Student Growth in Kentucky
Snapshots What do you already know about student growth? WHY WRITE STUDENT GROWTH GOALS? What are your expectations for this workshop?
Benefits • Reinforce Best Teaching Practices • Are Uniquely Adaptable • Acknowledge the Value of Education Knowledge and Skill • Encourage Collaboration • Connect Teacher Practice to Student Learning AIR. “Student Learning Objectives.” 2012
Growth data can help all stakeholders answer important questions about student learning, such as: As a parent, how do I know my child is progressing? As a student, how do I know if I am learning and what do I need to work on next to reach my goals? As a district administrator, how can I evaluate our district’s programs for improvement planning? What’s working best? What should we stop doing? As a teacher, how will I know what kind of progress my students are making toward learning goals, and how can I adjust my instruction to meet their needs?
Defining Student Growth For the purposes of the professional growth and effectiveness system, KRS 156.557 was amended by House Bill 180 to define Student Growth as “the change in student achievement for an individual student between two (2) or more points in time including achievement on state assessments required per KRS 158.6453.”

How do we get Started? • Identify Enduring Skills, Understandings, and Processes for subjects & courses • Identify how you are going to measure these • Identify how you are going to know where the students are at the beginning of the course
What are SOME of the Standards, Structural Documents, and Resources that accompany the standards in each content area? KCAS-Literacy/Science/Social Studies/Technical Subjects KCAS for Reading & ELA C3 Framework-Social Studies NGSS/KCAS- Practices/Concepts-Science KCAS- Math Standards World Language Standards KCAS -Visual Arts, PE, etc. KOSSA and Industry Certification Standards
Defining ENDURING SKILLS, PROCESSES, & UNDERSTANDINGS • ENDURESbeyond a single test date, • is of value in other disciplines, • is relevant beyond the classroom • worthy of embedded, course-long focus • may be necessary for the next level of instruction

LEARNING TARGET The starting point for effective assessmentis clarifying the
Learning Targets • Knowledge • Reasoning • Performance/Skills • Products
Knowledge Targets What do I need to know? Usually knowledge targets begin with words like: Knows, lists, names, identifies, recalls
Knowledge Examples • Know examples of energy (heat, electrical, light, motion of objects, chemical, etc.) • Describe the exchange of energy between hot objects and cold objects • Identify the parts of a plant.
Reasoning Targets What can I do with what I know? Reasoning targets start out with mental processes like: Predicts, infers, classifies, hypothesizes, compares, concludes, summarizes, analyzes, evaluates, generalizes
Reasoning Examples • Use statistical methods to describe, analyze, evaluate, and make decisions. • Make a prediction based on evidence. • Examine data/results and propose a meaningful interpretation.
Performance Skills Performance skills require the students to demonstrate their mastery of a learning target and to be observed.
Performance Skills Targets The development of proficiency in doing something where the process is most important. • Use simple equipment and tools to gather data • Participates in civic discussions with the aim of solving current problems • Dribbles to keep the ball away from an opponent
Product Targets The ability to create tangible products that meet certain standards of quality and present concrete evidence of academic proficiency. Example:Create a bar graph.
Target Assessment Match RI.7.1: Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
Target-Method MatchCh. 4 CASL ‘Sound Design’ • Figure 4.2 Assessment Methods • Selected Response • Multiple choice • True/False • Matching • Fill-in-the-blank • Written Response • Short answer items • Extended written response • Performance Assessment • Performance task • Performance criteria • Personal Communication • Questions during instruction • Interviews and conferences • Participation • Oral Exams • Student journals and logs • As a table group, read each target and determine the strongest assessment method for that target. • Four Assessment Options • Selected response: T/F, Multiple Choice, Matching, Fill-in-the-Blank • Written response: short or extended • Performance assessment: includes product targets • Personal Communication
Target Assessment Match RI.7.1: Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Now think about the types of assessment that would work best with each target.
Assessment Methods • Identify the targets for the standard. • As a table discuss the methods that will best match the targets you created. • Which method would best match: Short response, Extended response, Performance Assessment, Personal Communication
Assessment Examples • EngageNY.org: Annotated 2013 Test Questions • Evaluate items for ELA Assessment • PARCC Released Assessment items: Begins at 3rd grade

Determining NeedsStep one begins with looking at data to get to know your students
Getting Baseline data Decide on sources of evidence that can provide pre- and post-dataon student progress toward the identified skills & concepts for your content area.
Decide on sources of evidence Do they provide the data needed to accurately measure where students are in mastering grade-level standards for the identified area(s) of need?
Sources of Evidence: Variety Student Performances Products Comparable across Classrooms Aligned to Standards Common Assessments DistrictAssessments Projects Provide pre- and post-data Enduring Skills, Concepts & Processes LDC/MDC Classroom Evidence Student Portfolios Interim Assessments
Rigor Congruency to standards Do the measures provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate mastery of the identified skills, concepts or processes at the level of rigor intended in the standard?
Comparable across classrooms Do the measures used to show student growth expect students to demonstrate mastery of the standards at the intended level of rigor? Do my selected measures reach the level of rigor expected across the district?
