  7. You measure success that matters. Character matters and that’s why we are measuring it as a part of your Y2 Pathway. http://www.socialable.co.uk/12-killer-analytic-tools-to-measure-your-success/
  8. Say But how do you measure character?  
  9. A Pathway of course! You’ll see that we’ve created a Pathway for Measuring Character Growth that is very similar to the Pathway for Measuring Academic Achievement. In the next sections we’ll explore a draft Character Pathway and learn more about our policies for measuring character growth. The outcomes of your Y2 Character Pathway will be much like your Year 1 Academic Pathway. You’ll be expected to know student growth, but you won’t be held responsible for meeting or exceeding an Ambitious Goal.
  10. Say Going forward, we will concretely define “the work of student growth and achievement” as this 5-step Pathway. Our SGA modules will center around use of this Pathway, and we’ll use it as a guide throughout the SGA modules this year and next year. In the Pathway we’ll identify what your students should learn, how you’ll assess them, how high they should score to be successful, what you’ll do keep them progressing, and how you’ll reflect on how well they did. Those are the 5 steps, summarized.

  16. Question #1: So how do you set a character goal? The trouble with setting character goals is that we don’t yet know what’s possible, and just how high our students can grow. This is also a brand new field and we don’t have years’ worth of data (like we do with academic data) to set meaningful thresholds. Measuring character data can also be tricky because our perceptions may be different than others. We may see ourselves as extremely brave, but appear far more timid to others. http://www.littletrekkers.co.uk/little-trekkers-ambassadors/ambassador-blog/item/how-high-can-you-reach.html http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/els2002/overview2.asp http://egelywheel.net/en/making-your-subjective-mind-work-for-you

  18. Say But how do you measure character?  
  19. http://preschooler.thebump.com/activities-children-curiosity-6272.html
  20. Your roster for your Character Goal will be one class only. If you are a self-contained elementary teacher this will be the same roster as your Academic Goals. If you are a secondary teacher, you will select one class that you teach to measure your Character Goal—likely your homeroom class or the class that you teach most frequently. http://blogs.957rnb.com/2010/12/
  21. For each of the great eight character strengths we have a 2-4 indicators you can use to measure each strength. Here are two examples of growth card indictors of zest and curiosity. When you administer this assessment you will collect student-level data AND teacher-level data using the following scale. If you are measuring a strength other than the great eight you will create your own 2-4 character indicators.
  22. Show Ask grad students to turn and talk and come up with a kindergarten appropriate version of this statement. Call on 2-3 grad students to share their ideas. Reveal sample “after” response.

  24. Show Ask grad students to turn and talk and come up with a kindergarten appropriate version of this statement. Call on 2-3 grad students to share their ideas. Reveal sample “after” response.
  25. For question #3 you’ll see that we have created a Relay Character Growth Tracker to make your character tracking easy peasy. Once you’ve selected the character strength you want to measure, you will simply identify the corresponding tab to use within the tracker. If you are using one of the great eight traits, a tab has been made for you. If you are measuring a different trait than one of the great eight you can change the information in one of the tabs to align to the character strength you selected.
  26. Say Another thing you may want to consider is the most grade appropriate way to administer your assessment. If you are a secondary teacher you could administer a multiple choice assessment, if you work with younger students you may choose to administer your character assessment orally. The choice is up to you! http://www.prwatch.org/news/ /05/11523/scantron-15th-corporation-dump-alec http://www.chi-colorado.org/research-evaluation/k8education/
  27. For example…
  28. For example…
  29. This year you are required to collect 4 rounds of character data with each round including students’ self-evaluations and your teacher evaluations. For each round you will need to collect data for 100% of your students.
  30. Beyond that, you may want to collect optional additional character data. One way you can collect additional data is to collect parent evaluations each round. This data will give you additional insight to your students’ character development.
  31. Transition To Step 3
  32. Transition To Step 3
  33. Though you won’t need to meet any particular quantitative measure, we have set a Relay prescribed character goal that everyone should drive towards. That goal is that on average, students will achieve a 4.0 average on the character growth card indicator. But why did we set this goal?

  37. Because that would mean that on average, you and your students agree that is like your class to be optimistic…or loving…or grateful…and those would all be great things! Even if we can’t say that we are confident this is an ambitious feasible target for all students, we do know that it’s a positive goal to drive towards and is in the interest of students’ success!

  41. Say But how do you measure character?  
  42. Because of these challenges, our approach is not to set quantitative Achievement Floors and Ambitious Goals for character, but rather, to collect really great data. As we just discussed in Step 2, your character graduation points are associated with the quantity and quality of the character data you collect, not the actual amount of growth your students make. It’s about measuring what matters, collecting great data, and using that data to drive your instruction. http://unixheads.org/backend/ /02/i-admit-im-a-data-geek/
