Monitoring the Impact - Step 5:

How may we determine the expected outcome(s) of our school improvement plan?

Creating log entries for each school visit and reviewing how others on the team have been interacting with the school.

Within Stage 2: Developing a plan for change, a coaching move I would like to highlight as a strength/area of growth based on my experiences is creating a logic model.

The logic model has a clear objective, input (resources), strategies (that will be implemented), outputs (product of a fully implemented strategy), and short and long term outcomes (benefits).

Tonia- Stage 4: Monitor the Implementation of the Plan

2023-12-11 17:56:34 UTC

Monitoring the plan’s implementation by noting changes in the behaviors of both leaders and teachers. Identifying those logistical changes in culture and the instructional moves that impact student’s learning.

Identifying the instructional skills and strategies that positively impact students learning. Also, identifying structural strengths and areas of improvements to change school’s cultural to promotes efficiency and effectiveness in moving schools forward to reach goals.

Some action steps include:

Identify the current status and the long term and short term goals
Create a logic model
Create planning tools, resources and templates

Dana- Stage 2 Develop a Plan for Change.

2023-12-11 18:58:04 UTC

Define strategies to address priority needs.

Establish process of collecting evidence of implementation and impact. (Use of Power BI).

Dana-Coaching Tasks

2023-12-11 19:58:13 UTC

Training in management techniques for teachers and leaders responsible for plan implementation.

Action Steps:

Facilitate appropriate professional development.
Conduct walkthrough
Conduct needs assessment.

Stage 5- Progress monitoring- Phillip

pkonig1 — 2023-12-11 20:11:49 UTC

We need to improve our district's progress monitoring of IEPs and BIPs. It is crucial for teachers to review IEP goals and identify evidence that demonstrates whether they were met or not.

Regarding BIPs, they are frequently completed but not reviewed or modified based on data. The plan should be modified if it is not effective, and the progress monitoring frequency and duration are clearly stated in the plan."

Action Steps- Phil

pkonig1 — 2023-12-11 21:00:59 UTC

Regularly view Progress monitoring data of goals in SESIS
Month Leads meeting review data with leads to build the capacity of their teachers
Behavior PD's held that review the prop

Nazda - Revise & Refine

2023-12-11 21:14:20 UTC

I feel that many times the work/support is acquired but in isolation rather than taken as an evolving, on-going task. How can we instill a continuous focus on the fundamental goal of "academic achievement"? How can we help school/staff develop a sense of ownership and self-reflection so that the work does not end at the end of a support cycle but continues throughout the school year?

Build participants' data literacy. Always refer to the data and use multiple perspectives/approaches when doing so.
Build capacity and knowledge so that participants can uncover root causes of a problem on their own.
Emphasize the fact that this is an ongoing cycle. There is not just one root problem AND root causes may vary from year to year!

Improvement Stage 6: Review New Data

2023-12-12 12:38:47 UTC

Follow the parameters of the metric to consolidate language of progress. Identify the action steps needed to improve metric numbers. Identify areas outside of control and its negative impact on maximum progress (while informing practices to change for next cycle). Keep tight monitoring of data. This is easier for compliance work.

Improvement Stage 6: Review New Data

2023-12-12 12:42:12 UTC

Be clear as early as possible along the cycle all the components of progress monitoring.
Get everyone speaking the same language with regards to the metric and progress.
Advocate for actions of stakeholders in the planning stages to minimize irresolveable issues in the next cycle. This requires a different analysis of the data.

Strength and Area of Growth

2023-12-12 13:59:51 UTC

As a coach, a strength I have is outlining the plan and developing a logic model for the plan. Identifying the outcomes (both long and short).

As a coach, an area of growth is identifying is collecting the data to monitor the impact of the plan such as structural changes for improved instruction, developing look fors with school leaders, acquiring new knowledge for math instruction and evident self-reflection behaviors and practices by all stakeholders . Collecting artifacts to capture the before/after and identifying what student data will be reviewed to show impact on student learning.

One area/coaching move from the text that I'd like to highlight as an area of strength, based on my experience in the field, is Improvement Stage 1: Assess Current Status. Being able to connect and ask "where are we now" before the plan can be developed gives a lot of pertinent information for the plan itself, and its development.

Action Steps

2023-12-12 14:02:43 UTC

Improved document and record keeping of before/after aligned to the goal of the coaching cycle.
Identifying with the stakeholders the data that will be reviewed to monitor impact on student learning and outcomes.
Build capacity of the math coaches to review data, collect data and monitor progress for both short and long term outcomes.

One area that is an area of growth for me is Stage 5: monitoring the impact of the plan. It's a challenge to conduct the periodic assessment of student achievement and/while monitoring the efficacy of professional practice with the teachers. It's something that I aim to improve by learning from my collegues.

One way to strengthen stage 1 further (Assessing current status) is to examine data even further, like attendance, discipline and graduation data, even though we are focusing mostly on curriculum and instruction.

A coaching move from the text I can highlight as an area of strength based on my experiences in the field is, Improvement Stage 2: Develop a Plan for Change. Building a team skill using goals to structure action plans and establish a clear process propelled a strong launch and enabled the work to move forward.

Action steps to continually deepen the alignment and practicality of Developing a Plan for Change is to implement predetermined times for reflection to ask, "Where are we now in relation to our goal?" Is the goal still relevant and aligned to the intended outcome(s)? Consider: student data, teachers' PD, school's vision, etc. Another step is to engage participants with a conversation about the intended outcomes and how and what is required to achieve them within a timeframe.

Stage 7: Revise, Refine the Plan

2023-12-12 15:38:21 UTC

Regularly go back to the plan based the continuously changing data. Once a plan is implemented, it is necessary to monitor and modify as necessary.,

Action Steps

2023-12-12 15:41:46 UTC

*Meet with the team regularly

*Provide resources that specifically address individual needs

*Open/transparent communication
