Editor's Notes
- 1. In this session we will review
- R&E get many questions about data. One of the recurring questions about AA data is: How do each of the four membership levels do on our 15 standards? Or conversely, how do the standards map to the membership levels?These slides provide some insight into this question. Let me take a minute to explain this chart using one of our 15 standards: Provides a WBL Program. As you can see, there is a dashed line in the middle of the chart. This dashed line shows the point at which half the academies are scoring high and half are scoring low. If we move north of this line more academies are scoring high than low. If we move south of this line, more academies are scoring low than high. A top you see our four membership categories. We can also see four dots, connected by a dotted line.Note: The data in this chart from the most recent academy assessment and are for fully implemented academies only! For Under Review academies, the location of this dot is right here at the bottom… when the dot is on this line it means that all academies are scoring low. In other words, there are no fully implemented under review academies scoring high on Provides a WBL Program. For Member academies, we see an increase in the number of academies that scored high on this standard, although it is still a little bit short of the dashed line, which is where half the academies are scoring low and half are scoring high. Not surprisingly, perhaps, the trend continues upward and when it come to certified academies almost three quarters are scoring high and about one quarter of certified academies are scoring low on this standard. For model academies, the dot is situated at top of the chart, meaning that all model academies are scoring high. As most of you probably know, there are in fact 3 standards that make up the WBL component of the NAF model.CLICK
- Let’s add the other three WBL learning standards to this chart. CLICK (x2)Here’s Internship completion. You can see, the story with Internship Completion is similar to Provides A WBL Program for Under Review and Member academies, but for Certified and Model academies it seems more challenging for many to score well on this standard. Sure, it is above the dashed line, so more academies are scoring high than low but it is only just above the line, suggesting that there are a substantial % of Certified and Model academies that do not score high on this standard. You can also see that, as you see that Model academies are not scoring that much higher on this standard compared to Certified academies. Let’s have a look at the 3rd standard in the WBL component, Students Career GoalsCLICKAcademies’ performance on this standard is similar to that of Provides a WBL Program. Few Under Review academies score high and for Model academies the converse is true, all academies score high on Students’ Career Goals. We can look at each of the 15 standards this way and here is what it looks like when we put all 15 standards on the one chart.
- Clearly, the chart gets a little crowded and for simplicity’s sake I have not connected the dots nor have I labeled them. Nonetheless, each standard is represented by a different color dot and taken collectively it still tells story about the relationship between membership level and performance on the standards. For instance, academies appear to find it easy to score high on the College and Career Readiness standard, which appears the top-ranked dot for Under Review, Member, and Certified academies. In fact, for Under Review academies it is the only standard where more academies are scoring high than low, it’s the only standard that sits above the dashed line. The standard that potentially represents the greatest challenge for Member and Certified academies is Instructional Practices, represented by this red dot over here. It is clear that the journeyIt is also clear that it isn’t until we look at Certified and Model academies that we see that on ALL standards are there more academies scoring high than low.
- Connect advisory board with students well BEFORE the internship and do it OFTEN. Get parents involved alongside the advisory board when possiblePromote the ONE best thing that your academy does BETTER than anyone. Get publicity for it. Schedule advisory board meetings for the entire year. 8-10 at minimum. (4 is too few)Always be recruiting members. (Parents, guest speakers, etc.)
