  1. Setting student and class goals using baseline data… North Grand High School 10-23-09

  2. Objectives • So, what am I really looking at? (for now) • Teachers will walk through a mini-lesson around “Rit Goal Setting” • Teachers will reflect on how data has informed their practice so far • Teachers will share examples of the work done in their classes around NWEA

  3. What some of you said was going to happen…

  4. Here’s a mock lesson on goal setting using NWEA baseline data The set up: • Mr. Strom’s 4th Period Language and Comp class The lesson: • In small groups students will be able to identify and define the Goal/Standards being assessed on the NWEA interim Assessment • In small groups students will be able to assist in creating a class Goal which they will target between now and December.

  5. What was that test we took back in September? • Think-pair-share activity (5 min) • Why do you think we took that online test? (did you take it, what did you think about it, how do you think you did, etc…) Goal for the teacher here is to get the students think about how the test connects to “This” class?

  6. What was on that test? Think-pair-share (5 min) What types of questions do you remember? What was being assessed on that test that connects to this class? Teacher Goal: Get your students to think about some “standards” being assessed (vocabulary, etc…). Here is where I’ve told students that in “This” English class we need do better in Four main areas!

  7. What are the Four Performance Areas in which we need grow? (Reading) • Word Analysis/Vocabulary • Readings Strategies/Comprehension • Literature • Literary Works What does this really mean Lopez?

  8. Small Group Activity Directions Directions: In small groups (3-4) people you will be given one of the four standards to define. Use your brain power! (Some times I’ve let students use dictionaries here) 10 Minutes • Identify the question your group is answering • Identify group roles • Who is the Note taker? • Who is the time-keeper? (10 Minutes) • Who is the Facilitator? • Who is the presenter? • In your group come up with a definition/answer • Post/Write your answer on the Large-post it • Be ready to present and teach to the class your definition/answer! During the presentation other groups can challenge the work being presented!

  9. In your group answer the following question Group #1’s What do you think Mr. Lopez means when he says we have to get better at “Word Analysis/Vocabulary” Group #2’s What do you think Mr. Lopez means when he says we have to get better at “Reading Strategies/Comprehension Group #3’s What do you think Mr.Lopez means when he says we have to get better at “Literature.” Group #4’s What do you think Mr. Lopez means when he says we have to get better at “Literary Works”

  10. Small Group Activity Two (After defining the standards…what did you miss?) Directions: Now that your group has, on its own, defined the standard. Look and read the handout provided by Mr. Lopez. This hand out gives you the Assessment Definition of your term. (10 Minutes!) • Everyone in the group should read the handout. • The group should analyze the handout and compare it to what they wrote. • What does your group think they missed? • The group records what they think they missed? • The group then writes in the large-post it what they think they missed (according to the handout) • Students present their findings

  11. Now that we are a little clearer on our standards/goals (according to NWEA)… Making Predictions…In your groups • Where do you think we are on a scale of 100-300? (In your goal area only) • Students will make a prediction with their group then write it on the board • If you take all four goals and you average them out…what do you think our class average would be on a scale of 100-300? • Students will make a prediction then write it on the Rit AVG. Post it. • Then, let’s look at what are scores currently are in this class…

  12. Word Analysis/Vocabulary Readings Strategies/Comprehension Literature Literary Works Overall Class RIT AVG. 217.1 229.8 224.3 224.5 224.9 Our current scores are…

  13. Our Learning Destination Now that we know where we are…where do we want to be? What is our lowest area? Should that be our target area? As a class let’s agree to target at least one area of improvement between now and December. As a class let’s also agree to target an average RIT goal improvement.

  14. Setting the class goal • By December our class Average Rit will be ? • By December our class word analysis score will be? The idea here is that the teacher posts the class goals and reminds the Students at least weekly of their “Learning Destination.” In December during the second round of assessment student can see if they’ve grown.
