Event 1: PPS Board of Education Work Session June 18, 2019
00h 00m 00s
joke earlier this management director
great see the sensation this is a
product we're getting part of education
division 22 rules it's recently updated
to reflect new rule effective January 1
from the Health Authority it defines how
water taps in schools will be tested on
an ongoing basis starting July 1st 2020
plant also requires a part of board
[Music]
[Music]
first time that ongoing testing for
letting water is required for all we've
been through it's actually never been
it's required every six years or
district aside from PTSD the rule
dresses to test a portion of all taps
each year and conversations with the
only de and stakeholders they refer to
this one six that for the six years and
they also want to stay coordinated with
the school districts because there's 1
million dollars a year of the school
facilities fun we rehearse the whole
districts or the cost of testing hardly
than that out here over here schools
there is no reimbursement for mitigation
and we have long funds that are
currently mitigating problem caps
to
[Music]
it happened the way that it's done is it
the same way we're just now it's the
same methodology call the EPA three T's
I would say the biggest difference is
this is now everything that we put in
service now we have to revisit its good
plan all had to also requires the school
district to outline in the plan we're a
reader can find information on asbestos
radon pest management so that's all
listed in here but each of those matters
is individually regulated already
somewhere else so our plan has to say
where you were to find those other
issues but it's only the water piece
that actually
00h 05m 00s
see Brandon seems random but just add
the healthy and safe schools plan
did exist in 2016 it was a bit of a rush
to rule from Eau de Vie announced it in
July and passes it virtue to be passed
upon us and it didn't have any reference
to didn't have a requirement for testing
water every 600 each a rule is finalized
development centers plans advisory
so there's a million dollars allocated
to covering to reimbursing districts
it's the test fee plus ten dollars as an
administrative fee in the conversations
there's more money available might be
sending administrator feet and it
doesn't really say what we're testing
forward so it of course testing of 2016
statewide there was a lot of different
someone in different labs were charging
see the Portland did something for free
that was just a different environment
where it was trying to assess those
Rapids
good
seem like they're a decent opportunity
pretty price down
drops $10 administrative fee two million
dollars providing the end is carved out
of the students
doors
and here's out needle I am I don't see
it all
does that require does that just listen
if there isn't me because you ever come
back you're coming out good asking that
a lot isn't required okay what no
significant participation in the state
movies
initially without legislators few years
ago brilliant
stakeholder meetings for drinking water
testing
well attend the school districts charter
schools will test all the park pictures
of the testing schedule for the district
notify the charters of what our testing
said you lose so they even find it
Christmas
okay so we're very good resolution
resolution tennis
for Nexus
and if there's a deadline that's right
get me did you all see their fight you
submitted by July 15th adoption
okay okay so I'm gonna suggest we take a
five minutes recess yes because the
income before members ago he went to 30
and I've learned that my power that my
box of stuff
00h 10m 00s
your brother to me know it do anything
that's it
well I'm sure yes you it's my story
[Music]
thank you
oh no oh yeah
[Music]
yeah
huge
Oh
[Music]
00h 15m 00s
like I've got to play for you later
oh yes
I got your to the same thing
okay okay so we're gonna we're gonna
reconvene in the work session and we're
gonna and we're gonna have you all
moving around soon but what I thought we
could do a restart today is just kind of
talk a little bit about where we've been
and then where we're trying to head
towards for July 2nd so if you'll
remember the last time we had it was 60s
ago that's right it was Wednesday so six
days ago we were all together talking
about sort of like how how we can
support you the district around seven
goals so one of the things that we did
last week was that we talked a little
bit about sort of what is what is the
SMART goal and so we do have to do about
the
what a sparkle is what you probably
already know but then we also spent a
lot of time going into all of the data
that's currently available to us we've
00h 20m 00s
spent some time talking about the fact
that that data isn't always perfect and
it's certainly an opportunity the way
that we disseminate and collect and
reporting and moving forward so so
really the goal of last week was to get
you all sort of like familiar and
comfortable with the data in a way that
so last week the focus of our work
together was to get you familiar with
the data that was available to start to
you know feel comfortable finding that
information and that data and to also
kind of practice as a board kind of
reaching conclusions about the data
together so that we can build on that
work tonight so what we'll be doing
tonight is focusing in on how to develop
a shared analysis together so when I
propose you tonight that we do is we
start to think about trend there Gina so
the first half of tonight will look at
trends in the ninth accountability
measures that are there to understand
what has been the district's performance
by student by the TSI suicides had one
schools by incursion to the state and
looking at the performance of
those of those student groups across the
nine different accountability measures
that are currently there we'll talk a
little bit about sort of what you
conclude the analysis that you have in
your partners and then we'll turn it
over to thinking about where are the
places where there's positive deviance
and that will be some more opportunity
for you to go and find like we're we're
we're doing well what is sparking your
curiosity what money do you want to find
out more information for so that we go
into goal setting on the second you'll
have on the second is when we'll take
all the information that you've had from
last Wednesday from tonight and then
compare that information and looking at
the graduate profile in the vision and
then get into active goal-setting in a
sort of world cafe style and then we'll
hopefully by the end of our time
together on the second come up with some
draft go off-site you can feel pretty
good about and sort of start thinking
about what our vision
or should've like how you're gonna
continue to refine that after you get
back from and have some time to think
about think about that so I passed out a
packet of information that has yes oh
yes
so I've had information that has a
couple of documents and I'll go through
them today and then we'll jump into kind
of moving around
so this first imprint this first piece
the paper is your kind of like your
worksheets this spreadsheet is really
just a graphic organizer you don't have
to fill it all out but it's a way for
you to start to think about how you want
to analyze trends so I'm going to point
you in two pairs we have different
tables where there are the different
accountability measures and in your
pairs you'll kind of go through and you
may decide that you want to focus in on
just PPS as a district and go and look
at what are the trends for
african-american students for native
students or students with disabilities
and so this is just a way for you to
collect the information that you got
we'll do that for a while and then we'll
come together and on the whiteboard
we'll sort of start to get a sense of
what are you seeing in terms of trends
over the last three years that you and
your partner that you want to inform
overall goal setting process the second
set of papers is just kind of like a
roadmap to the detailed activities that
we're doing to get us through the
goal-setting process so starting on page
five is where we are starting tonight so
we're going to just describe the
activity and then takes us through the
questions that we'll talk about as a
group and then the second activity is
there as well and then a way to preview
what we're gonna be doing on the second
we also have the description of those
activities for this time management so
question sir
so structure the the larger of the
multimedia scripture come on okay
just like how we're going to get the
00h 25m 00s
endpoint because I thought that part of
our discussion was that we might not
want to take what the depth of the
state's goals and so we'd had a
discussion about things related to the
learner profile yeah and graduate
profile and we also you know talked
about a variety of things like you know
college and career readiness because for
me the ninth grade on track and a pretty
low standard and so I'm wondering cuz I
know we got that much time it's like
when we're gonna give it to
you want you don't want to do he's 9
yeah so um I think that's a really guy
was gonna talk a little bit about that
so I think that uh I'm going on the
second is when we'll start to do some
sort of like matching to the graduate
profile because the graduate profile
some of the some of the accountability
measures are addressed in the graduate
profile but there are a lot of places
where we're not measuring and I think
you all have a discussion about sort of
like they're just not captured there so
as part of the like World Cafe activity
will be the opportunity for you to to
start thinking about like what sickle or
a measure that you would want to capture
in those other areas so in that
beginning discussion on the second will
be where we're starting to turn those
out I think took the way that we're I'm
trying to organize the information here
is to use the current accountability
measures as a foundation just to start
to organize that you're starting to
think about like this is the capacity
that we currently have based on state
and federal regulations and so to get
you really feeling comfortable with that
and the data and the trends around that
so that when you do what if you win and
if you do want to pivot to other types
of measures that you have a sense of
some of our growth patterns as well as
places where we're doing well that that
you know we've made for accomplish the
goals that you want to that
to that so I think we're just starting
with these nine areas as a place to kind
of to analyze and to get information but
there's lots of room to expand beyond
those and so I think we'll capture that
in tonight's discussion about when we're
sort of doing a report outs as well as
in the second
I'm concerned timing-wise that if we
spend a lot of time and analyzing data
of things that were not being
we're going to be well into the fall
before we get to what what I thought I
heard from the group is an interest and
not traditional measures or my fears
here's the goal but it's not gonna be
captured necessarily and then that's
back yeah and I think there's there I
think that I imagine that you're doing
this like in in tandem right aspect is
one sort of set of measures but I I
think it's probably important as a group
and as a collective what I found this is
sort of groups are who trying to define
goals is that having a strong foundation
of understanding like what their growth
trends are what we're currently
measuring is really important to
understand so we're going to spend some
time tonight looking at the growth rates
in each of these areas just so that you
can get a sense of what has been the
district's history around improvement or
you know or potentially decline and so
that when you set those baseline
measures and those improvement track so
it really is just informative still
we're still in that sort of analysis
place I I've done this like a couple of
times with big groups around measures
and and I promise that on the that we'll
be able to get to some some pretty clear
goals on the second if you're worried
about about time there
you know I'm also guess they're just
generally about if we use something
other than the s back that it's going to
take the district some time to create
create some other or multiple measures
to measure something besides suggest
well I think that's a it's a valid
concern and I think it's a realistic
real assort of reality that it will as
you define goals we're gonna have to
there's going to be some time where the
book this ignorant leadership team and
their staff are gonna have to go back
and figure out like what are best ways
to measure them and so I really see that
sort of back and forth as you'll notice
SLT is all here and so we're we're
running to be really actively engaged so
that when we set up strategies and we're
trying to be responsive to what you all
00h 30m 00s
are coming up with as your goals
let's do it alright so um so this is the
out sort of like process document and
then just the other document here Brenda
partners and the superintendent have
talked about the way that we're sort of
are organizing has been sort of looking
at these different tiers of schools and
so I just wanted you to if you wanted to
look at and do some analysis that you
have this here okay
so um why don't we here so here's what I
mean have you do so you'll get into
pairs maybe if you don't mind if the new
board members are not paired together
but try to get with the four sort of
existing board member just for just for
like you know the sake of having some
some different perspectives so go ahead
and get into partners and then once your
partners there are tables and each table
has one of the nine accountability
measures and I think you and your
partner can decide which one you want to
go to and then sltv members will kind of
hang out with you and be there as a
resource if you have any questions
SLT went through a similar activity
yesterday and so they have some they
have some tips and tricks and again I
would just reiterate that this is just a
suggestion for a ways for you to analyze
the activity is really about you sort of
like come together are practicing about
analysis
in these areas that you can you can sort
of have a realistic sense of what so
once you get your partner's go-ahead and
you're at the top
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
00h 35m 00s
we use our resources that's what's yours
[Music]
[Music]
okay
[Music]
Oh
look at all students and then maybe
perhaps each Ivana
00h 40m 00s
well
[Laughter]
Bridgers
[Music]
00h 45m 00s
[Music]
to
how maybe that is test
it's just
00h 50m 00s
Oh
okay you're distracted Roger I'm just
trying to get some ask me how many
translations I see before I write a
sermon all right so ready in Morocco
Burley's 12 a star a star
star
yeah that makes me wonder question
Oh
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
00h 55m 00s
yeah
[Music]
yes
yeah
yeah yeah
really
right
please
or his therapist
[Music]
[Music]
of course
okay
there's also great
67
I can't tell anybody
burnsy
I could read you mr. Arky games yes
01h 00m 00s
I mean I guess that's part of it too is
the three-year trend do we want to look
at
Oh
you know I think the three-year epidemic
Cesar Chavez and I'm gonna figure out
bald man
and it looks like across population
except the Hispanic it was but students
with disabilities by that as well seven
Spanish student portal 1317 space
definitely went so that's like Baron
steel
yeah
that's right
so
do you have one of these they mention I
have your boy repeat
[Music]
like court subject
01h 05m 00s
but it's covering all sorts of things
as further balances that criteria kind
of the national level saying
you will not hit it
and so for me
Oh
about because I get a question from Mike
Wow
but they do but it's not
but our sweet letter grades but some of
this magic visions and the problem with
that
[Laughter]
[Music]
you want to report out and then we'll do
that about five minutes
I'm sorry the district
[Music]
this
01h 10m 00s
[Laughter]
[Laughter]
great you're the only organs
01h 15m 00s
[Music]
use also preferred outlets in
such a secure option to share the top
rope so you are staring
okay but feel
[Music]
so even the data we can't tear ourselves
away
[Laughter]
[Music]
carlene's super friendly care yes Julie
join us we'll get started
okay how is that for you
frustrating stay well learn about Mahalo
was retired our topic was the four-year
graduation rate so you're just looking
at high schools obviously so and when
01h 20m 00s
you get into virtually any subgroup mode
and white kids the numbers are just so
small that you can't really trust what
might be at render but it's just
so he also starts talking about how you
all got into sort of like defining what
it rank wise and I think the point is to
try to figure out like how are you going
to realistically stop what you want
those goals to be so if you remember
from your Sparkle worksheet kind of like
that baseline understanding and also
sort of like how you want to start the
trajectory work through conversation
other folks how was it for you pressing
thing more about what well just the
numbers are so so blowing some other
sectors
that I mean I think people always
education later this is very high higher
than theirs I think people
but you have numbers in the teens 29
schools only six
what was your math achievement of the 29
schools on the CSI science had one list
only states showed an improvement from
the prior year so that states are 30 so
this is prior to their designation which
got them right so that's a nice segue
why don't we start having having a
record kind of like what were the trends
that you observed and I think we'll just
kind of have a conversation about you
don't mind sort of like what did you
observe in terms of trends sort of like
what was your takeaway and then other
board members I think this is the time
to ask questions of your peers around
sort of like how did you define to try
and like did you did you notice this and
then what I'll do is try to collect what
those trends are so that you can start
to think start thinking about how these
conclusions might inform or not inform
their eventual goals that are there so
it sounds like the math group also it's
still the senior leadership team and all
of the folks who are here to help
Sepideh so the bath team do you want to
start with your trends it seems like you
started and so I'll write them down and
then we'll have
especially so we didn't really do trends
over three years we just kind of we had
a hard time with analyzing and suffering
the data at first so the fact that the
lists in the report card was different
than this list in the order yeah like
just trying to get that rhythm of okay
and then this asked for the African
immigrant or North Africa Middle Eastern
that we don't have the second grade data
for that was a little challenging and
then we got the we just like match this
to this so again we did what was Tier
one we did a title one so we kind of
made some adjustments on our sheet
another thing one of the questions we
came up with was we noticed on some
schools that they were not in that
student strip or on a mathematic math
tag at a point but they were on English
language arts and that was interesting
as we kind of made me assertion that
would be tagging math but not in English
language arts if they were ever English
learners and so we weren't sure why
there were and is it just that students
weren't tech identified or did they out
or what what's the difference there with
high numbers in English language arts
and not in the text and then we also
noticed that some schools had a report
on tech students but not text so again
it's like is it such a small cohort that
it's to personalize to share their ex
back data but it's fine to put their
tenants devil so we have some questions
about how that it's marked and what that
means on how the students are kind of
identified so
or I think one of the things it was is
that well for PBS in general in that of
all the subgroups only four were over
51%
did you tell me which sports or groups
they were Asian whites and it's
interesting but in many cases these
01h 25m 00s
whether you were PPS then achievement
level was the same as it was where you
were right subgroups with multiracial is
on the other side of the page for
example like blacks black students at
PBS 12%
where's meeting benchmarks and in title
one schools it was 15% so both very low
that's kind of one actually was a little
bit higher than all yes but that's true
I mean that's true nationally in all
kinds of schools and it's unfortunately
probably true at like Forest Park
you see that well the one thing it
wasn't true wasn't true across the board
like for example females and yes in math
we're at 54 and in title 1 schools it
was 33 so those a bigger differential
versus where we saw in some cases and
matter what school either end if you
were in a particular group you talked
about the that there wasn't group that
first thing I didn't write that down but
there was so we only did a one-year look
at grow because they handy little you
know cheat on the downward or upward
apparel you know on the front page and
so we looked at that there of the we
need to count Tubman because they're not
data because you don't have it yet but
of the 29 men schools only six showed
growth
and then we did look at a couple of
different schools with you know it's
very interesting to look at there's a
suitor shot that's for example students
sort of percentage goes up a little bit
in here too and then it goes down to
getting your three and that's the trend
for several of those different groups
but then you have a group where it was
high and then I got lower and lower or
it was high so it's right to look at
those and say what specifically
happening in this school that's not
everybody's not doing the same thing so
it's just there's small populations so
an outlier child kind of skews the whole
average or why is this data different
across these different populations any
other observations in math achievement
or growth to the other board members
have any questions about their
methodology or about the way that they
approach the data they're really good
about the scrapings really did does
anyone have any questions
fair we did see schools that shouldn't
have changed so there were six been
improved today so he was a just a
general observation also that apply
across other kind of groups this was a
I wonder question but you had some
schools where the individual student
progress was on high was high and yet
all of the English inodes are to math
and science were all down arrows and
it's like how could that be
yeah so how is do individual student
progress measure this is like insurance
in math
but they were like down arrows over each
other several times so it's not a closed
started IMS that's gross for something
cheap man yeah at least that's what the
first page after there's a little okay
any other questions from your peers
about what you just heard everybody yeah
the growth is the same student tracking
it says here to your progress this
objective through this cohort versus the
next part
this is not a cohort what does paris'
one-year third grade next year not the
same what says individual student
progress is that what's lately well
alright
okay any other questions or comments and
other things that you'd ask the math
group and just remember the dates
01h 30m 00s
because the heights the way the high
school data is displayed is different
than okay yeah there we go and so we do
we did take a little field trip with
Susan into you okay anyone else
instruction high school math instead of
like they finished it
well no but instead of like okay looks
like credit recovery for you guys it's
like maybe we should do something
is half more than half our kids are
cooking algebra algebra is the highest
billiary first time failure rate is 80%
see them again
how's the failure rate of 80% how is
that algebra 20 my worse what do you
think in a second
no way forty the second phase or the
search time they take if they have a
before your percent graduation rate
institutions house for the first time
they take it they have a forty percent
graduation rate oh wow and land on the
third of the students who fail out for
the first time they take it our black
and Hispanic which is a gross over
representation yeah yes yeah this way
just I could certainly do it there's so
much
yeah alright next room
Thank You Sara and let's get them out
you're a whispers okay
which people secureness arena okay uh
yeah we'll cover two English language
arts but we looked at elementary and so
you focus on third grade reading
well it's elementary scores but I'm
sorry I think they're great reading so
we looked across the tiers and notice
trends like basically
nobody was doing well but it's scary we
have got kids in a CSI school ever
English learners
by point two of kids with disabilities
Latino thirteen point two now it gets
slightly better whether they're a tear a
CSI or TSI at a Tier one just a little
bit although it's super nice it's kind
of hard to tell the difference in
achievement with this with all of the
beautiful suspects we need the lowest
achievers what I also looked at was will
be at the literacy cohorts for the
adoption of that bundle in trying to
think of the years of this data and when
so when did cohort to start wonder they
knew certain using the fundamental put
Lucy the balance Lucy I'm seventeen Oh
cohort to was the first year was sixteen
so this was just one year their data on
that well it's hard to tell there's
always gonna get did but their schools
that we looked at why James John King
Martha Riddler that are just so
but so see your main takeaway is that
you have significant needs for growth
because the numbers are so said she met
scores are so low we're safe we looked
at just just because we looked at what
school in the West Side
that was not a CSI psi and in each
category this scores were double what
they were and that's Markham it's still
01h 35m 00s
a very diverse school but yeah
so do we know some triple did all those
schools have the same that roll out of
the reading every No
so we saw had it so we looked at just
measurable flow the start date refers to
your other first year yeah so but it
mean and it's also two years of
professional development two years of
coaching with the right person renamed
it it's a little reading for sobriety so
simply interested that's who we should
look at it was a homework one but the
adoption question is how do we capture
data on students who move so this whole
thing if they start the school year and
sitting and in at Whitman
and we got the same curriculum I thought
she schools you know we do have I've
never haven't seen it reflected in here
but we do have data on mobility i'm
leslie hotel has that because i do where
they go for they certain work I know but
just tracking achievement for kids who
move you know like for example last year
at James John two-thirds of kids there
either started the year late or left
early the majority of kids we're not
there for the entire school year so this
is what amazing teachers were saying the
importance of GBC is that yeah we're
that wherever they write they are
there's going to be a sofa discovered
sequence that it's someone thank you
questions around what were they in where
they got the material is books found
their self more relevant than
observe practices we see in these
schools which do you think it's going to
have a big
years ago everyday well we're saying
there's a lot of so here's the resources
and here muscles of amateurs perhaps
taking we can save a lot of money having
one third-grade teacher over the bankers
bonus school factory let's keep on
already I think that you'd actually
about noticing for trends or anything
else about the data before I move on
they're challenging gifted was not rated
except in the multi-racial know in
articles yes that's not as talented and
gifted is not a state category it's it
wasn't for the individual school okay
what's that I'm looking at sitting then
it has over ninety five percent on the
regular attender which which tells me
there are tech kids in that school but
it says for the english-language arts
01h 40m 00s
than the math is not enough students so
the same issue right I mean and it's
related to race you you could go through
the data year by year going back to 2002
and all you need to know about any
school is what the tag rate is and from
that you can predict with total accuracy
the percentage of kids who are of color
percentage of kids who are low SES you
can tell who the teachers are how long
they've been practicing what the
enrollment trends are absolutely
everything that's all you need to know
there's gifted kids of all races across
our school district and we're only
recognizing in one category it was
destroyed so what about all the other
categories of giftedness that the
federal government defines we don't have
kids with musicianship leadership
creativity writing that are chubby those
are other categories other districts
recognize we don't hear which example
Whitman there's just enough students to
be yeah this was a Miss we don't know is
that question up it just like I don't
get it
so we ran into a number of schools a
number of categories where there were
apparently not enough students to be
reported so you know not reading it and
yet in the 33 year average battery I
could identify
that was kind of what I thought but I
would sort of like to get an actual
answer
well you just got answered from any
comments all right I'm new Ruben Simone
so unless there's any other questions
for ela why don't we move on to the next
group
I'm just waiting go okay good look we
want students share their rights the
great spill data was terrible we rocked
I've heard the states the districts and
Jefferson which are both
and again we know you know Ayden is
broken now so it's good we wonder that
ever English Learner about how much of
that data is actually accurate
so we also noticed that for some reason
there was I think was what
african-americans were a three-year
average in every other category was the
most recent year and in the book with no
explanation
and it wasn't a numbers issue because
there were smaller populations that used
one year that yeah that was that was
there anything yeah that was really
awkward so why sometimes in three year
average versus the right yeah
there's no way to tell why what measure
was evaluated over but also wasn't there
a later one issue to with the data being
awfully don't know those academic year
or yeah we had to write harder data than
the students we went online to get last
year's days so we actually had four
years that we were looking write it down
I like that yeah
that's still barely nice to talk about a
trans say more about that well rule of
thumb and economics is three in a row
consistently before just because there
was always nice and saying it especially
we're comparing different years
different kids a lot of times and then
when you get down to the high school
level they were talking about 15 kids
01h 45m 00s
2012 18 coups and so we want a lot of
fluctuation there and then we found out
was a teen tour kids so a change of what
is five percentage points so a lot of
noise so the one result that my dream is
was Latinos at Roosevelt that went 5954
72-69 one more year they okay there was
a significant change and that was like a
hundred kids yeah again with all the
stuff
graduate just you know Travis think this
is given that no it was two years low
two years higher but aren't you looking
at the change from year the earth
something but if you start at 59 is you
would have three much drop and then you
go to 72-69 is a drop from 72 it's like
a mountain but 69 72 average of around
70 verses in that seems like I would buy
that one but it still seems like well
again I want to see one more year or you
can tell you is gonna be something might
be different at this it's gonna be
something you're gonna okay we got Rosa
like here's to be a positive everything
else spreading up with this attitude it
is it is yes all right
other sort of observations like you
wanna shoot both you might get very
summery
we've discovered in the trends of pasta
gia signs for this sectors what the
overall psyche overall - for the trend
was outside of that one school at this
was market ran the levels vary greatly
african-americans at Jefferson were in
the eighties average versus state
average yeah Roosevelt yeah I think of
small population so that was 818 kids
here roughly the state average return
well the NOAA say was Jeff Jefferson had
the smaller do you know population I was
18
we're talking to kept low kicks or are
you gonna drop we certainly can't
compare among comparison school school
the number of kids okay but I mean
what's the best thing is is you know we
were saying we don't have much faith in
any of these trends because the subs are
so small but when you start to have a
more uniform curriculum and more uniform
professional development you can start
to get me me from school to school
comparisons if you're implementing the
strategies then that's relevant
whereas now you have no idea if what's
going on in Saudi I mean that the other
thing to look at when you're doing
comparing one year to another it is no
one hand you know are what we're hearing
is drown bike
cares Marcis at the same time as we're
having gentrification so there's a lot
of apples and oranges in there but we
need to keep in mind before we
[Music]
because the seniors are taking because
01h 50m 00s
you're athletic
if you about the Great Inflation that we
saw with looking at the cohorts like
where they were on us back and like if
you look at white C's it's pretty much
like 25% in each I mean if you look at
the grading how much was on me seventy
yeah yes yeah yeah this huge numbers of
kids on if you were gonna agree this is
a criterion versus so I'm criterion
based test s back
you see much lower numbers of students
meeting versus the definition of meeting
and grades so sweet blog post a our
clients well so this is in elementary
where they get like meets or exceeds so
figure eights
so they don't give a see they get a
memory or whatever it is I'm never close
to meeting
and yes so you would expect to see a
partnership between meeting grade-level
expectations and meeting proficiencies
but it's not you yeah Sarah had a reset
was that was that with each artist we
shine brighter more mangoes but it
affects our time data amounts of sickie
data point that and your product but I
thought was really important
the current versus the permissions but
the question is which is more accurate
true but there is a disparity so that's
good to know but different data sets are
giving us different to the next group
our final group which was ninth grade on
track so what do we got it here always a
lot of racial disparities okay
overall we're going on inside the
district broken down it's only white
Pacific Islander and students with
disabilities
readiness is everybody else has been
threatening down and to your three high
schools we only have a lion alliance
between having enough kids in any
category for data but tier two
we've got Jefferson and Roosevelt both
of which are trending down overall the
total population population white in
both is trending but almost all other
groups are cracking down
African American at Roosevelt is
trending up students with disabilities
at Roosevelt very friendly pretty much
anyone else who's identified is trending
down now the interesting thing you have
to look at health or grade inflation
while ninth grade readiness is going
Canada both those high schools the red
rates are going up so a thing to
question I think is perhaps this is a
good measure for wealthier whiter
schools
is it a good measure for economically
challenged schools or are there other
factors playing in such as how teachers
and administrators respond case by case
basis more effective interventions yeah
so you said that for Roosevelt that the
01h 55m 00s
graduates would graduates grads give me
graduates we're going up but also in the
chair to schools where you saw is that
right I just I think you're the to tears
I'm sorry
the two tier two schools part Jefferson
and Roosevelt yes in both schools ninth
grade readiness has been trending down
but the grad rate has been trending hot
for both Obama that coming in lower bird
leaving hired yeah what's the
definitional readiness again
I said I thought my head I don't have a
hand yeah does that light green on track
it's not good so this is like kids
coming out of eighth grade
it's the nourishment here it's the
number of credits they acquired in their
freshman year
oh this is my good restaurant right on
Jack
so a question that we don't maybe that I
would ask is how their rings scheduled
and and I would be interested or that
their eighth grade scores mind my sense
is just the ones who aren't that great
but one eighth grade no surprise they
don't leave ninth grade on track to
graduate but it'd be interesting to see
well student mobility is hammering both
of those populations really Emily and
the grad rates for those kids are
horrible high schools after the start of
the freshman year grad rate goes down to
53%
other questions for this group
or can you say that my sense
before Sweden's to change high schools
after graduation correctly after the
start of their freshman year the grad
rate goes down to 53% it was between any
summary it's the last paragraph in the
first big section I think for me for
that too
be meaningful would be to have a better
understanding you're just passing
because the definition of passing that's
what you have eight classes that pass
six so you can fail to but you could
still get D's in your other classes is
that I bet if we did a peeper dive into
those numbers we even be able to predict
more those who need additional help
you're getting six credits that you're
getting several in core subjects that's
not a great trajectory did so but you
you brought up two things that sort of
like where you want to go a little bit
deeper in sort of explaining sort of
trying to try to find some more specific
information about the data and so what I
want to do right now is I apologize that
my handwriting is a little bit serial
killer but we'll get this summarized for
you and then we'll also start to think
about these data sources and so this
gives some staff some time to think
about like if we have any resources that
we can provide for you in terms of like
giving some of these answers some of
them might be straightforward
some of them might just be adding
greater contextualization you all might
be able to to answer these as well but
these are just sort of things that will
sort of keep on the radar in terms of
questions so the next thing I want to do
Joe did you have a question oh yeah I
just wanted to say something
the awards others have no you're in the
process of trying to surface the data
you feel who helped you set some goals
and with regards to 93 dog track
that is actually one of the focuses that
we have in our four year plan is
actually to try to bring some horse to
that whenever we're looking at eighth
grade converges on Janene high school
it's already time to make them and so
we're trying to find a way they actually
new wants that transition for them and
we have all kinds of designs that we're
02h 00m 00s
using out of measure and I need money to
support that work we have freshman
success teams that are not tracking
those students in a ways they have never
been trapped before our freshmen rates
of intents are far better than they were
in seventh grade and so that's a data
point we're excited about as well but a
little surface in the data that you have
here and at that point that you have
right now for the freshmen on track is
before any of these initiatives that
really pulled into place but I just
wanted to share as you're looking at
these things that the high school have
some 4-year plan of their own and we're
mid-year we're halfway through it and on
Monday actually are on Tuesday actually
we're going to be reworking it but
that's one of our core guys well so so
when you say me wants that do you mean
differentiating actual schedule and
supports all right how does we have you
saying we actually send people out to
the schools to actually try to try to do
a little bit more assistance and
bringing students to the school in ways
so that we can make them feel more
comfortable about the transition and one
of the things that Paul was talking
about in regards to students with me
right and that happens real frequently
early on they think they're going to go
to their neighborhood school and then
there's suddenly uncomfortable they want
to go over there one with the school I
mean we have very high mobility so
anything we can do to reduce that
mobility by making them comfortable that
it is part of that design another one
that science is actually to assign
somebody 10 that kid so that kid knows
somebody at the school and to do that as
early on as we possibly can in the
summer
that's great contacts reading go back to
okay so hopefully this is starting to so
hopefully some potential molds are
starting to percolate in your month
right so you've you've got some more
contacts more information I want to go
through one more exercise to start to
get you thinking about some potential
goal areas so what you're gonna do is in
new oh yes Scott did your question I'm
sorry so so I think what we're trying to
do so what we did last time was that we
were trying to get you comfortable with
the data like what is there right today
what we're trying to do is we're
starting on this foundation of these
accountability measures and trying to
get you to start thinking about like
where has there been grooves so if
you're gonna set a numeric goal where
you're gonna have a baseline and then do
that SMART goal where you're asking for
growth it's again just to get a sense of
like well what realistically has been
growth or not growth at PBS so that you
can start to calibrate as you start to
think about your goals so that's the
thing the second thing that we're gonna
do is to start thinking about like where
are where are we seeing some positive
gains right like where is there some
areas of positive deviance that you
might be able to start thinking about
like how how might this support our goal
as well so we're just continuing to
familiarize yourself with the data
that's there the next time that we get
together we'll go a little bit deeper
and I'm gonna leave you with the vision
we have the awesome vision that has the
Graduate profile and so right now we've
been focused in on these like
accountability measures but if you
remember for the last time there's
probably some other areas or different
measures that you might want to
incorporate it to this so we're just
kind of still doing that so I think what
I think my question I'm a little
concerned seven board members with the
goals they won't be as effective as
subject matter experts make
recommendations to the board which we
might want to ask questions about
perhaps modifying so getting used to the
data which in the last time insensibly
because like the Bacchus come without
and sort of know any data that's
available is there but I'm sort of
wondering what the subject matter
experts in the district think we should
be measuring to be most effective
and and are we flipping this process
around and not some productive way and
having us sort of come up with goals
that some people find our experts may
say so um I think that thank you for the
question
so a couple thing so we're the
superintendent's leadership team in
parallel is sort of going through these
these processes with you and are here
and available for your to be a resource
I think would we go through the
goal-setting and we're just trying to
calibrate with the board and we want to
take your lead in terms of how much you
want us to be a research so we want to
be able to provide information but if
you all from your conversations with AJ
I think what we've tried to establish is
that the board is really here to help
02h 05m 00s
set the goals and staff are here to help
inform those polls and then sort of you
know we're gonna be accountable to those
goals so we can talk a little bit more
about sort of like if you want some more
presentation or input but I think you
know what we wanted to do through this
process is sort of like have you in the
data and have staff available so that as
you're coming up with goals you have you
know for example Joe Craig we use
everyone here who can help contextualize
the data
I suspect that once you set the center
draft goals on July 2nd they're still
gonna have to be some recalibration
right so so SLT and then all the
departments that the school district
will sort of look at those goals and
there will be some sort of you know kind
of iteration around
we're sort of like that's a really good
goal but based on you know some of the
work that Joe just discussed around like
eighth grade and ninth grade transition
maybe another measure could be that so I
think that we're imagining a real
collaborative process by but what point
is well-taken in terms of is it the tail
wagging the dog because we we want to
make sure that we know what the
prioritized work streams are so that we
can see if they jive with our sense of
what's seems most urgent and what seems
of highest value to the community yeah I
mean so we don't end up out of whack
and you earlier conversation
you've seen a sort of a landscape of the
data that's available as an age bulb
system you see what the overall trends
are you see that there's some
differences across student groups you've
already started to sort of say some
these things out loud but given all that
what are the goal areas that matter to
this more importantly right it's
illiteracy is
all the days that we spent develop even
graduate portrait it was something in
there if you want to call out as
something that's important you know that
there's these 9-pound ability measures
who are held accountable to nothing's
changing we're going to continue and be
able to count along the desert is there
one you want to hone in that's more
aggressive which one do you want to call
out and I think staff sort of you know
looking to see how you shape a few goal
areas and to us AJ said come back and
say we're here some instruments for
measuring that you know here's here's
one suggested way we might track you
know our progress in that area or here's
some limitations of it right here's
approximate particularly when you start
without talking about progress
monitoring but and then there might be
some areas were not so easily tracked
and it would be a little bit leading
edge to say this one's really important
to us and we don't that traditionally
that isn't something that's trapped in
school districts but could we begin to
brainstorm some ways to see that we're
getting better at the things that we
said would be educator and sister shifts
for our vision so that's sort of the
discussion because I know Snap is
anxious to hear the board kind of begin
to dive into so that we can come back
with some suggestions about ways of
measuring trends that exist or not
begin to land upon some actual smart
ventures
all right thank you it's just a kiss and
everything I think what I want to make
sure what I'm not hearing and I would
have make sure big space for our staff
saying yeah you're on the right track or
no you're not and I probably I might get
a little too countenance today because a
few hours ago
you know I presented the regional
barometer to the Metro Board we did not
sit down with them and ask them to tell
us how to measure liveable communities
environment transportation we spent
weeks working with subject matter
experts within and outside of Metro to
develop the direct measures that we then
presented and there was feedback that
was useful and feedback that was not and
we had an opportunity we've got the
unuseful feedback from the board to say
so we hear where you're going but that
measure of greenhouse gas is actually
not an effective way so I just haven't
heard that yet is the you guys are all
talking about graduation rates but
that's actually not a measure of you
know a school success maybe it is I'm
saying and you know that we talk about
third grade literacy and graduation
rates and making sure achievement you
know scores are equitable and I guess I
just want to make sure there's some room
to push back and say here's the track
you you know the staff that you should
be so I think is
this is goal setting and then we'll ask
they say here's what what we're
02h 10m 00s
interested the goal standpoint how would
we measure measure that stats and so
we're not coming up we're not designing
the measurements but how many does that
like wait where is that we want her to
be I mean it works and here the mobility
critical right so how did that how did
the mobility become a goal that the
barometer is dimension
yeah no that's ignorant I think it's
right and excites us a community
livability and that's half came over I
just didn't feel like that's what we're
doing like that I would actually be much
more comfortable now in the conversation
about what we want to see what we want
to do but she would go up what does that
look like how do we measure that and so
that's I just I just want to make sure
and so that's kind of how we started if
you can instill aspects at almost the
exact same question we're going through
an exercise here it's to get us used to
an opportunity for us to pass
breastwork too good today I get familiar
with it but not necessarily work on
designing that's just a measurement so
what you find the answers for districts
under state accountability is States
will have their accountability criteria
districts will tend to identify some
milestones tell me those are academic
milestones eight three six nine and
they'll tend to set a growth target for
particular student groups because we
know they need acceleration in their own
the gap that's what you typically see in
a balance for our district level but
that's that's a more traditional
approach if the board you know wants to
think about another area
that but would that be and what we think
about improvement we're less thinking
about the immediate metric than we are
how do we gauge whether the capacity
conditions us who are improving because
we believe that we get better results so
that's what we want to be diagnosing and
tracking and supporting or so that how
do we employ those feet right yeah
slowly looking at staff levels and who's
moving in those four strategies that
straight of what retention rates or so
beacon channel by AJ yeah so notice if
it's related to student outcome then
it's something that we should measure
not that we would have to evaluate our
strategies and whether they're having a
return on investment you know getting
that the goals that you are writing like
does that we're beholding to coming up
with its energies are impactful for
dispensing with ones that are right so
so what I understand is these
accountability measures these are from
the state right so we have to measure
these you will be better than
non-violently and then we can add other
things to measure that we think are
important that the district knows
tendance is not really a student outcome
so like we could say like kids can't
learn if they're not in school so it's
important to have higher attendance rate
but like any attendance or resetting an
achievement goal and one of the ways
support achieving that is
and for me it's like okay so let's say
we set that by in five years black male
students will be reading at the 30% it's
the ninth converse and whatever the
globe we say and then it's up to staff
to say okay we're gonna work on
attendance we're gonna work on
curriculum entity didn't work on teacher
retention we're going to work on
administrator leadership and that those
are the strategies to reach that goal
and then our job is to say like the
question any day how to say is what's
working what's not and how can we
support you to get back on track right
like those are the pieces and maybe you
know music is up my heart so maybe
they'll be like okay it's music a factor
in helping kids read better or how you
know how do those strategies play out
and that's the conversation but at the
end of the day that's up to the staff as
you ability another goal area
particularly if it's for a student group
if it's african-american in a certain
area our strategies are gonna get
tailored to that student group right
eventually responsive strategies
relevant material and diverse workforce
and you know we would be thinking about
something that's gonna get back area you
said brass which is different and I see
your question about your own that like
that side on that matter so you're doing
that work of what are the inputs what
are the pieces to recycle applicability
that's an important second
02h 15m 00s
and I think the tempting thing for me is
to want to get into those inputs to say
oh we've got a we got to work on you
know these our attention or
administrators or color and that's not
like to even up step back and keeping an
eye out of it but not having a PR job is
that that's fine yeah so I think the
other challenge for the group right is
sort of like how you all are going to
coalesce around a specific set of goals
so part of the exercises are to sort of
like give it up get you familiar with
the data but also for you to like gauge
kind of like what you're interested in
so the the next thing that we were gonna
do and I think we saw have some time to
do it is to sort of find either in these
and I think we can adjust this a little
bit fine either in this data the Student
Success data the discipline data the map
data based on your interest areas where
are you seeing some positive deviance or
where are you seeing some success that
might that might sort of prove right
person momentum for a goal and so
whatever the quanta have you do is to
sort of get to new partners and trying
to find and I think this is kind of up
to you I was going to have you go by the
indicators but I think it's really just
sort of like trying to find like where
in whatever interests you so for example
literacy where in literacy are you seen
sort of like places where there's either
growth or places where there's like high
achievement for different student groups
for different tiers however you'd like
to do that that might sort of might sort
of prove like a nice place for a
baseline for potential goal as we go
into the the next steps it'll also I
think give folks a chance in your
partners to sort of state and see like
about Michelle's related to music
Andrews really into math and
and as you know get a sense of kind of
like we're you know where are your
passions where is your commitment and
and to kind of negotiate that sort of
thinking about like what are we starting
to coalesce around and we'll report out
and be able to sort of get a sense going
into July 2nd around like ok here's
where we have some here we have some
momentum here's where we potential
momentum and here's where your interests
are okay she's magical I want to be
partners Julia
try to if you don't mind that through
trying to parent was don't pair up with
each other so that way you can yeah
sorry that's the camp we can't be
okay so I'll do this and then I think we
can report out your your goal here is to
find an area that you're interested in
I'm not sure where you're seeing some
positive deviants where you're seeing
some like momentum that could
potentially you know be a place where we
might start with a goal that's
achievable
and then we're gonna share it out so
starting um and then uh s so the SLT
members are still here and can help
contextualize that so you might want to
if you're really interested in sort of
like thanks right on track or eighth
grade you might sort of say like hey Joe
what are you what do you got for me or
math with Sarah or or you know between
Keely and Craig like they know
everything about all this cool so
there's there's a wealth of information
and so I think everyone's going to be
defer to you but people will fuel give
their Cynthia varnish is one best
subject that we're interested in in that
word yeah enjoyed it bucks trying to
find four hundred okay so alright go
ahead and get to partners and we'll give
you a little bit less time and then
[Music]
02h 20m 00s
others are applying their problems but
some are actually learning
[Music]
[Music]
02h 25m 00s
so or you may say like I'm curious about
this outlier
[Music]
02h 30m 00s
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
02h 35m 00s
you're the lowest level you really want
but you're not the lowest so they're
grading on a curve
[Music]
yeah
[Music]
[Music]
02h 40m 00s
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
02h 45m 00s
refined and how Arvin like you know
graduating and like coming up
yes
[Music]
02h 50m 00s
we want to
okay offense let's let's start okay so
let's let's go ahead and do report outs
and this ball will go all captures it
felt like really good conversations so
who wants to go first
should make the Amy and Andrea do you
want to go first show was with us oh you
were just said it was just the TV sorry
okay so talk about it we wanted to focus
on on sort of third grade proficiency
and actually I have a data question and
I probably should have picked up last
week the s back scores for elementary
schools is that only given in third
grade or is that given besides up there
quick guys given every year say what is
this summary percentage of students
scoring three plus on the Smart Balance
is that percentage of students in every
grade
so I'm sorry I missed a summary of
jewelry three plus back so it would be
three so efficient this is not really
achieve but what we try to look for were
schools that were doing
well three-year trends in both ends and
so the ones that sort of jumped out are
teach but we also had the benefit of
having Keely and Joe it's part of our
conversation if you bring insights that
we wouldn't otherwise have which is you
know with liking that group
McGrath they've been able to sustain the
structures that they put in place with
those added resources even now that the
resources have been gone Ito some
volunteers and they just have really
strong instructional practices and
saying with Stevenson like just really
tight instructional practices so the
unfortunate thing is that in the absence
of you know strong and strategic support
the central office you're the places
where you might see sustained growth our
places that were able to do it on their
own because they had a really strong
leadership may be consistent teacher
core but it seems to be a exception in
Avatar
great one more interesting thing is that
Stevenson head growth starting from a
high level and woodlawn head growth
starting with a pretty low level and
then each sort of head growth starting
right around the middle
they both had I mean all three of those
schools that pretty large growth but
it's interesting to me which of those is
harder and also not just that harder but
a lot of times in schools where you do
start from that higher rate of
achievement you'll see a sense of
complacency that like these kids are
fine as opposed to like silly to move
these kids the same trajectory as
aviation to go deeper because we've
gotten some other fascinating
conversations but it's the growth
where's the boat right is it coming from
underserved students we started to lower
you know are we closing the achievement
02h 55m 00s
gap in the schools or we just or are we
just gentrified well I was you know
every big recession that we've had about
here especially particularly in the
schools in orange or beast we are seeing
you know a higher income wider
population move in and historic you know
black residents in particular being
moved out to far east in east of 82nd
east at 92nd and in fact you can see
that's where the city and the county are
concentrating there are services the son
schools are also big
you know there's some help by donating
because beaches and it almost fifty
percent Latino immigrant language Iran
perfect not rhesus Anna SH and not
because of them not because that's the
name oh yeah that's why it's so yeah but
they're the DI program okay so any other
questions for this group or any mr.
Brown okay I have a question about any
educators when you see a school that has
sustained growth and both areas are you
doing a question whether that's what's
the dental or you assume that there are
some structures in place that are
facilitated don't lured us they have
that their strategies outlined in their
school improvement plan or supervisors
are at the school on a regular basis
conferencing with school leaders and
hopefully the strategy improvement the
change effective are the ones that were
talking about and sharing with others
who have a similar profiles for
populations so we start cataloging we
start doing instructional rounds
demonstrated accelerating growth etc
there's a few things that we would do to
start sort of propagating some of those
practices that did you in question um so
I think this discussion I got touched on
it's a difference between having a
metric that's if you get over the bar
you're okay versus are we the stepchild
getting what they need and are capable
of and and just having a metric monster
and now he can go back to that 2002
teaching plan it was the mission
termination or whether it was was around
very much every child after potential
kind of a statement which is
so to note all right who wants to go
next
you go okay I'm so weak missus first we
got really kind up on the whole positive
deviance yeah what don't know what it's
just like the concept of it but that's
being positive it's deviant what what
does it mean it's like not mentioned if
you can't understand the words if we're
seeing flat across the district which is
kind of what the district totals seem to
be but we're finding a couple of schools
that are in a trending up so that's what
we into that by that I think that's so
we that we sort of built our goal around
but if you look at this is this is grant
and you can see all the level fours and
fives blues greens so that that's all on
like on track to graduate and in
graduation it's like great we're grants
really doing all of that and then you
look over here is math and English it's
all like global ones and twos it's like
okay they're they're killing it I'm
getting kids to graduate but they're not
mastering math or English and the
interesting thing is if you look at
almost all the high schools that's the
same
03h 00m 00s
but okay so this is Lincoln and I think
this is what we most of us would think
what we would want which is kids are
graduating on top they're on track
freshman year and their four-year cohort
graduated but they're also in most cases
Canadian students so level three four in
English and that
so the nmcli so we try to think of like
what a so Lincoln was you're kind of
like outlier or positive right there and
we Cleveland was something - oh yeah it
was like white as snow
we're reducible more data on lead only
is the vital for all
like how that impacted students so
Cleveland's this house those good as
Lincoln but it's also a more diverse
student body but it's definitely better
than
most of the others but map they're all
shopping they're all level 1 students
with disabilities
except for that's sellable - what is the
deal with it bub looks with the astrick
which is really level one except for
they're not in the lowest 10% range so
you know but there's something just came
up about the Latino students and the
impact of the this you know DIY to a
language you know Latinos speak English
right
I mean some people are different five
generation a generation yeah but there
are that's more I guess if we're lumping
everybody together we're not saris into
effect that some people are coming our
newer English speakers but most of the
people I imagine are English speakers
were a generation I see her one of the
words on how we do our Michael that's
two different yes it's a drag of
simulation that's the different
population in some cases right in some
cases and it's not there's a greater
than the lottery India life or native
Spanish speakers not just I see but even
country at birth so for example the
lowest achieving English term nationally
are us form so whether you're saying you
know many of them are generationally
here yes but many are still qualified
classified as an English Learner and
they have the lowest at they don't make
achievement
so given these observations what what
then was the takeaway as a potential
gold historically underserved students
will have growth and proficiency as
measured by blank by the experts from X
to Y from twenty nineteen twenty to
twenty two twenty three classes somebody
who's an English major to send the
structure of a sentence frame and it but
it sounds like what you're calling now
is historically underserved historically
underserved and really focusing on those
core classes so it's not it's not good
enough just to graduate but to try and
focusing on that those historic
underserved students and getting them
mastering their core classes we were
going back to this larger sort of plight
college readiness concept was just
because you graduate from ISIL doesn't
mean your college ready but mastery or
certain level of proficiency and core
classes probably would mean you're more
likely to be college ready okay okay so
we got some positive outliers and even
some extra credit going into some
potential Bowl using the SMART goal
format all right no pressure but next
who wants to go next or unless there's
any other questions for this group who
03h 05m 00s
wants to go next
max okay
and we started with third-grade reading
and then we talked about how to measure
mastery and math and then we ended up
with empathetic leadership kind of
thought that maybe other people cover
reading and math so feet we focus on
empathetic leadership we're looking at
the graduate profiles that are in the
vision capturing that of the nine
profiles one is about core knowledge and
so that's vitally important that
academic proficiency and in our
community is saying to us that it's not
only what students know when they need
some schools but without you but it's
who they are the kind of people and so
we've talked about how do we measure an
empathetic leadership and what does that
look like and fact shared about a video
from vestal that kind of highlights one
of those positive deviance is around
what happens at leadership share what
that videos like yeah the theme of that
school is social justice and so they did
I guess is their fifth grade you know
it's credibly diverse school a lot of
poverty and they look at classmates
didn't get a shower maybe didn't smell
good you know and so they have put
together they at some room that they
repurpose with the shower and with
shelves with clothes clean clothes get
around so you know if you you need to
everybody wants to feel good when
they're in school and you don't feel
good if you're not clean and looking
good so and the kids talking about it
was really impressive so if we're
talking about a demonstration project
which I think where we need to go with
an ethic leadership those kids had one
of the you were saying they're currently
meeting running raising money for
washer/dryer yeah I don't any one of the
best things that's got highlighted from
the video is one of the students said we
know that that our classmates may not
use these because there's a stigma with
use and that's okay but we wanted them
available and so that means that
empathetic leadership because so often
if we see a need and we create an
opportunity nice I needed people then
don't take advantage of that opportunity
or judgment and bias but I think that
pathetic leadership is captured in that
ability to say if they don't use it it's
okay we understand why someone might not
want to use it but we wanted to do this
anyway that's very best for fifth
graders is sort of a vignette a positive
outlier which led to
next level vision work you could imagine
graduate portrait the bring stakeholders
together to actually define an exemplary
level those skills in dispositions
demonstrated my students could look like
you actually educated students on the
front end to it say at the end of their
fifth grade elementary experience could
share their journey for any one of these
attribute areas for all of them for that
matter in front of a sort of a panel of
peers and community and parents and you
know there was a clear way to sort of
quantify that and imagine uploading
thousands of students graduate portrait
progress so that my twelfth grade there
actually but also to have those kind of
resources available for teachers in
building the years as they're making
climate plans like check out this best
practice over here you can pick whatever
form you want to take but what we're
looking for disposition demonstrated and
that's what they would have to sort of
we didn't write the sentence goal as
Julia's team demonstrated because it's
this we don't quite have that measure or
what it would look like worked out but
it was just that finding that as we
talked about what the values of our
communities been expressed in that
vision empathetic leadership is a huge
one and have that great example
if creators will demonstrate to
intermediate level graduate Parker to
further traffic particular string along
the trade you know you could start to
imagine that's alright any other
questions about this group okay last
group I'm gonna rate it
oh we're still on the literacy stuff
nobody got we're talking a lot of really
good conversations and then we looked at
03h 10m 00s
or even worse to come
let's also but first here just trying to
fix it with our sense of belts literacy
code work and and they're killing it
with everybody so poverty is a better
predictor of the racing class well when
I always get so it was it was question
some national gives you economic class
flipped about ten years ago DS be
race/ethnicity it sound less but at
least for a long time
yes was an outlier because race and
ethnicity continue to be the best
predictor of student achievement but far
beyond the class and the question is is
that still the case
yeah it's kind of looking like it might
be now switching to that class might be
the better predictor when I'm looking at
cross like suppose that we looked at the
scores therefore this Laurel there were
reduced 9% over tonight more than more
than 95 percent or any disagree others
times the outer I got the other ones
also on that question question plastic
question and probably hugely
any other so law reverse was your
outlier and the other well I mean
they're not really an outlier you look
at their nine percent free reduced their
kind of archaic what you think what's
happening there the compare not good
work it's a good initial sort of
imagination area is that a value to the
board they want to see our system so
we'll synthesize them so that they will
pick up on this July second who do will
give it some more in thinking as well
right pieces of comedy
thanks for your extra time getting more
accurate about serving for those which
will continue to get annually updated so
I think we're gonna pause here for for
tonight on this work but we're getting
closer and I enjoy the conversation this
evening thank you sad cuz they part that
and you're all dismissed
yeah what what's our schedule for the
right isn't there another cool setting
session nice one we check out that my
calendar July 2nd
so what another work session and after
the board's business earlier and well
this is where we'll sort of like bring
back the documents and then also start
getting into taking some of these these
goals but also developing some other
goals nothing else between town anything
else between now and that BPRD board
members
so just one last thing so we don't have
champagne it's evening we want to make
sure that you have the information for
your consideration certainly share more
next Tuesday we're reaching an exciting
milestone our community of stakeholders
and I think we'll outline some of that
to shoulder your official adoption but I
think at last count were posted
gatherings and stakeholder focus grants
and science scores means and so I
03h 15m 00s
themes and ideas Aqsa concepts are
represented here hopefully I think he
will recognize phrases that emerged from
a lot of dialogue and group and Plato
and type cout Messersmith whenever we're
doing our are in here and you know
already we're thinking ahead with the
Graduate portrait or we'll see it sort
of illustrated there I think some of the
unique features here are a fact
unlike other district visions we
actually went deeper into at least bring
really only tough to google get
greatness Furness
loading property we can't send it to the
printer we're done with work spitting
but thank you I think it's a collective
ourselves okay
