• Pre Planning Identification of Need
• 1. Develop/Review Student Learning Expectations
• 2. Examine alignment of learning expectations
  with assessments
• 3. Review assessment data
• 4. Identify areas of need based on assessment

• Plan
• 1. Describe the current process for addressing
  the identified area of need (flow chart)
• 2. Review data to determine baseline performance
  in the specific area identified
• (Run Chart/Pareto Diagram)
• 3. Identify potential root causes contributing
  to the identified area of need
• (Cause Effect Diagram, 5 Whys,
  Relations Diagram)
• 4. Study research-based best practice/improvement
  theory addressing areas of need

Action Research Overview for Professional
Learning Communities

• DO
• 1. Plan for implementation of improvement theory
  (Force Field Analysis, Action Plan)
• 2. Implement research-based best practices
  improvement theory based on root causes
  according to the Action Plan
• 3. Monitor the implementation of research-based
  best practice/improvement theory to insure
  integrity and fidelity4. Assess student learning

• Act
• 1. Standardize the implementation of
  research-based best practice (improvement theory)
  that improved student learning (revise the flow
  chart to reflect changes made to the system)
• 2. If improvement theory was unsuccessful
  continue the PDSA cycle (try another improvement
  theory based on the next identified root causes)

Study 1. Examine student assessment results
(compare to baseline) 2. Assess the impact of
research-based best practice/improvement theory
on student achievement

Math sub-test 11th grade
Math subtest ITED NPR
Target 85 based on trend data
Proficient above 40th NPR
Fall 2008 ITED

• By the fall of 2008, 85 of all 11th grade
  students will score above the 40th NPR on the
  ITED math subtest.

SMART Goal

• By the fall of 2008, 85 of all 11th grade
  students will score above the 40th NPR on the
  ITED math subtest.

15
SMART Goal

• During the 2006-07 school year, SAMPLE school
  will increase students proficiency in vocabulary
  skills in the non-proficient student subgroups as
  measured by the ITBS vocabulary sub test
  assessment (See targets below for each
  non-proficient sub group)

• During the 2006-07 school year, non-proficient
  students (as indicated by the ITBS math
  problem-solving subtest) at Sample school will
  improve their math problem-solving skills as
  measured by an increase in the percentage of
  students scoring in the high and proficient
  levels on the ITBS math problem solving
  assessment. The 2006-07 performance target is
  for 85 of Sample School students for score in
  the high and proficient levels.
