Theory of Change:  Self Reported Grades, Student efficacy, Jigsaw, and Collective Teacher efficacy

# data[].attributes.body
Informing: Needed better uniform implementation of programs. Teachers are using purchased Chromebooks, but they are not being used in programs with fidelity. That combined with a changing student population has left us with data we were not anticipating and so there is still lots of room for improvement with ACT scores.

Theory of Change: By implementing effective digital learning strategies, students will increase their reading comprehension and application skills that will lead to improved performance on ACT and better preparation for post-secondary education.

# data[].attributes.body
Our Vision is "As a district, we will empower teachers to utilize high quality digital learning, sound pedagogy, and effective data analysis to help students develop proficiency in the 4C’s (critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity), learn and implement good digital citizenship within and outside the school, and demonstrate growth in all curriculum areas."

We aren't sure where to go from here, just yet.

Expansion
Big Idea: Increase student academic outcomes through DTL resources.
Theory of Change (Research-Based &/or Digital Innovations):
Root Cause Analyses (Why?):
1) SIS/LMS systems have been inadequate in meeting the needs of our school model. 2) SIS/LMS systems have been inadequate in communicating classroom academic progress/expectations with parents & students. 3) Not all secondary students master Algebra (or other academic content) at the classroom pace. 4) Technology in some classrooms is not available or functioning to the optimal level.
Plans, Strategies, Tactics: 1) Research and implement SIS/LMS tools to better serve teachers, parents, and students.  2) Provide self-directed Algebra Accelerator courses. Expand to other core content areas.  3) Ensure classrooms are provided with DTL audio/visual and other resources in order to deliver content in an engaging way.

Expansion.
Big Idea: Across all the disciplines, utilize technology tools to improve learning, creativity and innovation.

# data[].attributes.body
Our Big Idea was to improve ACT scores. We had to Pivot or shift from our initial focus of every building to literacy at the elementary school.

Theory of Change: Data Informed Learning - The school community uses data to guide instruction and learning and teachers use the data to guide instruction and reflection. Students track and reflect about individual data. Teachers and students utilize technology resources such as Amplify, Acadience, Imagine Learning, ST Math, Edgenuity, Reading Inventory, Reading Plus, and other research based tools that provide immediate feedback. Using the feedback, interventions and adjustments to instruction and learning are targeted and intentional.

# data[].attributes.body
We have learned so much about our students and the software we have been using.  I think it is time to pivot what we have been since we are finally making progress.

Big Idea: Increase student engagement and individual student growth by leveraging technology to support individualized learning, targeted interventions, and data-driven, differentiated instruction.

Expansion of current grant and vision to include K-2 touch screen devices; additional software support of individualized learning, RTI, and accelerated learning.

Theory of Change: Digital empowerment and engagement; real-time feedback; data-based individualized and differentiated learning.

Strategies:
1).  Expansion of technology-supported assessment
2).  Expansion of technology-supported learning
3).  More frequent and improved use of technology for learning, and training for all staff and personnel on use of digital assessment, progress monitoring, and instruction.

Problem Statement:
Students in the lowest and highest quartiles have not consistently met individual targeted growth goals as per stated goals in WSD's strategic plan.

Root Cause Analysis (Why?):
1).  Insufficient technology-supported progress monitoring for those students identified as needing targeted interventions for reading and math.
2).  Insufficient technology-supported,  targeted interventions for those students supported by MTSS in reading and math
3).  Insufficient opportunity for students in top quartile in reading and math to receive accelerated, technology supported curriculum.
4).  Insufficient knowledge and skill among staff to fully utilize data received from baseline and interim assessments, as well as technology-supported progress monitoring, to differentiate and individualize curriculum and instruction.
5).  Need for establishment of a school-wide system, including seamless organization between lower and middle schools divisions, to support diverse curricula to all students, with a particular emphasis on those in the lowest and highest quartiles.
