Why a Coaches Network

Grow understanding of the WA State MTSS framework

Meet and connect with one another within our region

Learn about implementation efforts and strategies

Our Objectives

  • Allows a time and space to develop our conceptual understanding of MTSS
  • Network and learn from one another. Teamwork makes the dream work!
  • Share our success and support one another to continually develop, improve and refine our MTSS framework

Feedback Data

  • Help staff use data to inform interventions
  • Data resources and strategies
  • Collection and Analysis of Data; Identify a Tier 2/3
  • Have a data tool and use it to guide our work.
  • I would like our conversations about academic data to prioritize an equity lens. How to disaggregate and analyze the data by race and other socio-identity factors,
  • What we can do as a system to ensure educators are equipped to meet our expectations around high leverage practices, curriculum implementation, etc. We adopt new curriculum all the time and there is an excessive burden on teachers to be responsible for the gaps in our academic data. But as a system, what does a continuum of support look like for educators to implement foundational academic supports and higher tiered intervention supports as well.
  • Data based decision making
  • Outside of the screeners and the mapping tool, what data collection tools can help buildings show evidence of the effectiveness of their implementation? For example, what are the recommended processes/tools to gather schoolwide data to assess the fidelity of universal strategies that are expected in every classroom?
  • How to disaggregate data based on student groups (socioeconomic status, ELL, race, FRL, Sepd) that really makes an impact on these groups of students

Today’s Learning Intention

I will increase my data literacy by developing an understanding of the ladder of inference to look at Tier I academic and behavior data with a racial equity lens.

I will explore Tier II/III practices and familiarize myself with the Data-Based Individualization tool (DBI)

I will further my understanding of what constitutes an intervention and how they differ from accomodations, modifications, and differentiation.

I can apply my learning today to a problem of practice that I am currently experiencing within my scope of work and experiences.

Dig Deeper into Tier 2 & Tier 3…

12

Establishing data culture in Tier 1 will support reviewing and analyzing data in all Tiers.

Conversations about data should happen at all Tiers with a racial equity lens.

Let’s think about data literacy and how we can use structures and/or protocols to have conversations about data that can be used to review the health and strength of Tier I.

Some stops along the Historical timeline of schooling in the US…

1830s: By this time, most southern states have laws forbidding teaching Black people how to read. Even so, around 5 percent of enslaved people become literate at great personal risk.

1851: State of Massachusetts passes first its compulsory education law. The goal is to make sure that the children of poor immigrants get "civilized" and learn obedience and restraint, so they make good workers and don't contribute to social upheaval.

1864: Congress makes it illegal for Native Americans to be taught in their native languages. Native children as young as four years old are taken from their parents and sent to Bureau of Indian Affairs off-reservation boarding schools, whose goal, as one BIA official put it, is to "kill the Indian to save the man."

1865: The newly formed Freedmen’s Bureau collaborated with aid societies to provide literacy education to emancipated Black communities

1905: The U.S. Supreme Court requires California to extend public education to the children of Chinese immigrants.

1924: An act of Congress makes Native Americans U.S. citizens for the first time.

Some stops along the Historical timeline of schooling in the US…

1932s: A survey of 150 school districts reveals that three quarters of them are using so-called intelligence testing to place students in different academic tracks.

1948: Educational Testing Service is formed. These testing services continued the work of eugenicists like Carl Brigham (originator of the SAT) who did research "proving" that immigrants were feeble-minded.

1968: African American parents and white teachers clash in the Ocean Hill-Brownsville area of New York City, over the issue of community control of the schools. Teachers go on strike, and the community organizes freedom schools while the public schools are closed.

1970’s: The Brown Berets emerged after educational justice organizing in East L.A. Schools.

They were a Chicano nationalist organization that believed in Chicano self -determination and self defense of the community against racism and police brutality.

1994: Proposition 187 passes in California, making it illegal for children of undocumented immigrants to attend public school. Federal courts hold Proposition 187 unconstitutional, but anti-immigrant feeling spreads across the country.

Vocabulary Targets

“Disproportionality”: Disproportionate means unequal or out of proportion. In data, this is when a group of students is overrepresented or underrepresented when compared to the size of their group in the district.

“Equity”: The extent to which outcomes are predictable by demographic.

“Opportunity Gaps”: Created when structures, systems and practices result in barriers to educational access, success and imbalanced outcomes for historically underserved communities. These disparities are perpetuated by one’s intersectional identity markers (race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, language, age, gender, ability, etc.)

“Racial Equity”: The result achieved when advantage or disadvantage cannot be predicted by race. This includes elimination of policy, practice, attitude and cultural messages that perpetuate disproportionate outcomes

17 of 30

“Protocol”: An agreed-upon, collective framework or descriptive guideline of expected behaviors, norms, etiquette, and procedures for completing a task in the most effective and efficient manner.

Guiding Principles and Shared Agreements for Data Protocol:

  • Data analysis must be tools, not weapons.
  • Data analysis should be liberatory and healing.
  • Reimagine our ways of knowing & learning
  • See the barriers; imagine what is possible
  • Center voices from the margins & isolate race
  • Seek root causes over quick fixes

“The Ladder of Inference”: A mental model that describes the brain’s natural process. If we find ourselves climbing this metaphorical ladder too quickly, we may be prone to bias.

The key is to stay low on the ladder, consider unknown student narratives and reflect.

Shared Data-Analysis Steps

Time =

90+ mins

20 of 30

Context: This year an equity focus is to increase students' feelings of belonging to the VPS community. This is the lens in which the data should be analyzed.

Desired outcome: Make an action plan for Leadership teams to implement structures and practices to increase community & a sense of belonging. Identify which student groups will be targeted in upcoming enrichment, intervention and supports across the building.

Shared Data Analysis Steps: (Open link)

Step 1) Preparing to Review Student & School Perception Data

      • Aspirations and Apprehensions & Collaborative Brainstorm Mapping

Step 2) Observe, Disaggregate, Interpret & Reflect on the Data

  • I Notice, I wonder..

Step 3) Imagine Opportunities: Visionary Reflection

  • Reflective prompts, Identify needs for Street Level Data, & Plan next steps

21 of 30

Implementing Interventions

  • It is crucial to create a data culture that consistently revisits data at all Tiers

  • Having structures and protocols to plan and lead data conversations will support successful intervention selection and implementation

  • Self-selected break out rooms today will give opportunities to dig in into or extend learning around data and interventions
