Services Provided by Region 3 ESA  
     
 

Data Retreats

A data retreat is a two-day workshop attended by a district team. This workshop is designed using Judy Sargeant's process model. A data retreat is the foundation necessary for effective planning.

The outcome will result from looking at data from four perspectives: student data, programs and structures data, professional practices data, and family/community data. Schools will analyze data patterns to formulate improvement plans that result in improved student achievement. Analysis will yield the following products: framework for district assessment plan, case scenarios for grade advancement or high school graduation policies, a data analysis process guide, and a school improvement plan. Through this process, schools will begin to transform their beliefs and practice around the use of data to inform instruction. School districts will discover they are more efficient and more effective in meeting student needs and preparing them for the future.

This service is free for all Region 3 ESA districts. For more information contact sylvia.street@k12.sd.us or call 605 337-2636 and ask for an ESA staff member.

Curriculum Mapping

Curriculum Mapping is a process for collecting data representative of the operational (real) curriculum in a school and/or district. Curriculum maps are like a school’s manuscript. We can help assist your school and/or district in putting together maps that help make it obvious which state standards are addressed, and which are being addressed multiple times. Through this process schools can become aware of the flow of their curriculum horizontally and vertically. The underlying premise is keeping the needs of students in the forefront of our planning and instruction. Please allow three days to begin this process.

This service is free for all Region 3 ESA districts. For more information contact sylvia.street@k12.sd.us or call 605 337-2636 and ask for an ESA staff member. Check our curriculum mapping FAQ
