Success+Analysis+Protocol+from+Inservice

William Allen High School Success Analysis Protocol September 2, 2009

Factors that contributed to successful practice:
 * Generalize techniques for math/reading – help with vocabulary
 * Collaboration among faculty members
 * Organized information students reflect on past assignments/calendar
 * Use packets to look at entire unit at once
 * Read alouds
 * Drawings – visual representation, not words,
 * Total and early student engagement essential to success
 * Second chances/revisions/resubmissions – do right first time (KLT)
 * Routines, structure to classroom
 * Give choices, say in work
 * Higher expectations – students will rise to them
 * Give students independence – more student centered
 * Have students take ownership of work
 * Find things that students are interested in
 * Rewards – extrinsic/intrinsic
 * Hands on instruction
 * Formative assessment/projects
 * Student accountability
 * Guided inquiry / problem based

How we might apply what we learned to other parts of our work:
 * Use of student pages for success manual keeps engaged and accountable
 * Forum that gives each person a chance to speak – dept unity
 * Share what works and what doesn’t
 * Need structure and engagement for meetings – will be used in the future

How might students use this process to reflect on their work:
 * Give each person a chance to speak
 * Sticky notes – takes time, each person speak, debrief – takes away from content
 * Maturity level of students a question
 * Apply protocol to white-boarding in class – all boards presented, students analyze strengths, weaknesses of other people’s work compared to own
 * Use protocol to get students to analyze their own successes in class. They don’t actually think about what they are doing to be successful. They can then apply to other parts of their lives.
