  1. Growth

  2. Growth Objectives • Understand the Growth Model • Understand how the model can be used to improve student achievement and equity. Free Template from www.brainybetty.com

  3. Growth Definition Oregon’s Growth Model calculates the progress a student has made toward meeting benchmark. Students who are meeting their growth targets will be counted as Meets for accountability purposes on the report card. Free Template from www.brainybetty.com

  4. Growth Purpose • Be included as part of the accountability process to determine which schools are being effective • Provide additional information to support teaching and learning by including growth targets in individual student reports Free Template from www.brainybetty.com

  5. Growth Design • Addresses needs identified by stakeholders • Focused on existing achievement standards • Focused on High School diploma as a goal • Easily replicated in a spreadsheet • Targets available before students begin their next test and results available after they end their test • Designed to be consistent with requirements of the U.S. Department of Education Free Template from www.brainybetty.com

  6. Growth How to Use • The growth target is not the ultimate goal for the student. The goal for the students is to meet the grade level achievement standard. • The growth model sets intermediate goals for students, allowing them to move up to standard over a period of several years. • Look at each student’s testing history (as displayed on the Growth Individual Student Report) to gain a more comprehensive view of each student’s achievement.

  7. Growth The Formula • Growth targets are chosen with a “three years to proficiency” model. Each year students are asked to close their personal achievement gap. • The “Gap” (Indicated by the number of RIT point’s they are below benchmark) must decrease according to the percentages in the table at right. • Students meeting these expectations are determined to have “met growth.” • For report card rating purposes, students who “met growth” will count equally with students who met benchmark. More information can be found on the ODE Growth model webpage:http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=2495. This page contains: A growth model target calculator; Tables of growth targets; Details on the growth target calculation; Data from other growth models Free Template from www.brainybetty.com

  8. Growth The Formula (cont) Example for a student Cut scores 6th grade=222 4th grade=211 If a student scores a 190 in 3rd grade, meeting standard in 4th grade would Require 21 points. The growth model describes a student as on track if he/she makes 32 x 38.89%=12.44 points of growth. We round up to 13 which makes a Target of 190+13=203 3rd grade=204 3rd to 4th=21 pts 3rd to 6th=32 pts Free Template from www.brainybetty.com Student score = 190

  9. Growth Acorns for Storage • How can the growth model fit into your district and school improvement plans? • How can we use the growth model to improve instruction and student learning? • How can we ensure that the growth model does not reduce rigorous expectations we have for our students?
