Our Goal

• To conduct a school finance adequacy study

• With a goal of what it takes programmatically and financially to educate students to a high, proficiency standard

• There are many more details, but the above is the core of our Initiative

Six Core Strategies• Recalibrate goals for student learning

– Ratchet up proficiency levels to a world standard needed for success in the knowledge-based, global economy

• Re-engineer schools– Change what schools focus on, how they are organized

and how they use resources – evidence-based report

• Redesign teacher development– Help all teachers acquire the instructional expertise to

educate all students to rigorous proficiency standards and the ability to think, understand, problem solve and communicate

Six Core Strategies• Reinforce achievement for struggling students

– Provide extended learning opportunities so all students achieve to high standards

– Hold performance standards high, vary time– Close the achievement gap

• Retool schools’ technology so they can tap the educating potential of the Internet

• Restructure teacher compensation– Pay teachers individually for what they know and can

do, and collectively for improving student learning

Major New Goals• Double student achievement

– Have 90% of students – including low income, students of color, ELL and students with disabilities – achieve to proficiency standards as rigorous as those of the national testing system, NAEP

– Not good enough to better than the national average and Alabama and Mississippi; need to be better than Singapore and Korea and other global competitors

• Have all students take a “college prep” curriculum– Knowledge and skills for the global, knowledge-based economy

require the same skills to enter the work force or go to college after high school graduation

– Career-tech education is info-tech, nano-tech, bio-tech and health-tech if it is to function to bolster Wisconsin’s economy to a faster growth curve

Meeting the Goals• Requires a huge increase in student

academic achievement

• Our tag for this: Double Results, meaning– Double results literally – Madison for low

income and minority– Raise performance to 90% of kids are at or

above proficiency– Raise performance by quantum amounts – if

60% at proficiency, hike to 90%

Six Steps to Doubling Results• We know how to double student academic

performance• Examples around the country and in Wisconsin

show how student achievement results can be doubled– Madison (WI) – (need to find other WI examples)– Ed Trust: Aldine (TX), Long Beach (CA), Newport

News (VA), – Recent studies by our staff in the state of Washington

including Washington's Reading First Schools, Kennewick, and others

Six Steps to Doubling Results1) Analyze student achievement data to become

deeply knowledgeable about performance issues and nature of the achievement gap

Importance of formative assessments

2) Review evidence on good instruction and effective curriculum

Throw out the old curriculum and replace with a different, more rigorous curriculum

Ongoing use of “formative assessments” as part of data-based decision making for continuously improving instructions

Six Steps to Doubling Results3) Invest heavily in teacher training

Resources for trainers Intensive summer institutes, longer teacher work

years Instructional coaches in all school

4) Provide extra helps for struggling students -- state funded and federal Title 1

Double math and reading periods Tutoring: 1-1, 1-3, 1-5 Extended days Summer School ELD for ELL students

Page 10: 1 Wisconsin School Finance Adequacy: Resources to Double Student Performance Allan Odden Anabel Aportela, Sarah Archibald, and Michael Goetz Consortium

10

Six Steps to Doubling Results

5) Smaller classes in early elementary years

K-3 at 15 from randomized trials

6) Strong leadership around data-based decision making and improving the instructional leadership, by both the superintendent and principal

Six Steps to Doubling Results

Bolster with measuring and reporting results, and accountability for both students and teachers

Measure results, faculties analyze results and use to continue to improve instruction

Page 12: 1 Wisconsin School Finance Adequacy: Resources to Double Student Performance Allan Odden Anabel Aportela, Sarah Archibald, and Michael Goetz Consortium

12

Six Steps to Doubling Results• But the examples are of schools that have

boosted student performance in 1-2 content areas, and at one education level, through reallocating extant resources

• And now have no more resources to reallocate

• Need similar resources for all 5 core content areas and in all elementary, middle and high schools

Page 13: 1 Wisconsin School Finance Adequacy: Resources to Double Student Performance Allan Odden Anabel Aportela, Sarah Archibald, and Michael Goetz Consortium

13

The New School Vision …• Personalized learning environments – school

units 400-600 or smaller – strong parent involvement and community outreach

• Most important factor: high quality teacher in every classroom– Urban and rural, low performing schools, math and

science• Ongoing, intensive training for all teachers in all

subjects and at all levels • Next most important factor: a rigorous

curriculum program in all core content areas

Page 14: 1 Wisconsin School Finance Adequacy: Resources to Double Student Performance Allan Odden Anabel Aportela, Sarah Archibald, and Michael Goetz Consortium

14

The New School Vision …• Focus on teaching students to think, problem solve, apply

knowledge in the core subjects of math, science, reading/English, history, language

• Relentless pursuit of high levels of student achievement through a range of extended learning opportunities

• Bolstered with significant parent outreach and community support

• Reinforced by a changed teacher compensation system that is built on a more adequate base salary and tied to teacher knowledge, skills and instructional expertise

The Finance Analysis …..• Evidence-based analysis

– Produces a completely re-engineered school– Think of a hybrid car but not a hover-mobile

• The Prius gets twice the gas mileage of a traditional car, but still looks like a car

• It is a re-engineered car with double performance

– Built on strategies that are evidence-based– Evidence that each strategy has boosted student

academic achievement, and all strategies used in schools that double student performance

– Assumes reallocation of all extant resources to the elements of the model

Needed to Make the Investments Produce a High Rate of Return …

• State, regional, district and school leadership around the strategies to double student performance– Curriculum change, school restructuring,

resource reallocation, relentlessly pursue results

• Ambitious capacity development strategy• Real accountability

– Measure student performance and link to classrooms/teachers/schools to facilitate analysis of what works

Page 29: 1 Wisconsin School Finance Adequacy: Resources to Double Student Performance Allan Odden Anabel Aportela, Sarah Archibald, and Michael Goetz Consortium

29

Needed to Make the Investments Produce a High Rate of Return …

• Restructured teacher compensation system to recruit and retain high quality teachers in all classrooms – a stronger base salary with pay increases linked to knowledge and skills– Create a four tier licensure system – new teacher,

apprentice, career, master– Each category a teacher performance category– Salary structure that makes teacher performance the

KEY factor that produces increases in base pay– Use a comparative wage index to adjust salary levels

across regions to insure a high quality teacher– Provide pay premiums for urban and rural teachers,

math and science teachers, teachers in high poverty schools
