Colorado Growth Model Basics October 2010
Colorado Growth Model • Welcome • Agenda: • Index cards for questions • Overview of basic ideas within growth model • Interpreting individual student data • Interpreting school and district data • Question/Answer time
Overview of Growth Model • CDE Introductory Video • Target is proficiency in three years or 10th grade, whichever comes first • Status and growth data • Comparison with academic peers
Two ways to use growth data • 1)Reflection on past practice • Did students who had higher growth receive different instruction, intervention, and/or home resources that students with lower growth did not? • Are students who had lower growth considered average, gifted, struggling? • Was a student’s growth enough to have them eventually be proficient
Two ways to use growth data • 2) Address students who are currently not making enough progress • Students not on track to “catch up” and be proficient in three years or by 10th grade • Students who need a boost of motivation • Make sure students are receiving interventions and extra help needed • Action research – what is making a difference in the data?
Individual Student Data • Look at Student A and Student B growth printouts and discuss as a group: • Are these two students academic peers in math, reading, or writing in 2007? • For Student B, what kind of growth is needed this year in order for the student to be proficient in writing (high, typical or low)? • Describe how you might use this data with students and/or parents. • How can this be used in the RtI Process?
School and District Data • SchoolViewwebsite • Adequate growth = what a typical student in the school would need for growth in order to be proficient or advanced in three years or by 10th grade. • Median growth (Observed growth) = The middle percentile of all students after ordering them from highest to lowest.
Groups • Catching Up • U or PP – Can they catch up to proficiency with current growth? • Keeping Up • P or A – Can they stay proficient with current growth? • Moving Up • Proficient – Can they reach advanced with current growth?
Questions? • Important resources: • Val and I can pull data • District and school data available on www.schoolview.org
