1 Systems Improvement Framework Developing Global Readers for Academic Success
2 Systems Improvement Framework Purpose The purpose of the Systems Improvement Framework is to provide Washington s school districts actionable steps and guidance in an effort to build a comprehensive K-12 reading system. Another function of the framework is to assist districts and schools as they implement and enhance their current reading systems. The framework is aligned with the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction s of High Performing Schools, as well as the elements of a successful reading system which include standards, assessment, high quality reading instruction & intervention, leadership, and systemwide commitment (). Aligning the Systems Improvement Framework with the elements of promotes continuous effort of improvement for all students in Washington State. The Systems Improvement Framework is based in part upon the following research-based principles indicated in the Washington State K-12 Model: 1. Effective instructional materials for reading are anchored in scientifically-based reading research and emphasize the five essential reading components: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension as analyzed by The Report of National Panel in their landmark meta-analysis of K-12 reading research. 2. Students must read at the highest possible level of proficiency, based on Washington State, in order to participate in all aspects of life. 3. An adequate amount of engaged, rigorous instructional time must be allocated in order to optimize student growth in reading. 4. instruction needs to be adjusted based on frequent assessment of student performance and progress monitoring data. Background The Systems Improvement Framework is a collaborative effort involving expert representatives from several divisions of the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI): and School Improvement and Accountability (DSIA) and Teaching &. Contributors also include: DSIA Technical Assistance Providers and the literacy experts from Educational Service s from around Washington State. DSIA is piloting the Systems Improvement Framework in its current work with districts and schools. The Systems Improvement Framework provides DSIA the foundation to define and differentiate supports, services, and professional development. The rationale for a systems framework approach to improving reading achievement includes policy evaluations, theory, and logical conclusions from field implementations. Following a systemic, multi-component plan to improve the proficiency of both struggling and highly-skilled readers ensures a positive impact on student achievement. As districts and schools begin to implement an effective reading system, their success will depend upon adopting content standards (Grade Level Expectations), using assessment data to guide instructional decisions, and implementing high quality reading instruction and interventions that incorporate proven and appropriate methods and materials. Effective leaders weave these pieces together; their efforts result in
3 Systems Improvement Framework improved practice and higher achievement. commitment to reading achievement as a key mission of a school and the belief it is achievable - is the final element critical to the success of a sustained and systemic approach to instructional improvement. The Systems Improvement Framework is organized into five components: Tier I: Developing a Healthy Core 3. Systems 4. Tier II and Tier III 5. Systems Support Organization These components should not be viewed or addressed in isolation, but must work together to build an effective system to improve student achievement. As illustrated on page 5, the Framework is written in a seven column format. In the first column, actions for improving each component are listed in order of suggested implementation, each action building on the last. The bullets below each action provide additional details, including specific steps, suggested resources, and research. The second column identifies the element(s) of the model addressed in each action. The model addresses the five elements of an effective systematic reading system:,,,, and. The third column identifies the alignment with the of High Performing Schools. OSPI s of High Performing Schools, a research-based document identifying attributes that distinguish high performing schools, becomes central to the continuous process for school-wide improvement. These attributes include: a Clear and Shared Focus; High and Expectations; Effective School ; High Levels of Collaboration and Communication; Curriculum, Instruction, and Aligned with ; Frequent Monitoring of Teaching and ; Focused Professional Development; Supportive Environment; and High Levels of Community and Parent Involvement. The fourth column identifies the leadership necessary to implement or complete each action. Led by the superintendent and the curriculum director, the district reading leadership team is the primary group responsible for implementing the Systems Improvement Framework. In the fifth column, goals and outcomes for each action are provided; and the professional development modules that support the action are listed in the sixth column. Finally, column seven provides a reflective rubric for districts to assess their current system implementation.
