Data sets
Overview:
As a part of your Week 1 assignment, you will identify thegreatest areas of inequity based on the TAPR data and benchmark results. You will also write one measurable S.M.A.R.T. goaland three measurable objectives for the identified inequity. You will also suggest appropriate activities for the principal and facultyto conduct in order to address each objective.
S= Specific
M= Measurable
A= Achievable
R= Relevant
T= Time-bound
While goals and objectives are closely related, goals are broader and cover a span of 3-5 years, while objectives are more specific and for a shorter duration, typically one year. Objectives (1) identify a target population, (2) identify assessments and data sources that will be used to meet the objective, and (3) specify anticipated growth or progress. Activities must be tied directly to the objective.
Part 1: Data Analysis
(W1LO1, W1LO2 / CLO1), (W1LO3 / CLO2)
Directions:Compose 3 paragraphs (minimum 150-wordfor each)analyzing the data from the TAPR and benchmark results.
First paragraph:
Identify the most significant academic performance gaps based on the data.
Second paragraph:
Cross-reference and synthesize the data from benchmark and state assessments.
Final paragraph:
Create an initial plan for finding the root cause of the academic performance gaps. Consider the following:
Note: Use the Root Cause Analysis Model and PowerPoint in the course Resources to assist you.
Part 2: S.M.A.R.T. Goal & S.M.A.R.T. Objectives
(W1LO4 / CLO3)
Directions:Compose one S.M.A.R.T. goal and threeS.M.A.R.T. objectives to address one targeted area of need you found from the TAPR and benchmark data. Expound on each of the five S.M.A.R.T. components by providingcomprehensive details for each componentwithin the tables. For each of the three objectives, list one activityfor both the faculty and the principal that will help attain the objective.
