How to Establish and Utilize Long-Term Growth Standards Gary L. Williamson, Ph.D. Director of Accountability Operations, NCDPI Academic Growth
Strategies • Normative approach • Criterion Referenced approach • Judgmental approach
How to Modify an Empirical Growth Standard to Reflect Values • Start with the State Average Growth Curve • Change the intercept • Change the initial velocity • Change the acceleration (deceleration) • Some Combination of the above

Four Ways to Depict a Growth Standard • Graph • Table • Equation • Multi-Level Model

Growth Standard Presented as an Equation(Example) Note: Use T = (Grade – 3) when applying the model

Instructional Response to an Intercept • Review curriculum for K-3 • Instruction for diverse performance • Early intervention initiatives (e.g., Primary Reading Program, Smart Start, More at Four, etc.) • Realize young children are growing fast • Don’t do things that hold them back!
Instructional Response to Initial Velocity • Scope and Sequence • Pace of Instruction • Long-Term view
Instructional Response to Deceleration • Vertical articulation of curriculum • Alignment of instruction • Keep the end in mind
