24. PM – built in Growth Norms • Found on Aimsweb website • http://www.aimsweb.com/roi-growth-norms • Or in Ver 1 software – Downloads tab • 1 page sample on Weebly site

25. Student Growth Percentiles Initial Performance Level (Starting Point) Very High 91-99th ROIs High 76th-90th Grade Average 26-75th Descriptions of Growth Ambitious >85 Closes the gap > 50-85 Insufficient <50 Low 11-25th Very Low 1-10th

26. Key Points for SGP Table • Student Growth Percentiles (SGP’s) were constructed based on five initial score levels that relate to the aimsweb national norms • -Very Low (1st–10th percentile) • -Low (11th–25th percentile) • -Average (26th–75th percentile) • -High (76th–90th percentile) • -Very High (91st–99th percentile) • For each initial level, the following terms describe the growth: • -85th-95th percentile: Ambitious • -55th-84th percentile: Closes the Gap • -Below 55th percentile: Insufficient

27. How are SGP’s used for goal setting? • System identifies the initial starting level by the baseline score and grade level chosen for the goal • Based on the relationship of the number of weeks and ending goal selected, the system calculates whether the slope of the goal line reflects an insufficient, closes the gap, or ambitious growth.

28. Summary of SGP’s Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs): • Allow schools to evaluate the progress of individual students relative to the rate of growth shown by students with similar initial scores in a national norm sample • Controls for level to make a fair comparison • aimswebbuilt this data into the slider bars so that no calculations on the part of the educator were necessary.

29. Progress Monitor Steps

30. Step 1: Find appropriate grade level

31. ON grade level monitoring Comparison: national norms Set up monitoring schedule and goal

32. Step 2: Set on level goal and schedule for student… Goal is not rigorous enough to catch the student up Goal is enough to move the student forward Goal is designed to help the student catch up

33. Set Intervention • Interventions can be pre-loaded or added into the software • Set up intervention duration and frequency

34. Off grade level monitoring Comparison: national norms Set up monitoring schedule and goal

35. Drop Down Method (was SLA) Process of testing students at successively lower grade levels to find the appropriate level for progress monitoring **Users must test students using the paper and pencil method when conducting the drop down method

36. Set off grade level goals and schedule for student… • Enter Baseline score from drop back method • Choose grade level • Follow the previous steps for setting up schedule and interventions
