FOCUS VISION ACHIEVEMENT JOURNEY DIRECTION

Debbie Wants You 2 Know…

A. Look at a variety of data. Climate, teacher turnover, discipline, achievement data for needs and support for their school – their own data B. Spend time talking about this data with their staff C. Student achievement is not just test scores, it is part of the learning square D. Wants them to collaborate – wants them to talk with one another about what is working at each school – wants all children to learn

Professional Learning Opportunities • – series of workshops Using Evidence to Meet the Needs of • ALL Learners

School Climate Resource Interpretation South Carolina Educational Policy Center College of Education, University of South Carolina Dr. Diane Monrad

Resource 1: Factor Scores Shows school’s climate trends over a four-year period for climate factors • from each respondent group (teachers, students, and parents). The total number of respondents per survey per year is located at the • top of the graph. A school needed to have at least 10 teacher, 15 student, and 10 parent ratings to compute factor scores. The 0 line represents the average across factor scores for all schools at • the same organizational level. Scores should be interpreted in terms of standard deviations. The • number tells how far away from the average your school is, while the sign, + or -, tells you if your school is above or below the average.

Resource 2: Percentile Ranks This table indicates the relative position of your school’s climate scores. • Your school’s teacher, student, and parent factor scores are compared to other schools in the same organizational level across the state. The position of your school is shown for a four-year period by the three • groups (teachers, students, parents). An examination across rows indicates how scores for a respondent group • compare across years. The examination down columns indicates how scores compare across • factors for a given year.

Resource 3: Item Scale Percentage Tables This table indicates the percentage of respondents selecting each • response category for every question by respondent group. The table contains the items in rows and the response categories in • columns. Response categories change across survey types and within the parent survey. Items are grouped by factor; items from the “Other Items” section are • not included in the factor analysis for technical/statistical reasons.

Resource 4: Boxplots This graph compares your school’s percentage agreement (Mostly Agree • & Agree categories) for each item to other schools at the same organizational level. The graph indicates how your school (blue triangle) compares to other • schools at the same organizational level (box plot). In addition, it shows how your school (blue triangle) compares to other similar schools (red triangles).
