pinpoint student weaknesses specifically where learning deficits occurred and where our instruction was least effective
This led to discussions on what was working with what was not working
Teaching became less about what we felt was working and more about student performance
An authentic PLC was the result

Next Steps…
Underscore HOW we teach and WHAT students learn
Focus on student engagement Increase student to student, student
to teacher and teacher to student interactions

We Learn… 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we both hear and see 70% of what is discussed with others 80% of what we experience personally 95% of what we teach to someone else

Next Steps…
Clear expectations for all Communicated clear expectations for
student learning including standards-based goals and objectives
Identified common assessments to evaluate progress along the way
Publicly displayed data in common areas around the school to celebrate success and provide public forum for goal setting

Can it be Duplicated?
Obstacles remain Creating a cultural shift without the
culture “consuming” the strategies Less funding has caused the need for
greater creativity when funding interventions and little to no room for error
