Use performance data to describe specific starting points and specific expected outcomes for students. Provide data for each of the assessment measures. Expected Targets Using data regarding the student’s starting points, identify the number or percentage of students expected for each level. Explain how these expected targets demonstrate ambitious, yet realistic goals for measuring students’ understanding of the growth goal.
