4. Targets • I can apply guiding questions leading to the development of a quality student growth goal. • I can determine appropriate sources of evidence for goal setting.

5. Student Growth Process

6. Step 1: Determining Needs

7. Before Determining Needs: • Know the expectations of your content area standards • Know your students • Identify appropriate sources of evidence

8. Identify the essential/enduring skills, concepts, and processes for your content area. Pause for a moment and talk to others near you. Identify at least one essential/enduring skill, concept or process students should master by the end of the course for your content area.

9. What does mastery look like for the essential/enduring skills/learning, concepts, and/or processesfor your content area? Pause for a moment: Discuss with your table partner what mastery for that skill/learning, concept or process looks like? How do you know?

10. Example forWorld Language Proficiency The more specific indicator provides what mastery looks like: I can express myself with fluency, flexibility and precision on concrete and abstract topics. Enduring skill: Interpersonal communications competency

11. During the first 4-6 weeks of a year–long course, gather data about students’ abilities in your content. • What does last year’s data tell you? • What can previous teachers tell you? • How can you collect and analyze evidence/data to determine patterns, trends, and weaknesses? Pinpoint areas of need. • What are the most critical areas of need?

12. Decide on sources of evidence. Do the sources of evidence provide the data needed to accurately measure where students are in mastering grade-level standards for the identified area(s) of need?

13. Sources of Evidence: Variety Student Performances Products Common Assessments DistrictLearning Checks Projects LDC/MDC Classroom Evidence Student Portfolios Interim Assessments

14. Sources of Evidence: Variety Student Performances Products Comparable across Classrooms Aligned to Standards Common Assessments DistrictAssessments Projects Provide pre- and post-data Enduring Skills, Concepts & Processes LDC/MDC Classroom Evidence Student Portfolios Interim Assessments

15. Comparable across classrooms Do the measures used to show student growth expect students to demonstrate mastery of the standards at the intended level of rigor? Do my selected measures reach the level of rigor expected across the district?

16. Rigor Congruency to standards Do the measures provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate mastery of the identified skills, concepts or processes at the level of rigor intended in the standard?

18. Baseline Data • Does the data show critical areas of need that could be used for student growth goal-setting? • Are those needs appropriate for a year-/course-long student growth goal? • Are those needs aligned with grade-level enduring skills/learning, concepts or processes in your standards?

19. Step 2: Creating Goals Using the SMART Process

20. SMART Goal Process for Student Growth

21. Targets • I can apply guiding questions leading to the development of a quality student growth goal. • I can determine appropriate sources of evidence for goal setting.
