Connecting the Dots: A Deeper Dive Into The Smarter Balanced Assessment Data, Tools, and Resources Elmer Choe, Data Coordinator Website: http://achieve.lausd.net/Page/8871
Workshop Goal By the end of this workshop, you will be well equipped to facilitate professional development (PD) with your teachers on connecting the smarter balanced assessment results to improving teaching and learning 2
Using Summative Results Comprehensive, complex, and difficult process Not a checklist Not meant to be completed at a single staff meeting or professional development event Focus on improving learning Not solely about increasing scores Collaborative process that requires: Honesty Willingness to commit the time Ability to handle ambiguity Patience 3
Learning Goals By the end of this professional development, you will dialogue and discuss implications of the smarter balanced assessment results using the instructional cycle data analysis process Determine possible next steps to address curricular, material, intervention, instructional, and/or professional learning needs 5
Activator Share with your elbow partner: Of the many tests you ve taken in your lifetime, which test impacted you the most and why? 6
Using Summative Assessment Results in the Instructional Cycle Data review and discovery What is the current state of performance? Improving Teaching and Learning Possible actions moving forward Recalling program, practice, policies, etc. What should/will change? What happened? Possible connections between performance and program, practice, policies, etc. How or why did the performance occur? 7
Data Review and Discovery In your grade (content secondary) level teams dialogue and chart your notes using the guiding questions below: 1. What do you notice about the overall scores? (See data handouts) 2. Where do the scale scores fall within the levels? (See Scale Score Ranges slide) 3. What differences in scores exist with your subgroups compared to the all-student group? 4. Which claims within the content areas are higher and weaker performing? 5. Describe data patterns that you observe? 8

Recalling What Happened Chart your discussion notes using the guiding questions below: What curriculum did we adopt, have in place last year? What new strategies did we introduce last year? How did we inform our students of the expectations of the assessment? What evidence did we collect during the year that is consistent with the evidence required on the assessment? How did we make use of the Interim Assessments and/or Digital Library? 11
Making Connections Between Performance and What Happened Last Year Chart your discussion notes using the guiding questions below: What would you consider as the single-most important factor contributing to the apparent successes/needs as indicated by the scores? How might the instructional time allotted to knowledge, skills, and abilities of a particular claim contribute to areas of strength/weaknesses observed in the data? How did our use of the Interim Assessments and/or Digital Library contribute to the patterns observed in the data? 12
Responding By Determining Next Steps Chart your discussion notes using the guiding questions below: How might we re-structure our professional learning communities and our professional development offering to support the needs illustrated in the data? What curriculum and materials do we have in place to address these areas of strength and areas of need for the coming year? How do we find examples of student work that address the target areas that are performing lower than the overall score? What evidence do we need during classroom instruction to know that my students are making progress toward meeting the targets for each claim? Given the data observed, how might we used the practice performance tasks to illustrate student performance and to guide possible intervention? 13
PD Logistical Considerations Think about and Plan for: What skills will be critical to lead this PD effort? What leaders do you have? Who else might you want to involve? When and where should the professional learning time take place in your school s existing schedule? What materials will you need? 14
