Central Office Staff
Poverty Simulation Follow-Up Meeting
October 5, 2017

Several cental office staff participated in the MNPS Poverty Simulation on the morning of October 5, 2017.  Afterwards, staff participated in a follow-up meeting where the collaborative inquiry process was used to analyze multiple sources of data and discuss actions to stop, continue, and start for  supporting student success.

Activating and Engaging

Discussion Points
  • feels overwhelming because so much going on at one time
  • frustrated trying to figure out things
  • like the characters, you feel like everyone is watching you

Discussed for us it was a simulation, for some it’s a reality.
  • 42.75% of MNPS students and families are economically disadvantaged.
  • That’s 37,365 students.

Exploring and Discovering
Data Warehouse Reports

 Several MNPS Data Warehouse reports were reviewed and observations made.
  • Assessment Data—MAP & ACT
  • Attendance Dashboard—current and past 3 years
  • Behavior Dashboard—current and past 3 years
  • Poverty Simulation Experience

Organizing and Integrating
Traffic Light Protocol


Given what we have learned today, what are some practices you might stop doing, continue doing, and start doing?

STOP

  • filtering reactions/attitudes through just my experiences
  • relying solely on one source of data
  • stop using one measure for poverty
  • using acronyms during IEP meetings
  • teaching to the test
  • making inferences before seeing what the data says-(5)
  • assuming everything is okay if families will not say anything when something’s wrong
  • changing assessments
  • too many initiatives
  • giving students a 50 without doing anything but just showing up-(2)
  • test retakes
  • focusing only on literacy
  • suspending African American and Hispanic students
  • assuming there are no gray areas in data collection
  • including data from groups that are not prepared
  • meeting to meet….teacher centered meetings
  • making assumptions based on race or socioeconomic levels
  • assuming all students are going to college and taking away skilled worker options, such as vocational training
  • focusing on punishment
  • relying solely on data—trust teacher truths/stories
  • being so judgmental

CONTINUE

  • restorative practices—(3)
  • recognizing that diversity is a strength
  • looking more closely at data by subgroup and super subgroups
  • assume all parents want what’s best for their child
  • communicate with parents
  • helping the parents/family above and beyond
  • collecting data—(3)
  • be in relationship—earning trust of kids
  • assisting and advocating for those who cannot for themselves
  • data warehouse
  • assessments
  • ACT prep in high schools
  • listening
  • providing feedback about findings
  • evaluating student records
  • building relationships with students and families
  • looking at data objectively
  • exploring the economic climate in Nashville—we are changing rapidly as a city—more homes being built for upper income 2 working parent families, but we are pushing out families who have roots there
  • PD for teachers on implicit bias and cultural humility
  • RTI
  • learning about our students and how to better serve them

START

  • partnerships between Metro government and MNPS
  • consistently use data for making informed decisions
  • more culturally relevant training, particularly Latino
  • self care/teacher care---work-life balance
  • figure out how to keep all HS students in school—(2)
  • be more empathetic to families in poverty—(2)
  • focused RTI
  • vocational education-(2)
  • restorative practices system wide-(2)
  • teaching children about impact/consequences of choices
  • looking below surface presentation, such as life struggles
  • conducting data meetings with students and parents within school building and the neighborhood (student led)
  • tracking academic data
  • analyzing and synthesizing non-academic data and its impact on academic behavior
  • increase interventions that target populations
  • analyzing data more regularly-(3)
  • have action plan for findings
  • positive attendance strategies/promotion/initiatives--(3)
  • cultural humility trainings with teachers
  • share this data with teachers and families—give context and talk about solutions with school community
  • being open
  • accept that someone can have different experiences
  • making careful observations
  • more homework in math/science that students are given grades for—If they aren’t given credit or held accountable, they will more than likely not do the work—(2)
  • detention and make the kids have tasks (cleaning around the school) for punishment
  • hold parents accountable at school level
  • remember that “we are Metro” to everyone who comes to us for school information
  • proactive and productive
  • do more follow up on absences and behavior
  • teach basic skills to help students succeed
  • identifying areas of need for additional resources/support
  • research further trends in the data

Exit Slip Reflection--What actions might you take as a result of our time together?

  • research restorative practices-(2)
  • analyze pertinent data
  • more empathy-(3)
  • continue help others who can’t help themselves
  • share with co-workers what we experienced today
  • be more thoughtful to families
  • be more thoughtful to students and how to help them
  • continue using all types of data to make decisions-(2)
  • advocate for cultural humility trainings, particularly school with high population of AA and Hispanic students
  • give to food bank
  • be more attentive to the students I come in contact with
  • data is relevant along with anecdotal information
  • be careful about making assumptions, i.e. race, socio-economics
  • learn to step outside of myself
  • collaborate more---colleagues are a great resource
  • meeting with families in a site that is mutually agreeable (not in home, but a public building closer than school)
  • increase awareness of best practice to sue with such a diverse population of students
  • don’t assume—seek first to understand then be understood
  • talk with teachers with empathy for our students/families
  • conversations around school staff
  • data analysis with schools with non-academic indicators impacting academic performance
  • listen better to other voices and trust their stories

Meeting Feedback--How was the Meeting?

Plus

Suggestions for Improvement

  • keep going
  • the simulation itself was great-(2)
  • pace was good
  • great way to put the data in perspective after the poverty simulation
  • enjoyed the exercises of the day
  • interactive
  • participation
  • entertaining
  • great communication
  • excellent, realistic
  • great feedback
  • very well organized
  • so glad we could debrief like this after the simulation and back it up with data-(3)
  • great to collaborate with entire group
  • role playing
  • sharing
  • traffic light activity
  • information was very practical and will benefit me at work and also out in life
  • openness
  • activity to curb inferences
  • importance of reframing data with multiple sources-(2)
  • good mix of MNPS folks—nice to rub elbows with a variety
  • excellent facilitation
  • listen and learn to understand what people are going through
  • powerful
  • help those of us that are in special ed
  • see actions being put in place
  • more specific, open-ended questions about the data
  • need more time-(4)—could be full day inservice
  • handouts for everyone to take home
  • less time on calibrating and more tie reflecting on data and stop light
  • seemed like your rephrasing some people didn’t necessarily agreed, but complied
  • too much data to process
  • balance simulation time with afternoon to better engage participants
  • fuller data for gathering personal stories
  • less summarizing when writing down participant responses
  • traffic light questions asked three times today---end of simulation, traffic light, reflection
