student learning must be a major part of what’s measured.”

Appropriate needs assessment? Assesses overarching concepts of the discipline?

Specific? Measurable? Appropriate? Realistic/Rigorous? Time-bound? Includes all students? Comparable across

classrooms?

Baseline Data: Writing Baseline data on an 8th grade school

wide writing assessment utilizing the LDC argumentative writing rubric:

Score: 1 2 3 _4_

25% 45% 30% 0% Overall, 30% of students scored a “3”

or better. Student Growth Goal: For the 2011-2012 school year, 100%

of students will make measurable progress in argumentative writing. Each student will improve by one performance level in three or more areas of the LDC writing rubric. Furthermore, 80% of students will score a “3” or better overall.

assessment will work

best for goal setting for

student growth?

Determining NeedsStep one begins with looking at data to get to know your students

Previous years’ data Conversations with previous teachers Formative assessment processes Student work

This is not baseline data used for developing a student growth goal. That comes later.

Once you know your students …

Decide upon an assessment that can provide pre-, mid-course, and post-assessment data

Getting Baseline data

Assessments for student growth goal setting must . . .

Be rigorous – Have high expectations for

progress toward college and career readiness

Provide data toward mastery of overarching skills/concepts based on standard(s)

Assessments for student growth goal setting must . . .

Provide data between two points in time (pre-/post-assessment)Provide baseline dataProvide post data by end of goal-

setting period Be comparable across classrooms

within or across districts

Comparable across classrooms

The measures used to show student growth for a particular subject are comparable across similar classrooms within or across districts.

The measures used in state non-tested subjects and grades are as rigorous as those in tested subjects and grades.

• Not a unit assessment

• Addresses skills and concepts students need to develop across the year

Step 5: Determining Goal Attainment

Monitoring Student Progress: Formative Assessment Process

• Monitor both student progress toward goal attainment AND strategy effectiveness.

• Make adjustments to strategies as needed.

• Goals are not adjusted; strategies are adjusted.

Conversations to have…..Conversations to have…..1. Examine Assessments

Do we have quality assessments that provide data to measure student growthmeet the waiver criteria

-rigorous and comparable-two data points in time

2. Plan for inclusion of all subject/content areasCommon assessmentsUnique circumstances

3. Provide Training Assessment Literacy
