Kinds of Data • • Office discipline reports Behavioral incidents Attendance Suspension/Detention Observations Self-assessments Surveys – Olweus Bullying Prevention Program Survey Results • Etc.
General Approach: “Big 5” • • • # referrals per day per month # referrals by student # referrals by location #/kinds of problem behaviors # problem behaviors by time of day
Looking at Data
• Data help us ask the right questions…they do not provide the answers: Use data to • Identify problems • Refine problems • Define the questions that lead to solutions • Data help place the “problem” in the context rather than in the students.
• Decisions are more likely to be effective and efficient when they are based on data. • The quality of problem-solving depends most on the first step (defining the problem to be solved) • Define problems with precision and clarity
Review Status and Identify Problems Team Initiated Problem Solving Model Evaluate and Revise Action Plan Develop and Refine Hypotheses Collect and Use Data Develop and Implement Action Plan Discuss and Select Solutions Problem Solving Foundations
Problem solving Mantra • Do we have a problem? • (Identify the primary problem) • What is the precise nature of the problem? • (Define, clarify, confirm/disconfirm inferences) • Why does the problem exist, & what should we do about it? • (Hypothesis & solution) • What are the actual elements of our plan? • (Action Plan… what will we do, who will do it, when it get done) • Is our plan being implemented? • (Evaluate & revise plan) • Is the plan having the desired effect? • (Maintain, modify or terminate the plan)
