WRT Measurement Plan
Theory of Action
What is your Theory of Action? Which gap have you targeted? How have you engaged stakeholders in the identification of the greatest area of need?
Which high yield, evidence-based strategy is included in your Theory of Action?
How does your Theory of Action describe and plan for strategic action?
Success Criteria
How will we account for local context while maintaining fidelity to the WRT Action Plan?
How will you engage colleagues in co-creating success criteria? What would your plan look like, sound like after is is fully implemented? What will students, educators and families/caregivers be able to do or articulate and what competencies/mindsets would they have?
Monitoring
How will you implement the action of your ToA and document your journey?
What purposeful and deliberative actions will you take and how will you ensure that careful and thoughtful actions are taken from your theory and practice?
Data Collection and Analysis
What type of evidence will you need to collect?
How, when and where will the evidence be collected?
How will you organize the data (settle on and arrange evidence of student learning like journals, entrance or exit tickets, surveys, or anecdotal notes of conversations or observations)?
How will you read/analyze the data?
How will you use co-constructed success criteria to describe the data?
What process will you use to classify the data (identify themes and patterns in the evidence of student learning)?
How will you ensure that you interpret the data through an equity lens?
Analysis
What questions, curiosities and wonderings do educators have in regards to Black student achievement?
What practices or processes, within educator control, contribute to low achievement?
Which high-yield, evidenced based interventions have we instituted?
How are educators working individually and collectively to build their capacity to meet the needs of students who have historically underperformed?
What have you done to set the conditions for all stakeholders to participate in ensuring equity for all Black students?
How will we monitor our progress - find what works or doesn’t work? What measurement outputs and outcomes will you use?
Next Steps
What ideas, opinions, questions are emerging from your inquiry?
Are there commonalities in themes/ideas/conclusions among stakeholders?
What needs, variations, and/or potential adaptations do you think might be necessary?
What purposeful and informed next steps might be considered?
Questions about Black students’ learning
What is our most important question about student learning related to who students are in terms of their individual, social and learner identity?
Where are gaps in achievement? In access, opportunity or engagement?
What data (qualitative & quantitative) do we need to explore? How will we analyze this data and how will we arrive at conclusions after examining this data?
How will we engage multiple stakeholder voices in analyzing this data?
What will the feedback loop entail?
