Student Success Process How was this developed?

• Benchmarking visits to Brazosport, TX Charlotte/
  Mecklenberg, NC Pearl River, NY
• Developed by teams of teachers and administrators
  in Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation,
  facilitated by Dr. Steve Benjamin
• Classroom Instruction That Works, Effective
  Schools, Data-Driven Decision Making,
  Unwrapping/Power Standards

  Passing
• B test-after remediation-100 Passing

How Do We Get There From Here?
13
Root Cause Analysis

• Must engage in gap analysis to determine causes
  of current failure

Top Five Root Causes
SSP will help with 1, 2, 4, 5
15
Implement district-wide scope and sequence by
unwrapping standards and building-level
curriculum maps based on Indiana Academic
Standards.

Step 1. EOY Test

• Each grade level will give EOY test.
• Standards based
• Tests are graded by Scantron
• Immediate results
• Data is then disaggregated by standard-weakest to
  strongest

17
Use Weak-to-Strong and Power Indicator Data to
Build IC
18
Develop Reteaching Calendar

• Use disaggregated data-weakest to strongest

19
Develop Milk Crate Curriculum

• Milk crates with hanging file folders labeled
  with each Power Indicator. Crates will hold
• A/B tests
• Mini lessons
• Tutorial and Enrichment lessons.

Three Keys to Making SSP Time Successful

• NEVER missed!
• T E Materials MUST be Standards Based
• Shouldnt be able to tell on first glance if
  students are in Tutorial group or Enrichment
  group
• Teachers should rotate teaching TE

21
Other Thoughts

• Focuses the school on student mastery of
  essential skills, not just covering the content
• Supports best practices already in placenot in
  conflict
• Limited disruption to current modes of operation,
  although you will need to dedicate a 30-40 minute
  TE period
• Its a way of working systematically in teams,
  not the purchase of a new set of learning,
  teaching materials
