 As part of the CREATE initiative, Wisconsin school districts that have been identified as having significant disproportionality will be required to assemble a team to complete a needs assessment on district practices that affect students of different backgrounds.
New and returning district teams met in April at the Needs Assessment Pre-Conference session of the CREATE Conference in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The district needs assessment team identified practices and policies that may be contributing to disproportionality. Based on the needs identified in the assessment, the district team will make recommendations for future professional development offerings.
Annual Disproportionality Improvement Plan Deadline: June 17th, 2011
1. Review the 2010 District Needs Assessment Rubric Ratings (if continuing and completed in June 2010)
2. Determine 2011 District Needs Assessment Rubric Ratings and priority rank Focus Areas
3. Gain a better understanding about the entire CREATE project and how the April 28 conference opportunities and on-going professional development activities relate to the Focus Areas and the District’s Annual Disproportionality Improvement Plan (ADIP)
You may find this NCCRESt rubric helpful in identifying gaps and barriers to student learning in your district. Use it to begin a conversation among your educators, administrators, district leaders and elected officials.

The DPI will use the Needs Assessment information to design technical assistance and staff development activities throughout the year to assist the districts in their improvement goals and needs. The Annual District Improvement Plan will fulfill the district's reporting requirements to DPI regarding Indicator 9 and 10.
