Using National mclass Performance Data to Determine Growth and Goal Setting

Using National mclass Performance Data to Determine Growth and Goal Setting

Traditionally we look at our DIBELS Next data and analyze what percent of students fall into each risk level. This information is excellent to assist in planning instruction and interventions. However, being able to take that to the next level and determining how well we are assisting our students in growth is extremely important.

Amplify has analyzed our national database to determine the average amount of growth made by schools throughout each semester and each year. Using this information allows schools to use their own data to determine their progress of moving students to Benchmark and progress of moving students out of the Well Benchmark category. When reviewing the level of progress for your school/grade level, you can determine which category your school/ grade level falls: Top 20% of progress (well above average progress) 2 nd 20 % of progress (above average progress) Mid 20% of progress (average progress) 2 nd to lowest 20% of progress (below average progress) Bottom 20% of progress (well below average progress) This progress is compared to other schools across the nation that began the same place you began the year.

How to Get Started: 1. Use your Comparing Populations Report from the Reporting and Analysis Suite for grades K-3 to determine the percent of students at Benchmark at BOY and at MOY. Key Parameters Include: Student Population - Grades K-3 or Individual grades K, 1, 2, 3 Time - BOY and MOY 2. Begin with the chart that says, National mclass DIBELS Comparison 2012-2013 for School Goal Setting: All Grades (K-3) for Benchmark Students. 3. Find the row in the first column corresponding to the percent of students scoring at benchmark on the composite score at the beginning of year. 4. Look across the row to find the column that is consistent with your percent of students scoring at MOY. 5. Look up to the top row to determine your level of growth.

Look in the white column and find your BOY score (75% in this example). 2. To analyze growth, find the column corresponding to the percent of students scoring at benchmark on the composite score at the middle of year (82% in this example). 3. To set a goal, choose column corresponding to desired performance to set as an end of year goal. 5

How to Get Started (continued): 6. Repeat this process with individual grade levels (K, 1, 2, 3) to drill deeper into your growth data and set goals for each of your grade levels. (See Appendix for individual grades.) 7. After EOY, we will be providing you with information to allow you to see your progress from BOY to EOY. We encourage you to go through the same process at that time to help you modify your 2014-2015 goals. Reminder: The only way to close the achievement gap is to have students in the above average or well above average progress category.

Next Steps: 1. Continue your data dig and goal setting, by repeating this process with the National mclass DIBELS Comparison 2013-2014 for School Goal Setting: K-3 for Well Benchmark Students & K, 1, 2, & 3 Charts. (See Appendix for K-3 and individual grades.) 2. Determine PD that could assist you in reaching your goal for the 2014-2015 school year. 3. Determine who to send to the June Regional Jumpstart Sessions sponsored by CDE. Topics will include common barriers that schools encounter.
