Why is DataWORKS Classroom Productivity Index (DPI) Classroom Monitoring valuable?
 
Ongoing measurements of instructional processes are important. If processes are not improving, corrective action needs to be taken since students are not being taught in the most efficient and effective manner.
The DPI monitoring measures a snapshot of Time on Task, and alignment of assignments to standards.
High time on task is important to maximize student learning.
Students taught below grade level are essentially prevented from doing well on grade-level state tests.
Classroom lessons must be on grade level to advance student knowledge and properly prepare students for annual grade level state tests

What is DataWORKS Classroom Productivity Index (DPI) Classroom Monitoring and how does it work?
 
The DataWORKS Classroom Productivity Index (DPI) Classroom Monitoring Classroom uses walkthroughs to measure and monitor time on task and curriculum alignment.
A DataWORKS researcher along with the school’s leadership team visit classrooms to measure Time on Task. In addition, they collect a copy of the assignment being taught from each teacher. Following the observations, they determine Time on Task and calibrate the assignments for alignment to standards, and breadth of coverage. A presentation of the results is made to the entire staff after school.
