Today’s Professional Learning Objectives
Participants will:
1. Build knowledge about the contributors to SWD (students with disabilities) performance gaps, and data-based problem-solving
1. Use data-based problem-solving skills to improve secondary level student outcomes: SWD proficiency rates
1. Use a variety of data sources to develop action plans
![Page 10: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
District and School Leaders Survey
Identified areas of “high need” at secondary level:
• SWD Proficiency
• Attendance/Chronic Absenteeism
• Student Engagement

OSEP “Dear Colleague” Letter
Reinforces and clarifies:
1. SWDs can reach high expectations when provided appropriate instruction and supports
2. IEP goals must be aligned with the standards of the grade in which the student is enrolled
3. Goals should be sufficiently ambitious “to close the gap” over time
4. Access to general education curriculum that will prepare for college and career success
(OSEP, 2015)

Data-Based Problem-Solving
• The use of a structured, process to improve outcomes for ALL students
• Four-step problem-solving approach:
1. Defining the goals and objectives to be attained
2. Identifying possible reasons why the desired goals are not being attained
3. Developing a plan for and implementing evidence-based strategies to attain the goals
4. Evaluating the effectiveness of the plan

School Capacity to Support At-Risk Students
Lilgengren & Walker, 2017
• School counselors, interventionist or staff mentors can support students
0-20 Students
• Will take a coordinated team effort with multiple staff member support off-track students
20-50 Students
• Will need multiple teacher/staff teams and possible external support, may need someone to oversee efforts
50+ Students

Data-Based Problem Solving: Problem/Goal Identification
• The focus is on the overall health and wellness of the system First– Goal is at least 80% of your population on-track
(Davis, Herzog, & Legters, 2013)
• Overall
• By indicator
• By subgroup
• What is the gap between goal and student performance at all levels?
• Problem-solve at the student-level after system analysis
![Page 19: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Problem Analysis
• Develop hypotheses
• Develop prediction statements
to determine…
• Why is there a difference between what is
expected and what is observed?
• How do we target the intervention that will have
the highest probability of being successful?

CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM
![Page 37: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Chronic Absenteeism (CA)
• No standard definition– Often based on total number
of days missed• Does not differentiate
reasons for absences
– Includes: excused, unexcused and suspensions
• Frequently defined as:– Missing 10% or more of
instructional days• HB7069 K-8 EWS
• FL reports students missing 21 or more days per year
– Missing 15 or more days of school per year
• Important Differences -• Truancy = unexcused
absences (s. 1003.26(b), F.S.)
• Average Daily Attendance = how many students show up each day
• Chronic Absence = missing so much school for any reason that a student is academically at-risk - missing 10% or more of school

• 9th grade SWD absent 50% more days than GenEdpeers
• OCR data report:– SWD in elementary 50%
more likely to be CA than GenEd
• NYC study (elementary):– SWD more likely to be CA
than GenEd peers– ED 20+ percentage points
more likely to be CA– LD 10.2 percentage points
more likely to be CA– Those in exclusive settings
16.7 percentage points more likely• ED in exclusive 25 percentage

What are the Implications of
CA?
Missing 10 percent or more of instructional days has significant impact on student outcomes.
Chronic absenteeism is associated with:
Decreased reading levels
and overall academic
performance
Decreased on-time
graduation rates and
post-secondary enrollment
Increased dropout rates
(Balfanz & Byrnes, 2012; Chang & Romero, 2008)

Educator Beliefs
Contributing Factors to the Performance Gap
When educators don’t believe that students with disabilities can achieve grade level standards they may:
• Provide instruction and remediation that does not address the grade level standards
• Provide less feedback than they provide other students
• Assume that when students do poorly it is the best the student can do (reinforces low expectations)
• Be less likely to change instructional strategies because they don’t think it will make a difference
![Page 60: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Educator Beliefs
When educators at the secondary level don’t believe that students with disabilities can achieve the grade level standards they may provide instruction or remediation that they feel is more appropriate for the student. But the FSA and EOCs assess the grade level standards. All Tiers of instruction must align with the grade level standards or you end up with performance gaps.
![Page 61: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Educator Beliefs
Effective educators:
• believe their fundamental task is to evaluate the effect of their teaching on students' learning and achievement
• have high expectations for all students
• see assessment as feedback about their impact
• focus more on learning than teaching
• build strong personal connections with students and colleagues

Educator Beliefs
Hypothesis - The problem is occurring because:– instruction for students with disabilities is different
from the instruction for students without disabilities– students with disabilities are provided remediation
that is not aligned with the standards that will be assessed
– instructional staff respond different to students with disabilities because they expect a lower level of achievement
– instructional staff don’t believe that what they do to change instructional strategies will make a difference for students with disabilities

Student Beliefs
Contributing Factors to the Performance Gap
When students don’t believe that they are capable of successfully addressing the grade level standards they may:
• choose obstacles in order to avoid failure
• become dependent on adults for directions, goals, help, etc.
• feel like there is no point in trying, that failure is inevitable
• believe that positive feedback is false and invalid
![Page 67: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Student Beliefs
When students with disabilities don’t believe they can learn they start to become disengaged. If that starts in elementary or middle school then by the secondary grades the students may be severely disengaged. Moving from being severely disengaged to emotionally engaged in learning, for these students, may take a highly focused effort. In addition, the development of social/emotional skills needed for successful post secondary inclusion may be limited.
![Page 68: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Student Beliefs
Highly Engaged Students Believe:
• they can problem solve and find solutions when they have a problem learning
• they can monitor their own progress
• they can set appropriate learning goals for themselves
• their school is committed to helping them succeed and achieve the grade level standards
• they have real possibilities for success in their future

Student Beliefs
Hypothesis - The problem is occurring because:
– students are not trying to succeed on the grade level standards because they believe they will fail
– students don’t have a growth mindset for learning –they don’t believe they can change
– students are dependent on adults for all instructional support and help
– students don’t believe the school cares about helping them achieve the grade level standards

Standards-aligned IEPs
An Individual Education Plan (IEP) identifies the services, supports, and elements of specially designed instruction that address the unique needs of a student with a disability needed to enable that student to participate in the general curriculum and address the standards for the grade in which the student is enrolled.
![Page 73: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Standards-aligned IEPs
Contributing Factors to the Performance Gap
IEPs can set the stage for academic and behavioral expectations for educators, students, and parents. Problems can occur when:
• the IEP sets academic goals that are not aligned with the grade level standards
• the IEP does not address supports needed to address the grade level standards
• the IEP does not address appropriate educational materials
![Page 74: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Standards-aligned IEPs
For students in the secondary grades who are still struggling with reading or basic math skills, educators may decide to provide remedial services to help the students “get ready” to address the standards. Unfortunately, “ready means never.” IEPs must address the supports needed for students with disabilities to address the standards for the grade in which they are enrolled. Otherwise they will never be prepared for assessments based on the grade level standards.
![Page 75: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Standards-aligned IEPs
Standards-aligned IEPs:
• are based on the student’s educational needs identified in the present level of performance and aligned to the standards for the grade in which the student is enrolled
• have goals that address a variety of skills and behaviors for satisfactory or proficiency on the grade level standards
• consider any needed assistive technology, accommodations, and accessible educational materials

Standards-aligned IEPs
Hypothesis - The problem is occurring because:– the goals on the IEPs are not aligned with the standards

– the goals on the IEPs do not address skills and behaviors needed to attain satisfactory or proficiency on the grade level standards
– the IEPs do not address whether or not the educational materials are appropriate for the students
– the IEP team members do not possess critical understandings (effects of the disability on learning, the grade level standards, assistive technologies, accommodations, accessible educational materials, etc.)

Inclusion
A school district shall use the term “inclusion” to mean that a student is receiving education in a general education regular class setting, reflecting natural proportions and age-appropriate heterogeneous groups in core academic and elective or special areas within the school community; a student with a disability is a valued member of the classroom and school community; the teachers and administrators support universal education and have knowledge and support available to enable them to effectively teach all children; and a teacher is provided access to technical assistance in best practices, instructional methods, and supports tailored to the student’s needs based on current research.
![Page 82: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Inclusion
Contributing Factors to the Performance Gap
Students in non-inclusive settings can experience:
• reduced instructional time, up to 35 percent less instructional time than in a general classroom
• a reduction in instruction rigor, with academic activities not addressing the expectations of the grade level standards
• immaturity in the areas of social, emotional, and communication skills
• the lack of a growth mindset regarding the ability to learn and achieve the grade level standards
![Page 83: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Inclusion
In secondary grades students are expected to start exhibiting skills and behaviors needed for post secondary success. Having opportunities to model students without disabilities throughout each day and being able to participate in peer tutoring can result in significant increases in spelling, social studies, and other academic indicators. Daily engagement in general classrooms can result in fewer absences from school, fewer referrals for behavior, and better post secondary outcomes. The lack of these opportunities increases the skill and academic behavior gap between students with disabilities and students without disabilities.
![Page 84: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Inclusion
In Inclusive Schools:
• school administrators advocate for all SWDs to have the same school choice options as students without disabilities to ensure all SWDs receive educational services in their neighborhood school or school of choice
• a multi-tiered system of student supports (MTSS) and problem-solving process is consistently used by school personnel to ensure progress in the general education curriculum, across all grades and settings, for all students with and without disabilities

Inclusion
Hypothesis - The problem is occurring because:
–students in non-inclusive classrooms are receiving less instruction time than students in general classrooms
–students in non-inclusive classrooms are receiving instruction that is less rigorous than instruction in general classrooms
–students do not have daily opportunities to work collaboratively with non-disabled peers

Universal Design for Learning
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a set of principles for curriculum development that gives all individuals equal opportunities to learn. It removes barriers to engagement.
![Page 89: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Universal Design for Learning
The general education curriculum is often based on an “average student” and focuses on teaching to the middle with an expectation of a bell curve response. Some students are expected to do well, most to do average, and some to fail.
![Page 90: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Universal Design for Learning
But there is no such thing as an “average student.” There are learning skill differences between all students.
![Page 91: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Universal Design for Learning
The principles of UDL provide a framework for curriculum, instruction, and assessment development that is flexible and adapts to the systemic variability between all students.

Universal Design for Learning
Universally designed education moves from “teaching to the middle” to “learning for all.” Instead of a bell curve we have flexible Tiers of instruction designed so all students succeed.

Universal Design for Learning
Contributing Factors to the Performance Gap
• students with disabilities do not have supports and flexibility to help with reading text, basic mathematics, memory, organizing information, and demonstrating what they have learned
• curriculum and instruction is designed for an “average student” and presents barriers to learning for students with disabilities
• teachers do not have the tools, resources, or instructional flexibility to differentiate learning activities for students with disabilities in the general classroom
![Page 94: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Universal Design for Learning
By the secondary grades students with disabilities should be independent in problem solving and self-accommodation, and should be able to evaluate what does and does not remove barriers to learning. A UDL environment can support academic choice in elementary school; personal problem solving in middle school, and independent practice in high school. Without the flexibility of choice and availability of tools to choose from these skills will not emerge and students with disabilities will not be prepared for post secondary settings.
![Page 95: Secondary Problem Solving](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022415/5a6509137f8b9af3398b50a1/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Universal Design for Learning
Indicators for UDL Classrooms:• students have choices in how they gain

Universal Design for Learning
Hypothesis - The problem is occurring because:
– the educational materials are not appropriate for students with disabilities
– students with disabilities do not have access to tools needed to remove barriers to engagement

The Standards
Concise, written descriptionsof what students are expected to know and be able to do at specific stages of their education. Learning standards describe educational objectives – i.e., what students should have learned by the end of a course, grade level, or grade span – but they do not describe any particular teaching practice, curriculum, or assessment method.

The CurriculumCurriculum refers to the lessons and academic content taught in a school or in a specific course or program referring to the knowledgeand skills students are expected to learn, which is determined by the learning standards they are expected to meet. Standards aligned curriculum would then be the specific learning standards, lessons, assignments, and materials used to organize, teach, and assess a particular course.

Hypothesis
Hypothesis:
The Problem is occurring because of the wide range of student ability within the classroom (71%).
We may decide as a team to review additional components of the data we have, or that we need a little more data to form our prediction statement.

Data-Based Problem-Solving: Intervention Design and Implementation
• Interventions should be:– Collaboratively developed
• Consider internal and external stakeholders/partners
– Matched to root cause
– Matched to the scope of the problem
– Matched to the intensity of the problem
– Planned explicitly• What, who, when, where
– Monitored for effectiveness

Principles of Intervention Design
Intervention is…
• Well-planned- procedures to be applied are specified clearly and completely
• Environmentally Focused- actions taken modify the environment not the individual
• Goal Directed- the team writes an ambitious, yet attainable goal statement prior to intervention design
