  Title I sch improve, MSP
• Longitudinal Data Systems (LDS)enter SEC into
  systems

27
Questions Addressed by SEC Data

• How can in-depth data on content of instruction
  be collected and reportednot topic checklists,
  to analyze teaching content in relation to
  standards, assessments, achievement?
• How can methods of teaching practices be compared
  across classrooms, schools, districts, and
  states?
• How can enacted curriculum data be reported in a
  manner to encourage use by teachers to improve
  instruction?

28
MSP PD Study Sites

• Brockport/Rochester SUNY
• Cleveland Municipal SD
• Corpus Christi AIMS - TX AM
• El Paso UTEP
• State MSPs ID, IL, OR, OK, ME, MT
• NSF MSPs Boston
• NJ MSP -- 12 districts
• NC MSP -- 17 districts
• SW PA MSP
• SCALE Los Angeles

29
Key Education Questions (contd)

• How can we measure the effects of standards-based
  initiatives on instructional practices and
  curriculum in classrooms?
• How can we analyze effectiveness of professional
  development on changes in teachers instructional
  practices? (i.e. determine the quality of
  professional development)

30
What if

• for Intro of SEC to Educators
• You could use data on instructional quality and
  content to guide professional development?
• You could have consistency across grade levels?
• You could know how well aligned your state
  standards were to the state assessment?
• You could compare how you teach content compared
  to how others across the nation teach?
• You could use anonymous teacher data to start a
  powerful school discussion about what the teacher
  needs are?
