So.. After reviewing vocabulary assessment data, teachers discuss options at a team meeting and use the PDSA process
They define how they are currently teaching vocabulary (flowcharts)
The team determines what other in-process measures they could use to see how students are doing in vocabulary and they collect data (run charts & pareto diagrams) to get baseline
The team reviews the baseline data they collected and discuss root causes for the results they see (cause & effect diagrams & relations diagrams)
Once root causes are identified, each member researches articles and best practices related to vocabulary instruction and submits the best to the group (improvement theory)

The team writes an action plan to carry out the improvement theory in their classrooms. Members practice newly-learned strategies (improvement theory), and measure the effectiveness of the strategies
Members coach each other & may go into each others classroom to observe and provide feedback
Members monitor student data to determine effectiveness of strategies (compare to baseline)
Members reflect, observe, practice, receive feedback, gain expertise and standardize the new vocabulary instruction practice (new flowchart)
Teams continue to use the PDSA cycle to make improvements in the realm of their professional learning community

From High Stakes Assessment to In-Process Measures
• Mistaken Belief: “It’s the adults who use assessment results to make the most important instructional decisions…”
• Mistaken Belief: “The most important decisions are made annually based on annual high-stakes tests”
What Do Your In-Process Measures Look Like?
• Give some examples of “in process” measures?
• How would you use them in…–The Data Center
–Student Data Folders
–PDSA Efforts?

The Problem- Students aren’t waiting to be called on during instruction
Define the SystemFlow Chart
I have an idea
I raisemy hand
Did my teacher call my name?
Blurting out anyway
Share myidea out loud
no

Let’s figure out what’s causing the problem
Analyze CausesForce Field Analysis
• Driving Forces
• We have good ideas
• Sometimes we remember
• Restraining Forces
• We get excited
• We have a lot to say
• We forget
• We don’t like to wait

Let’s try something different to improve the behavior
DOTry Out Improvement Theory
• IF we try hard to remember to raise our hands, and hang the run chart in a place we can all see to help us remember,
• THEN, we will remember to raise our hands before we speak instead of talking out.

What is a PDSA Storyboard?
A graphical representation of continuous improvement efforts
Purpose: To communicate progress to stakeholders
Includes meaningful artifacts, data and quality tools
Is organized around the PDSA wheel
