  1. Developing Student Growth Objectives in ALL Content Areas Dr. Donna McInerney, NJPSA/FEA Lead Program Developer Dr. Brian Chinni, TMI CEO/Founder Dr. Adele Macula, NJPSA/FEA Consultant/Progr. Dev. April 29, 2013

  2. Desired outcomes… • understand “Achieve NJ” Student Growth Objectives (SGOs) requirements; • understand and apply the S.M.A.R.T.-based SGO development process; and • effectively lead professional staff in the creation of standards-based, assessment-driven SGOs.

  3. Activity No. 1: Let’s take our… SGO 101 Pre-Assessment! 3

  4. Activity #2: Self-Reflection

  5. Introduction to Student Growth Objectives: June January September 5

  6. G SLOs

  7. What is a Student Growth Objective? According to the NJDOE (2013), “Student Growth Objectives (SGOs) are academic goals for groups of students that are aligned to state standards and can be tracked using objective measures.” 7

  8. What is a Student Growth Objective? • A Student Growth Objective must be: • Annual, specific and measureable • Based on growth and achievement • Aligned to NJ/CC curriculum standards • Based on available prior student learning data • A measure of what a student has learned between two points in time • Ambitious and achievable • A collaborative process between teacher and supervisor • Approved by the principal 8

  9. SGO SETTING COMPLIANCE vs. PROCESS

  10. Compliance!…

  11. Introduction to Teacher Evaluation: Teacher Practice Performance on a teacher practice instrument, driven primarily through observation Stu. Growth Percentile State-calculated score that measures individual teacher’s ability to drive growth on NJ ASK NJASK Stu. Growth Objective Locally-calculated score that measures an individual teacher’s impact on stu. achievement Summative Rating Overall eval. score that combines the multiple measures of practice and student progress Inputs of Effective Teaching Outcomes of Effective Teaching N.J.A.C. 6A:10-4.1

  12. Student Growth Percentiles...for your information:            All students can show growth. • Student Growth Percentiles (SGP) measure how much a student has learned from one year to the next compared to peers with similar academic history from across the state. • Students scored on a scale from 1 – 99. • Growth baseline established by student’s prior learning as measured by all of student’s NJ ASK results. • http://www.state.nj.us/education/AchieveNJ/teacher/percentile.shtml                                          

  13. Tested Grades and Subjects (Currently grades 4-8, math and ELA): 50% from teacher practice and 50% from student achievement measures 50% Student Achievement 50% Student Achievement 50% Teacher Practice 50% Teacher Practice * The Department will look to incorporate other measures where possible and percentages will change as system evolves.

  14. Teacher Evaluation: Introduction Introduction to Teacher Evaluation: Teacher Practice Performance on a teacher practice instrument, driven primarily through observation Stu. Growth Objective Locally-calculated score that measures an individual teacher’s impact on stu. achievement Summative Rating Overall eval. score that combines the multiple measures of practice and student progress Inputs of Effective Teaching Outcomes of Effective Teaching N.J.A.C. 6A:10-4.1

  15. Teacher in Non-Tested Grades and Subjects: Weights will be phased in over time to move towards 50% teacher practice and 50% student achievement 50% Student Achievement 15% Student Achievement 85% Teacher Practice 50% Teacher Practice *The Department will look to incorporate other measures where possible and percentages will change as system evolves.

  16. Teacher Evaluation: Summative Evaluation

  17. Teacher Evaluation: Summative Evaluation This is a sample scale. The NJDOE will determine the actual scale prior to September 2013. 2.725

  18. Principal Evaluation: Introduction • New principal evaluation systems will include the following components: Principal Practice Performance on a principal practice evaluation instrument Eval. Leadshp. Outputs that define how well a principal is leading imp. of the eval system School SGP State-calc. score that measures a principal’s ability to drive growth in ELA and math Average SGO Locally-calc. score that aggregates the perf. of all teachers in a school on SGOs Admin. Goals Locally-calc. score that measures a principal’s impact on stu. achievement Summ. Rating Overall eval. score that combines the multiple measures of practice & outcomes Inputs Student/Teacher Outcomes

  19. Principal Evaluation: SGP and SGO Components School SGP • Principals whose students have SGPs will receive the average school-wide SGP score. • Principals will be placed in 3 categories: Multi-Grade SGP Principal, Non-SGP Principal, Single-Grade SGP Principal. Component weighting will differ across categories. SGO Average • Principals will be rated on their teachers’ success in achieving student growth objectives (SGOs) each year through an average of their teachers’ scores.

  25. Activity No. 3 S M A R T

  26. TYPES OF SGOs

  27. TYPE: General SGO – Elementary Literacy *These numbers will be determined by teacher and principal based on knowledge of students to create a rigorous and attainable goal

  28. TYPE: General SGO – 6th Grade Music Teachers can also use rubrics or portfolio assessments to measure student attainment. In this example the district created a rubric for 6th grade music teachers to measure attainment of certain skills.

  29. TYPE: Tiered General SGO – Physics 1

  30. TYPE: Specific/Targeted Students – Gr. 8 ELA For some teachers there may be a specific student group that is appropriate to target. In this instance, the teacher identified a group of students with low preparedness who he believed would benefit from increased work in reading fluency.

  31. TYPE: Specific/Targeted Content/Skill- History Teachers can also use rubrics or portfolio assessments to measure student attainment. In this example the district created a rubric for U.S. History students to measure attainment of specific critical thinking skills.

  40. Assessment: The “Heart” of the SGO? SGO Activity No. 4: Assessment

  41. SGO Checklist HERE

  42. Suggested Guidelines for Assessment Creation (NJDOE, 2013, p. 11) • Develop assessments collaboratively. • Align all assessments with NJCCCS or CCSS. • Align all assessments with district, school and department goals. • Make sure all the content in your SGO is covered in the assessment. • Incorporate test items that vary in levels of difficulty. • Include a sufficient number of test items to ensure rigor. • Collaboratively determine possible modifications to meet the needs of students. • Develop rubrics to assess essay responses. • Make sure content- and skill-based rubrics are specific and address multiple levels of proficiency. http://www.state.nj.us/education/AchieveNJ/teacher/SGOGuidebook.pdf
