Student Growth Sources of Evidence to Establish Baseline Student Growth Series
Target • Explain how multiple sources of evidence can contribute to a baseline score for goal-setting for student growth.
Starting points for goal-setting • As the school year begins, teachers use a variety of methods to determine where students are in reaching the level of proficiency intended in their standards. • To goal-set, teachers identify enduring skills, concepts or processes as an area of focus based on the needs of their current students.
Establishing a Baseline • Easiest with a rubric or a matrix. • Otherwise, consider: • Would you average assessment items? • Would you add weight to any items? • How would you determine a single score?
A first goal: Looking back For the 2012-2013 school year, 95% of my 4th grade students will show growth in Reading as evidenced by Winter and Spring MAP RIT scores and unit assessments throughout the Spring semester.
More currently . . . By the end of the 2013-14 school year, all of my 4th grade students (100%) will show growth in summarizing key ideas and details in what they read. Each student will improve by 2 or more levels on the rubric developed by my PLC team for summarization. In addition, 90% of students will score Proficient or above on the rubric by the end of the year.
Data contributing to baseline • MAP data (DesCartes Continuum regarding summarization skills) • Written summaries • Journal entries • M/C items where students identify main ideas and supporting details
Establishing a Baseline: Examples Discuss with your table group: • How is data collected through everyday instructional practice? • How do multiple sources of data contribute to both an individual and a collective score to establish baseline? • How can you confirm rubric congruency with standards?
Target • Explain how multiple sources of evidence can contribute to a baseline score for goal-setting for student growth.
