Analysis Document

Group Project - Analysis Phase

Our teachers are supposed to be logging interventions in a program so that we can collect the data and stop bad behavior on campus before it starts.  But only a few teachers use the program and it makes it so that the few that do use it are really bad teachers and can't deal with their students. So I need to create training that will not only teach the teachers how to use the system but also explain what we do with the data and why it is so important to have it.

• The age group of the people to be trained

  • They are teachers so from 20 somethings to I think one is over 75.

• Prior knowledge and

  • They have all heard of SWIS but they continue to not use it

• Learning experiences

  • We’ve had training or two before but people didn’t have the ability to try inputting a sample piece.

• Learning Preferences

  • Teachers prefer to have a hands-on experience especially when technology is involved

• Technology Access and Proficiency

  • Access to PowerSchool Login, a computer, internet access, and basic proficiency in each of those are needed.

• Anything that could aid the learning process

  • Patience

• Things that could hinder the learning process

  • The internet going down for mysterious reasons

• Information Related to how the content is traditionally(currently) taught or delivered

  • Currently, we have a short training session that doesn’t have access to the technology that they will be used where we show them how to log things via a computer screen doubled onto a larger screen.

• Skills that are needed before the target content can be understood or used

  • Basic PowerSchool login information, basic computer usage knowledge

• Anything else related to content

  • 
    

• Traditional Methods for Assessment (surveys and questionnaires)

  • Perhaps a survey to see if they get how to put it in, show that they can put in an entry in some kind of performance assessment, survey when they should input entries.

• Ideas From Research On Assessment

  • Google Forms works well for surveys

• User Satisfaction Evaluations (end of training evaluation)

  • Again Google Forms collects data well

You may also want to provide them with feedback as to whether their analysis report addresses the following criteria.

Think Who, What and How.

• What should the [employees/students/teachers] be doing now that they are not doing?

  • Teachers should be entering behavioral interventions into SWIS so that we can better tune interventions toward our at-risk students.

  • Admin should be checking on whether or not the teachers are inputting any interventions into SWIS and how often

• What are the [employees/students/teachers]doing now that they should not be doing?

  • Teachers are not always inputting behavioral interventions into SWIS.

  • Admin doesn’t seem to notice if people are inputting interventions.

• When the [employees/students/teachers] are working most effectively, what does it look like?

  • When teachers are inputting interventions they are taking a couple of seconds it takes to tell us that they are trying something with the students to change behavior in class.

  • Admin would periodically check to see if interventions are being logged and if no interventions are being logged admin would check for understanding/reminding the staff to input them.

• What is preventing [employees/students/teachers] from reaching the goal you have envisioned?

  • Teachers don’t understand why they have to input the interventions.

  • Teachers don’t know how to use the SWIS system.

  • Teachers aren’t held accountable for not inputting interventions

  • Admin doesn’t care that no one in inputting interventions.

  • Admin doesn’t know why it is important to input the interventions.

• Do the [employees/students/teachers]  know the standards that are expected of them?

  • Teachers have been told that they are supposed to input behavioral interventions into SWIS.

  • Admin has been told that it is important data that can help to drive our behavioral interventions.

• Are the standards reasonable and achievable?

  • Teachers are all able to input interventions into SWIS.

  • Admin can check up on whether we are doing our jobs.

• Do the [employees/students/teachers] have the proper job aids and other performance tools to work to standard?

  • All staff has the tools they need, they lack the understanding as to why they should do it.

• What would you like to see changed that would help you to work more effectively?

  • For the teachers, I would like to see that they value the data that they need to help us collect so we can more effectively manage the behavior of the students.

  • For the admin, I’d like to see them checking in on us and making sure that we are doing our jobs.

• What would you like to see invented that would help you work more effectively?

  • We have all the technology necessary to complete this training.

• What are your competitors [other schools, organizations or classes] doing better than you are?

  • Other schools have managed to convince their staff that this is necessary for them to input their interventions into SWIS throughout the district.

• What do your [employees/students/teachers] want that you are not providing?

  • Teachers' reasons for them to put in the interventions into SWIS.

  • Admin needs for the teachers to put in the data so we can make informed decisions.

The majority of the data will be collected through SWIS.  It will show us who is entering the interventions.
