  1. SGO 2.0:from Compliance to Quality Increasing SGO Quality through Better Assessments and Target Setting

  2. Objectives for Today • Clarify what SGOs are and what they are not. • Develop a foundational understanding of how to develop and choose high quality assessments. • Investigate appropriate ways to set targets using readily available student data. • Develop a series of concrete next steps that will allow you to increase the quality of SGOs in your district.

  3. How many SGOs do I need? Two One You have an SGP You do teach 4th -8th grade ELA or math, and have at least 20 students with SGPs total for last year and this year combined • You do not have an SGP • You do not teach 4th-8th grade ELA or math • You teach 4th-8th ELA or math, • have fewer than 20 students, and it is your first year with SGP • Your total students for last year and this year may be lower than the required 20

  4. Clarify what SGOs are and what they are not. Part 1

  5. General and Specific SGOs GeneralSpecific • Captures a significant proportion of the students and key standards for agiven course or subject area • Focuses on a particular subgroup of students, and/or specific content or skill SGO 1.0 2013-14 Most teachers will be setting this type of SGO For teachers whose general SGO already includes all of their students, or those who receive an SGP

  6. Excerpt from SGO Quality Rating Rubric SGO Quality Rating Rubric – 1st handout

  7. 2014-15 SGO Form Significant proportion of students, standards and course High-quality test normally administered at this time 2014-15 SGO Form - Handout 2

  8. Develop a foundational understanding of how to develop and choose high quality assessments. Part 2

  9. SGO Quality Assessment Quality depends upon • Poorly designed assessments do not accurately measure student knowledge and learning. • If SGOs are based on low-quality assessments, then the SGO process cannot yield accurate or meaningful results. • If SGOs do not yield accurate or meaningful results, they will fail to promote good instruction and improve student learning.

  10. Assessments – SGO Rubric

  11. Types of Assessments for SGOs Teachers may use but are not limited to: • Portfolios • Performance Assessments • Benchmark Assessments • Program-based Assessments Whether locally-developed or commercial, multiple choice or rubric-based, assessments should follow the rules of good assessment design.

  12. What Does Good Assessment Look Like?

  13. Elements of Assessment Design Begin with the End in Mind • Purpose SGO assessments are measures of how well our students have met the learning goals we have set for them.

  14. Elements of Assessment Design Depth of Knowledge Wheel • Range of Rigor/DOK 4 minute video explaining DOK using the Gettysburg Address Handout

  15. GTPS SGO Suggestions – Handout 3

  16. Investigate appropriate ways to set targets using readily available student data. Part 3

  17. What is the Alternative to Pre-/Post-testing Model for SGOs? • Create learning targets for key concepts and skills that students can be expected to master in a course based on a rough sense of where they start using a variety of typically-collected information about student learning

  18. Information you could potentially use to determine students’ starting points. • Previous year’s scores • Recent test performance • Well-constructed and administered high-quality baseline assessments

  19. 2014-15 SGO Starting Points

  20. Determine Appropriate Learning Targets • Determine the level of performance on the assessment that would indicate a sense of competence/mastery of the content and skills. • Modify learning targets so they are ambitious and achievable for the preparedness level of the students .

  21. Collecting Student Data

  22. Determine Teacher’s SGO Score • Use and adjust ranges of student performance to derive a score that accurately reflects teacher’s effectiveness while taking into account the fluid nature of teaching and learning.

  23. Calculating Your Score

  24. Points from Admin Discussions • End of year assessment may only be administered once. • Midterm and/or final are stand-alone tests, not an average of unit tests. • Final assessments must be submitted for approval as per the rubric unless an approved program assessment is being used. • Minimum # of students included in SGO is 50% except for those who exceed 150 students.

  25. Part 4 Next Steps: • Begin collaborating with colleagues. • Begin completion of Student Data Form. • Assistance will be provided by Curriculum Supervisors, TLFs and Building Administrators. • Time will be provided on the fall staff development day October 13. • SGO is due to building administrator on October 21 (All SGOs must be approved by October 30as per DOE). • Final approved document will be uploaded into Teachscape.

  26. Resources • Updated SGO guidebook and forms • Expanded SGO library Information www.nj.gov/education/AchieveNJ Questions educatorevaluation@doe.state.nj.us 609-777-3788
