Data+Protocols

Protocols are methods of pulling data from various sources in order to make sense of it. Below you will find sample Data Protocols that we've developed or that have been shared with us within our district.

= NEW! Data Observations & At Risk Lists=

= NEW! Data Points & Guiding Questions for Student Data Collection & Monitoring=

=**What Do You See in These Data?**= Check out this video of Dr. Elizabeth City of the Harvard Graduate School of Education as see talks about the use of data protocols to analyze data. media type="custom" key="21745484"

=**Data Analysis Protocol**= The file below contains a guide you can use for data analysis. It includes the "Here's What, So What?, Now What?" template along with suggestions for analyzing data, setting goals and analyzing results. = = =**Benchmark Data Analysis Protocols**= = = =**10 Item Common Assessment Analysis Protocol**= // Comments about the 10-Item Common Assessment Protocol: // // “The 10-Item Common Assessment Protocol is now set up by grade level on our T-drive so we can have results on one document and keep electronic records of our common assessment analysis that everyone can access. The teachers all liked this.” //

=**Guiding Questions for Analyzing Common Assessments**= = = =**Looking Back Protocol**= The "Looking Back" protocol uses ABC Growth sheets, goal summaries, and disaggregated data from DPI to identify strengths and challenges. = = =**Looking Forward Protocol**= The "Looking Forward" protocols ask teachers to begin their data notebooks with a teacher spreadsheet which they build from DASH. Teachers of Language Arts 4-9, Math 4-9, English I and Algebra I can use the Custom Reports in DASH to get spreadsheets. Teachers of Grade 3 can also use the Custom Reports, but their information will be mainly demographic. They can use either protocol. The "Looking Forward all" is for all other teachers and allows them to build their teacher spreadsheet using indicators that they pull into their class in the List/Table view. = = =**K-2 Assessment - Marks Analysis Data Protocol**= // Comments about the K-2 Data Analysis Protocol: // // “We used the K-2 Data Analysis Protocol with our teachers and it sparked some good reflection and conversation in our PLC’s. The protocol was very user friendly and the reference to our SMART goal was helpful because we could easily see if we were on track.” // // “The first time we used the K-2 Data Analysis Protocol for grade level and individual analysis, we noticed that there was a huge discrepancy in our experienced teachers' proficiency and our new teachers' proficiency in some of the areas. The conversation quickly showed that the new teachers were assessing in a manner that was a bit confusing. The experienced teachers easily showed them better ways to assess, were remorseful that they had not anticipated this as a problem and the next nine weeks, the scores were much better. In fact, we spent the next PLC meeting with some of our other teachers modeling the assessment process, etc.” // // “At one of my schools, one of my teachers has had to own and be accountable for the fact that her proficiency scores were far lower than the others...this has lead to some difficult, but honest conversations as well as help for the teacher.” //

=**At-Risk Data Reflection**= Developed by Jamie Wallace and Barbara James, this analysis focuses on the data available in the DASH Student Intervention Report and the Marks Analysis report. It was designed to help teachers focus on students who are at-risk according to the factors tracked in the Student Intervention Report. It then questions teachers about what interventions or strategies are in place, whether they're working or not, and what next steps need to be taken to put supports in place for the student.

= NEW! EVAAS Teacher Effectiveness Reflection Protocol= Developed by Janet Ramsey and Barbara James, this analysis focuses on the teacher effectiveness data available in EVAAS. It was designed to help teachers analyze both the teacher value-added reports and school value-added reports and to assist teachers in making changes in their instruction.

=**EVAAS Instructional Planning Protocol**= The EVAAS protocol includes reflection on the previous year as well as looking forward to your current students and their needs.
