      <image:title>Blog Source - More Instructional Time Matters - Collectively, the student, staff, and school inputs explain nearly three-fourths of the variation (r2 = 0.74) in middle school STAR student group scores using the ensemble model. The table shows which inputs had the most weight in predicting STAR scores. Notice that inputs related to attendance and instructional hours help explain differences in STAR scores more than the demographic makeup of the students who attend the school, including the percent at-risk served. (The STAR Score Weight’s sign indicates relationship directionality with a positive weight meaning an input increase is associated with an increase in STAR score.)</image:title>
      <image:caption>The weight values by themselves are difficult to interpret, so we used a model simulator produced by the machine-learning algorithm to better understand how input changes can impact predicted STAR scores. For reference, the average middle school student group score is 52.3 out of 100. We explain the impact by talking about a one standard deviation increase for inputs and translating them to practical terms.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Teach Bold - Data and improvement science works for teachers and students. Even in a pandemic.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Teachers who participated in EK12’s 2020-21 pilot of the Teach Bold initiative were traditional classroom and special educators focused on improving outcomes for students with disabilities during the mostly virtual Pandemic Year. Students in participating teachers’ classrooms experienced far less unfinished learning than students in comparable classrooms across the District.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Teach Bold - Step 1: Bold ideas for root causes.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Each classroom is different and requires creative solutions to rapidly impact student academic and social-emotional wellbeing. A few weeks into the school year, after classroom routines have been established and beginning of the year data collected, Teach Bold teachers meet with their Improvement Coach. Together, the EK12 coach and teacher generate a creative, research-cognizant strategy that addresses a root cause preventing their students, particularly students with disabilities, from achieving rapid academic and social-emotional growth.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Teach Bold - Step 2: Effective data reviewed biweekly.</image:title>
      <image:caption>EK12 provides teachers with access to just-in-time data tools that make it easy to collect good data about their strategy’s effectiveness. After a two-week action research cycle, teachers and their EK12 coach review progress, analyzing data for equitable and statistical improvement towards short-term and long-term goals. Our Teach Bold check-in protocol includes an explicit focus on differentiating improvement for students with disabilities. Our continuous improvement framework concentrates on the mechanisms and builds teachers’ sense of relevance of their efforts as well as improves agency and self-efficacy. Teachers reflect on why they got certain results and what they learned to refine their change ideas.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Teach Bold - Step 3: Spread bright spots quarterly.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Teach Bold gathers participating teachers cross-sector quarterly, allowing educators to share which strategies worked and which did not to collectively problem-solve the challenges everyone faces in their individual classrooms. The quarterly network meetings highlight bright spots and catalyze collective action towards a common aim.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Drawing upon rich, longitudinal data, we create dashboards that enable school leaders to quickly identify areas of concern and bright spots aligned to their missions. Data update daily and are analyzed on a weekly-to-quarterly basis to drive continuous improvement conversations. This work includes: A standardized, operational data warehouse containing all attendance, discipline, assessment, intervention, and academic data in one place to support rigorous impact analysis Equity-centered views of key data points by student group Trackers to standardize the collection of support services implemented by practitioners when required</image:caption>
