Describe quality indicators that will be monitored and used to evaluate effectiveness.

Assignment: Learning Outcomes Project: Local Gap in Data and Action Plan
You have examined vision and mission statements, recognized important data and those that are missing, dug deeper into the data, identified characteristics of positive environments for student learning, described best practices of effective instruction, investigated a culture of data, and created and prioritized goals to support learning for all students. How, as a CIA leader, will you implement your action plan?
For this Assignment, you will first create an action plan (final component of Part 1: Local Gap in Data Paper) that not only describes your prioritized goals, but also the specific steps, time lines, resources, roles, responsibilities, and evaluation measures needed for implementation. A clearly articulated plan will guide you and others, and it will provide evidence of your efforts. As with many of your other responsibilities, the success of this action plan will depend largely on your ability to utilize input from a variety of stakeholders.
You will then develop a multimedia presentation (Part II of the final project) to communicate an action plan to stakeholders. Create a presentation for the stakeholder group of your choice (e.g., teachers, community members, administrators). This can be based on you own district, one you have chosen, or the Grand City district. (Go to the Grand City Community and click on the Grand City School District Administration Office, where you will find the Grand City School District Report Card.)
Part 1: Local Gap in Data Paper (Final Component: Creating an Action Plan)
To prepare:
Review the following:
Chapters 7 and 8 in the course text
Chapter 6 in the Bambrick-Santoyo (2010) text
Chapters 2, 3, and 4 in the DuFour and Fullan (2013) text
Chapters 13 and 14 from the Knowles, Holton, & Swanson (2015) text
The videos (a) Data-driven Instruction and Assessment: Richland II School District—Action planning and (b) Data-driven Instruction and Assessment: Bethel School District—Action planning
Note descriptions of planning for purposes of improving instruction based on evidence.
Refer to the Alignment and Achievement Worksheet you completed in Module 1.
Your action plan will be a blueprint on how to achieve your district’s goals. In it, you must complete the following:
Recommend one significant instructional goal for your chosen district.
Specify each step or benchmark to reach the goal.
Identify potential internal and external stakeholders.
Identify responsible individuals to guide, coordinate, and monitor each activity.
Include resources for each step or benchmark.
Provide a time frame for when each step can be completed.
Describe quality indicators that will be monitored and used to evaluate effectiveness.
Length: 8 to 10 pages
Part 2: Multimedia Presentation to Stakeholder Audience
Data can be intimidating. If data are not presented with the audience in mind, one can quickly lose the opportunity to engage the very people who may be responsible for implementing effective instructional strategies. As a CIA leader, developing data-driven policies and allocating resources needed to deliver a robust evaluation program are critically important. As an effective CIA leader, you will select the data that are meaningful, relevant, and useful to stakeholders. You will present the data so that others can widely understand and consider them. The message communicated through the data you present will tell a district’s story so it can be told, and retold, in support of providing good instruction to all learners.
To prepare:
Complete reading Chapters 7 and 8 in the course text.
Complete reading Chapters 2, 3, and 4 of the DuFour and Fullan (2013) text.
Consider the videos Data-driven instruction and assessment: Spotlight on data—analyzing and sharing data and making decisions about next steps, focusing on Drs. Collier and Dohrer as they describe a transparent assessment program and sharing accountability with stakeholders.
View Dr. Braun’s data slide presentation from the Bethel School District.
Review the Data Analysis Worksheet from Module 1 and your priority goal as stated on your action plan.
To submit:
Develop a 5- to 8-slide presentation that will provide your selected stakeholder audience with an overview of your analysis and the data used to support it.
Ensure that the presentation is professional and suited for use in a public forum.
Use a presentation application (PowerPoint, Prezi, Empressr, SlideRocket).
Demonstrate one identified gap in data, and provide an explanation that is appropriate for an educational audience.
By Day 7 of Week 10
