ALO Data Views and the Outcomes Driven Model
The Acadience authors developed the data-based decision-making framework referred to as the Outcomes-Driven Model (ODM) to support educators to make evidence-based decisions to improve student outcomes by matching instructional supports with the needs of individual students. Additional information on the Outcomes-Driven Model can be found in the Help Center article, Acadience Reading K-6 and the Outcomes-Driven Model.
The table below outlines steps in the Outcomes-Driven Model and provides questions to ask at the system and student level to help guide using data for instructional decision making. The table also includes a list of ALO data views and reports that may be helpful for navigating each step.
| Steps of the ODM | Questions | ALO Data Views |
|
Step 1 Identify Need for Support |
System Level: Are there students who may need support? How many students may need support? |
|
|
Student Level: Which students may need support? |
|
|
|
Step 2 Validate Need for Support |
System Level: Are we confident in the accuracy of our data overall? |
|
|
Student Level: Are we confident that the identified students need support? |
|
|
|
Step 3 Plan and Implement Support |
System Level: What is our system-wide plan for support? What changes are needed in the plan to address the identified system needs? What are our system-wide goals? |
|
|
Student Level: What is the plan of support for each student, including goals and progress monitoring plan? |
|
|
|
Step 4 Evaluate and Modify Support |
System Level: Are the majority of students making adequate progress? Are we making progress toward system goals? |
|
|
Student Level: Is the support effective for individual students? |
|
|
|
Step 5 Review Outcomes |
System Level: What proportion of students have met benchmark goals? Have we met our system-wide goal? |
|
|
Student Level: Have individual students met their goals? |
