1.0 Unpacking “Leadership:”

Its Effect on Student Outcomes & the “Who, What and How”Slide4

John Hattie’s work has changed the conversation about what works.

John Hattie

, author of

Visible Learning: A Synthesis of Over 800 Meta-Analyses Relating to AchievementSlide5

“We need a barometer of what works best, and such a barometer can also establish guidelines as to what is excellent…excellence is attainable: there are many instances of excellence, some of it fleeting, some of it aplenty…

- John HattieSlide6

Why a Barometer?

Idea was try to take almost everything that has happened in education that relates to student achievement and put it along a continuum to answer the following questions: What are the things that enhance student achievement?

What are the things that had some effect on student achievement?

What are the thing that have a negative effect on student achievement? Slide7

Domains

The 138 innovations were categorized into domains:ChildCurricula Home

Teaching

Teacher

SchoolSlide8

Most of the domains are within the realm of our control. Some are not. The innovations that fall in the home

and student domains are not really in our realm of control. Slide9

The Effect Size

Hattie took data from thousands of studies that focused on student achievement and converted that data into a common metric (effect size) so they can be put along a scale (barometer)An effect size is a measure of strength (of a program, practice, intervention, phenomena, etc.)Slide10

Overall Findings (2009)

The average effect size for all innovations attempted = 0.4Coincidentally looks like the bell shaped curve (half of the things teachers are doing are above .4 and half that are below 0.4)

Almost everything “works” (or has above a zero effect size)

90% of all effect sizes in education are positive

The 10% that are negative, half are “expected” (e.g. effects of disruptive students)

Consequently, 95% of all the things we do in education have positive effects (influences) in achievementSlide11

Implications

“When teachers claim they are having a positive effect on achievement or when a policy improves achievement this is almost a trivial claim: virtually everything works…” (Hattie, 2009, p. 16)

Setting the bar at zero is a very low bar

Any innovation that has an effect size greater than .15 – but less than .4 is in need of more consideration

Any innovation less than .15 is disastrousSlide12

Where do principals / school leaders fall along the barometer? Slide13

Unpacking Principal Leadership (ES = .36)

Moderators:Instructional leadership (ES: .42 - .77)Transformational leadership (ES: .09-.11)Some key distinctions between the two:

Relational

aspects are emphasized over evaluation of impact of the practices on student

outcomes

Leaders

may feel

uncomfortable rocking the

boat

Leaders place being liked by their staff ahead of

challenging

the status

quo

Robinson, Lloyd, Rowe (2008)Slide14

Defining “Instructional” Leadership

Establishing goals and priorities (ES = .42)

Ensuring high quality teaching (ES = .42)

Leading teacher learning (ES = .84)

Strategic resourcing (ES = .31)

Ensuring a safe and orderly environment (ES = .27)

Robinson, 2011Slide15

Leadership: Literature ReviewSlide16

Activity

Read the Leadership White Paper.

Use

at least one of the following sentence frames to facilitate your discussion of the

Leaders

White Paper

:

After leading previous EI implementations, I

focused more on the _____ from the list of 8 critical features.”

I

think an increased emphasis on

______

is a good strategy for me to use.Slide17

2.0 Reading Tiered Fidelity Inventory (R-TFI) Elementary and Secondary Editions Slide18

R-TFI Rationale

Only widely known reading fidelity assessment is the Planning Evaluation Tool-Revised (PET-R) that was revised in 2003The PET-R is designed to address elements of an elementary reading modelFocus is primarily on Tier 1Slide19

R-TFI Rationale (cont.)

Participating MiBLSi schools were reporting high PET-R data (at or above 80%) yet, their student outcome data (DIBELS) was not improving as expectedSlide20

R-TFI Rationale (cont.)

There is no known reading fidelity tool that addresses:Secondary readingTiers 2 & 3

The R-FTI (elementary and secondary editions) also includes a scoring guide (rubric) to assist School Leadership Teams in their efforts to accurately self-assess current status and provide suggestions for how to improve

The R-TFI editions also integrate some behavior elements into the itemsSlide21

R-TFI (Elementary Edition)Slide22

R-TFI (Elementary Edition) Constructs

Construct: School-Wide Reading ModelDefinition: Multi-tiered structures encompassing:

Evidence-based practices focused on the Big Ideas of Reading designed to improve reading outcomes for all students

Systems to address the continuum of needs across the student body

Data use and analysisSlide23

R-TFI (Elementary Edition) Domains

Tier 1: system that ensures all students have access to and benefit from the core reading curriculum which includes:High quality, evidence-based instruction that is differentiated to address the continuum of reading needs across all

students

U

niversal

screening on a periodic basis to measure the impact of the core reading curriculum and instruction; and to assess student reading performance Slide24

R-TFI (Elementary Edition) Domains (cont.)

Tier 2: System that ensures students who are not making adequate progress in the core reading curriculum are provided with evidence-based, supplemental instruction matched to their needs on the basis of levels of performance and rates of progressSlide25

R-TFI (Elementary Edition) Domains (cont.)

Tier 3: System that ensures students who have the most intensive needs in reading have access to and benefit from individualized, intensive interventions that that targets students’ skill deficits for the remediation of existing problems and the prevention of more severe problems Slide26

R-TFI (Secondary Edition) Structure

Tier 1: 25 itemsTiers 2 & 3: 19 itemsSlide41

There is overlap between the R-TFI elementary and secondary editions in the items that include behavior elements.Slide42

R-TFI Administration Recommendations

All members of the School Leadership team actively participation in the completion of the R-TFIOptions for first administration:

School Leadership Team can choose to only assess Tier 1 or all three tiers

It is not recommended a team skip Tier 1 and assess Tiers 2 & 3

Team can also choose to complete the entire R-TFI (all three tiers) in order to establish baseline dataSlide43

R-TFI Administration Recommendations (cont.)

After first administration, the R-TFI should be completed at least once per year (typically in the spring)The outcome of administering the R-TFI is action planning for continuous improvement

Anticipated timeframe is approximately 1-2 hoursSlide44

Typical R-TFI Administration Process

After introductions to the purpose and process of the R-TFI, for each item:

Consensus Defined: Can the minority live the majority vote score and publicly support it? Slide45

R-TFI Administration Recommendations (cont.)Slide46

R-TFI Next Steps

Begin collecting R-TFI data with elementary and secondary schoolsR-TFI is a part of our MiBLSi project data collection requirements

Continue our work to validate the measures

Collaborate with University of Oregon to place the R-TFI (elementary and secondary editions) on the field test site of PBIS Assessments so other schools across the country can access and if willing, participate in the validation processSlide47

Activity

Access the R-TFI Scoring Form (elementary or secondary based on what level you lead / support leadership).

Flip to the 8 critical features of leadership in the Leadership White Paper.

Categorize the Tier 1 items (as best you can) based on those that, address the “Who” critical features and the critical features for the “What” of leadership.Slide48

Awarded the grant by the U.S. Department of Education in August, 2015Slide54

Michigan Context

800+ districts54 Intermediate School Districts (ISDs) who support local districts within a region

MiBLSi is a state-supported MTSS model with implementation emphasis at the school and district levels

(K-12)

MiBLSi focuses on developing capacity at the ISD and district levels to implement an integrated behavior and reading MTSS modelSlide55

Michigan Context (cont.)

MiBLSi has more experience with elementary implementation sites (2003-present).Secondary support began in 2006-2007 with Middle SchoolsHigh School support began in 2011-2012 starting with PBIS and now, with high school content (2014-2015)
