Part 1: Data Analysis

(W2LO1, W2LO2, W2LO3 / CLO1), (W2LO4 / CLO2)

Directions: Compose 4 paragraphs (minimum 150-word each) analyzing the data from the attendance and discipline reports. 

First paragraph:

Identify the most significant findings from the campus Average Daily Attendance (ADA) reporting.

· Disaggregate attendance reporting by subpopulations. 

· Compare the ADA to academic performance of each subpopulation. 

· Report any correlations you found.

· Cite evidence from the data to support your statements. 

Second paragraph:

Identify the most significant findings from the campus discipline reporting. 

• Disaggregate discipline reporting by subpopulations. 
• Compare the discipline reporting to the academic performance of      each subpopulation.
• Report any correlations you found.
• Cite evidence from the data to justify how you      identified the significant gaps. 

Third paragraph:

Cross-reference and synthesize ALL sets of disaggregated data from weeks 1 and 2.

• Identify the THREE most      significant correlational findings. 
• Identify any subpopulations that are at risk in all areas      (academic assessments, ADA, and discipline)
• Cite evidence from the data to justify how you      identified the significant gaps. 

Final paragraph:

Create an initial plan for finding the root cause of the disparities in performance and behavior of the identified subpopulations. Consider the following: 

Þ Why does one/some group(s) have a lower ADA than others?

Þ Why does one/some group(s) have a higher frequency/level of discipline reporting than others? 

Þ Where/how can these questions be answered? 

Þ Who may be able to provide this information? 

Þ What data validates the information provided? 

Þ Cite readings and data analysis from the ALL data sets to support your rationale.

Cite sources and data analyses from all appropriate data sets to support statements in each paragraph.

Part 2: S.M.A.R.T. Goal & S.M.A.R.T. Objectives

(W2LO5 / CLO3)

Directions: Compose one S.M.A.R.T. goal and three S.M.A.R.T. objectives to address one targeted area of need you found from the discipline and attendance data. Expound on each of the five S.M.A.R.T. components by providing comprehensive details for each component within the tables. For each of the three objectives, list one activity for both the faculty and the principal that will help attain the objective.

Part 3: Vision and Mission

(W2LO6) (CLO4)

Directions: In your own words, explain the following (150-word minimum):

How can weeks 1 and 2 data sets be used for developing both the mission and vision statements?

· Make sure to distinctly address development of both the mission and the vision statements.

· Use the Basic Writing Elements model provided in the course Resources and include specific evidence/references to the readings and lectures in your reflection.
