New+Implementation+Processes

= New Implememtation  At the end of the 2009-10 school year, Libbey High School was closed. Students were "redistributed" to other high schools in the district. Their data folders were supposed to follow them to their new schools. However, since the teachers and students in the new schools did not use SDFs they were not used at the beginning of the school year. The ETT which served EBMS and Libbey during the 09-10 was reassigned to two new schools. As of October 2010, one high school has decided to use SDFs for juniors and seniors needing to pass at least one (and up to five) portions of the Ohio Graduation Tests. PD will be provided in early November so that teachers will know how to read the data. The process will shift slightly. We've also learned that to implement with integrity, the process has to be sustainable. So the ETT will involve at least three others from the building to ensure the process continues in years to come. This building decided not to implement across all grade levels, learning from other schools, that the process is labor intensive. Without a dedicated person to help implement, it is tedious to compile data, organize the process, instruct teachers, create data lessons and other tasks. There is good news. EBMS has continued to use SDFs although in a slightly reduced capacity. There is hope to fully implement soon. However, the ELA 8th grade teachers use SDFs. They chart students OAA trend data (test scores over time). They complete their own testing to determine reading levels and complete both vocabulary and fluency testing. Students chart their own levels. Intervention groups are created based on the data and improvement has been shown. Students from one group all (minus one) tested above proficient in Acquisition of Vocabulary (AV). =
