Instructional Decision Making (IDM) Evaluation Update

At the end of the 2008-09 school year, Heartland collected implementation data on schools that participated in IDM training or were implementing IDM practices. During the week of August 3rd, over 70 schools that completed the implementation evaluation in May will be sent their building’s results on a CD-ROM. Also included on the CD-ROM is information on the scoring criteria and a README file that explains how to (a) navigate the implementation data file on the CD-ROM and (b) interpret the building and agency-wide implementation data. Each school’s data were aggregated and analyzed for all 70+ buildings to gain insight into how our schools are implementing IDM practices across the Agency. The identity of individual school performance was kept confidential in the reporting of the agency-wide results.

Alecia Rahn-Blakeslee, Brad Niebling and Shannon Harken want to thank all of the external coaches who collected data for their school(s) at the beginning of May. They know it was an extremely busy time of year, and they express their sincere appreciation to everyone for their time and commitment. They hope you found the experience beneficial as well.


If you have any questions about the IDM implementation results, please contact Alecia Rahn-Blakeslee at arahn@aea11.k12.ia.us or Brad Niebling at bniebling@aea11.k12.ia.us.
