Key Strategies

• Identify the strategies you will use to meet your goal and the timeline by which it will be completed •What am I going to try? By when?•What are my students going to do?• How will I know if progress is being

made? What is the evidence I will collect?• How will I modify my strategies? 15

Achievement Goals vs. SLG GoalsAchievement Goal Student Learning Growth Goal

Does not consider baseline data

Student goals are a “one-size-fits-all” and do not include ALL students

Students are expected to cross the same finish line regardless of where they start.

16

Start with baseline data

Includes ALL students regardless of ability level

Students can show various levels of growth –students may have individualized finishlines.

Goal Sorting Activity

• Table Groups will:• Sort the slips into two groups by

Achievement Goals and Student Learning and Growth Goals • Discuss reasoning of their group selection

Achievement Goal Student Learning Growth Goal

100% of students will demonstrate growth in Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in the area of Functions as evidenced by performance on the district Pre-Calculus Final exam. All students will increase their CCSS Functions pre-assessment score to at least 75% on the district final CCSS Functions exam.

100% of students will demonstrate growth in Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in the area of Functions as evidenced by performance on the district Pre-Calculus Final exam. On the CCSS Functions pre-assessment, students who scored 0% -14% will increase to 75%, students who scored 15%-24% will increase to 80%, and students who scored 25%-34% will increase to 85% or above on the district final CCSS Functions exam.

Achievement Goals vs. SLG Goals

Identifying S.M.A.R.T. SLG Goals• Work with a partner.• Take 4 post-it notes and number from 1 to 4• Determine if each of the four statements on

Handout 2 are S.M.A.R.T. SLG goals or if they need revision and record Yes or No on post-its• On the post-it notes list the part of S.M.A.R.T. that

isn’t present in the statement • Place the post-it notes on the chart in the Yes/No

column

• Take a 15 minute break after making your determinations! 23

Revising SLG Goals

Looking at each of the four statements…•What revisions would need to be made?• Specific? •Measurable? Has an appropriate

instrument been selected?• Standards based?• Rigorous but attainable?• Bound by a definitive timeline?

24

Administrator SLG Goal• By the end of the 13-14 school year, the all

junior student reading OAKS scores will improve by at least 3% (85 to 88%), all junior student writing scores will improve by at least 3% (64 to 67%), and all junior math student scores will improve by at least 3% (73 to 76%) as measured by OAKS.• Is it a Growth Goal?• Is it S.M.A.R.T.?

25

OAKs Goal for Teacher Team• The students in Algebra I who did not meet or nearly met on

the 7th grade OAKS assessment will gain of 5 points on their OAKS testing score by May of 2014.

• • The students in Algebra I who exceeded on the 7th grade

OAKS assessment will gain 2 points on their OAKS testing score by May of 2014.

26

Now It Is Your Turn

•Now we will revise an actual goal received from someone in the audience (teacher goal and admin goal)•With a partner, revise the goal to

make it a S.M.A.R.T. SLG goal• Share out

27

Apply What You Have Learned•Examine your Student Learning and Growth Goal•See where there are areas for improvement•Modify or create a new goal

Final Thoughts

• Take a minute with your team and discuss how you will use this workshop in your school/district

• Jot down any lingering questions and we will answer questions during lunch
