Instructional Decision Making Evaluation Update

At the end of the 2007-08 school year, Heartland collected implementation data from 46 school buildings that participate in Instructional Decision Making (IDM). The purpose of collecting implementation data is to examine whether the participating schools have in place the key features of IDM. Within the next two weeks, each of the 46 buildings will be sent their own building’s results on a CD. The data were also aggregated and analyzed for all 46 buildings to gain insight into how our schools were implementing IDM across the agency.

The CD also will contain a brief summary of the agency-wide results. The identity of individual school performance was kept confidential in the reporting of the agency-wide results. The 2007-08 agency-wide implementation results will be posted by the end of October at http://www.aea11.k12.ia.us/idm.
Please note that the data disseminated is the implementation data only. In the coming months, we will notify you once the 2007-08 student achievement data are analyzed. If you have any questions about the IDM evaluation results, please contact Alecia Rahn-Blakeslee at arahn@aea11.k12.ia.us or Brad Niebling at bniebling@aea11.k12.ia.us.
