Using Data to Proactively Identify and Improve Supports to At-Risk Students
Tuesday, February 4, 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM
Room A305
Participants will be provided (fictitious) data from a longitudinal early warning system and led through a guided small-group activity to analyze the data and develop action plans to provide students with tailored supports. The Hawaii Department of Education’s experience training schools to use these types of data to improve policy, programs, and instruction will be the basis for the workshop. The data will be disaggregated by numerous student subgroups, including race/ethnicity and federal Title program participation, to identify potential systemic inequities and inform the scale and type of responses proposed. The workshop will conclude with an interactive discussion and action planning for each participant to identify how to apply the workshop content and approach once back home.

Aligning Recruitment and Selection to Expand Equitable Access to Excellent Educators
Thursday, February 6, 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM
Room A315/316
This workshop will develop participants’ understanding of how to ensure aligned recruitment and selection practices are clearly linked to the criteria of educator competencies to their district goals and strategic objectives. A strategic approach to recruitment and selection is critical given the essential role of quality educators in improving student outcomes and the often inequitable distribution of those educators across schools. In this workshop, participants will gain an understanding of what aligned recruitment and selection strategy means; explore model initiatives in two districts, San Antonio Independent School District and the Los Angeles Unified School District and discuss how to implement components of these models; and assess the alignment of their own recruitment and selection strategies - all with the goal of expanding access to highly effective educators for their students, particularly for those who are from low-income families or represent racial/ethnic minorities.
