Student Growth Process Step 1: Determine needs Step 2: Create specific learning goals based on preassessment Step 3: Create and implement teaching and learning strategies Step 4: Monitor student progress through ongoing formative assessment Step 5: Determine whether students achieved the goals 4

Step 1: Determining Needs Step 1: Determine needs Step 2: Create specific learning goals based on preassessment Step 3: Create and implement teaching and learning strategies Step 4: Monitor student progress through ongoing formative assessment Step 5: Determine whether students achieved the goals 5

Step 1 Determine Needs A. Work with your grade level/content specific colleagues to identify the essential skills and content within your discipline. B. Considering your current students’ abilities, pinpoint areas of need from the list you created in part A. Work 6

Determine Needs Step 1 C. Select an enduring skill or concept from list B that can be measured over the course of the year. D. Select a literacy connection which can be used as part of the instructional process throughout the year to improve the skill or concept. Note: The literacy strategy may be used as the essential skill. Work 7

Determine Needs Step 1 E. Decide on a source of evidence that can provide pre- and postdata on student progress toward the selected skills or concepts, and literacy connections for your content area. (Assessment Options – Formative, Unit, Quarterly; Rubric; Project; Performance) *STAR reading may be third measure for all core literacy connections. 8

Step 2: Creating Goals Using the SMART Process Step 1: Determine needs Step 2: Create specific learning goals based on preassessment Step 3: Create and implement teaching and learning strategies Step 4: Monitor student progress through ongoing formative assessment Step 5: Determine whether students achieved the goals 10

SMART Goal Process for Student Growth S M A R T Specific- The goal addresses student needs within the content. Measurable- An appropriate instrument or measure is selected to assess the goal. Appropriate- The goal is clearly related to the role and responsibilities of the teacher. Realistic- The goal is attainable. Time-bound- The goal is contained to a single school year/course. The goal is measurable and uses an appropriate instrument. The goal is standards-based and directly related to the subject and students that the teacher teaches. The goal is doable, but rigorous and stretches the outer bounds of what is attainable. The goal is bound by a timeline that is definitive and allows for determining goal attainment. The goal is focused on a specific area of need. 11

Create Goals Step 2 Additional Required Components of Student Growth Goal: Growth Statement - What will the individual student accomplish? Proficiency Target - How many of the students will reach the level of growth? Note: Proficiency is a minimum of 80%. 12

Sample Growth Goal For the 2011 -2012 school year, 100% of students will make measurable progress in writing. Each student will improve by one performance level in three or more areas. Furthermore, 80% of students will score a three or better as measured by the LDC writing rubric. 13

Create Goals Practice • • • Pair up with another person at your table. Is it SMART? • Analyze your assigned goal against SMART criteria. • What feedback would you give to the teacher who had this goal Sample Student Growth Goals • Using the examples identify the SMART criteria in your assigned goal. • Identify the Growth statement and the Proficiency statement. 14

Create Your Goals Work Time Work with your grade level Content specific partner(s). Write your goal from the enduring skill you have selected. Be sure to include the literacy connection. Write a literacy goal unless it is connected to your content goal. 15

Step 3: Creating and Implementing Strategies Step 1: Determine needs Step 2: Create specific learning goals based on preassessment Step 3: Create and implement teaching and learning strategies Step 4: Monitor student progress through ongoing formative assessment Step 5: Determine whether students achieved the goals 16

Step 4: Monitoring Student Progress and Making Adjustments Step 1: Determine needs Step 2: Create specific learning goals based on preassessment Step 3: Create and implement teaching and learning strategies Step 4: Monitor student progress through ongoing formative assessment Step 5: Determine whether students achieved the goals 18

Step 5: Determining Goal Attainment Step 1: Determine needs Step 2: Create specific learning goals based on preassessment Step 3: Create and implement teaching and learning strategies Step 4: Monitor student progress through ongoing formative assessment Step 5: Determine whether students achieved the goals 19
