Data Tools Decision Framework As part of the state system of support, the four-stage Ohio Improvement Process (OIP) helps districts build capacity for sustained improvement, beginning with collecting and analyzing data in a comprehensive needs assessment known as the Decision Framework. The ODE provides the Decision Framework tool online that is linked to district assessment data from the state data warehouse. Since the DF tool contains pre-populated data and “essential questions,” districts can use the data to make more focused decisions and identify the root causes of defined problems. Almost all student performance data are three-year trend data for all students tested – by grade-level, building, and major disaggregated student groups. In addition to performance data, discipline, expulsion/suspension, dropout, graduation rate, and attendance data are pre-populated. Using the DF analysis allows districts to focus on facts, not opinions or preferences about what is not working and the issues that need to be addressed, and to reach agreement about solutions. There are data fields to choose the district implementation level of an aligned, standards-based curriculum, from which the system presents an implementation percentage. The essential questions allow the district to make informed and intentional decisions using the data to discuss and determine the local assessments, instructional practice, PD, etc. Data from a completed Decision Framework transfers automatically to Ohio’s Comprehensive Continuous Improvement Plan (CCIP) system. The Decision Framework also becomes the basis for focused goals, strategies, and action steps to improve educational outcomes for all students. Links Ohio Decision Framework
