  3. Today’s ObjectivesThe Nuts and Bolts • Leave in a better position to understand: • the complexities of getting SGGs right, • the importance of getting SGGs right, and • the support that principals and teachers need to do it right. • Realize that there are two ways to implement SGGs: • as a state add-on requirement – letter of the law, or • properly and fully as a catalyst for deep and rich teacher and school improvement. Handout 2

  4. Which of these do effective teachers do? …plus one! • Assess students to determine their instructional levels and clarify their academic needs • Set instructional goals for students • Design strategies and identify resources to address identified needs • Monitor and assess student progress throughout the school year and adjust instruction accordingly • Work cooperatively with colleagues to share professional expertise • Formalize this process so that the teacher’s effectiveness can be documented and acknowledged Handout 2

  11. What does research say about student growth goals and student achievement?

  12. Review of Research: Two Facts and a Fib 18-41 percentage point gains when teachers set and communicate clear goals for learning Formative assessment in the classroom can result in increases in student learning up to half a grade level Schools that show multiple years of improvement use data to make decisions and encourage teachers to use student learning data to make instructional decisions   2 grade levels  Handout 3

  13. Review the studies that support student growth goals. Which ones resonate with you? Why? Discuss these with your table mates. What does research say about student growth goals and student achievement? Handout 3-4

  14. The Student Growth Goal Process – Nuts and Bolts Handout 4

  15. Is your cholesterol at goal? • What is the need? • What is the goal? • What are we going to do to get to the goal? • How are we going to know if we are making progress toward the goal? • How will we know if we met the goal?

  16. Student Growth Goal Process Step 2: Create specific learning goal based on pre-assessment. Step 4: Monitor progress through ongoing formative assessment. Step 1: Determine needs. Step 5: Determine whether the students attained the goal. Step 3: Create and implement teaching and learning strategies. Handout 4

  17. Step 1: Determine Needs Step 2: Create specific learning goal based on pre-assessment. Step 4: Monitor progress through ongoing formative assessment. Step 1: Determine needs. Step 5: Determine whether the students attained the goal. Step 3: Create and implement teaching and learning strategies. Handout 4

  18. A. Determine your focus. STEP 1: Determine Needs Handout 4

  19. Determine Your Focus • Which subject(s) or class(es) will you choose? • How broad/narrow will your focus be? • What are the essential skills in the content area? Handout 4-5

  20. How do we determine focus? • Data from previous years • Rising students’ previous scores • Trend data for grade level/subject area • Curricular needs • District vision or mission • Other Handout 5

  21. Sunshine Middle School:6th Grade Math • Four 6th grade math teachers • Beginning of each year, they analyze the combined 5th grade end-of-year assessment results from elementary-feeder schools Handout 5

  22. Sunshine Middle School - Grade 6 Use the Grade 5 End of Year Assessment Combined Results • What trends and patterns do you notice? • What implications does this have for 6th grade mathematics instruction? Handout 5-7

  23. B. Choose the assessment(s) to measure your focus. STEP 1: Determine Needs Handout 7

  24. How Do We Determine What Pre- Assessments to Use? • Emphasis on tests with higher validity and reliability • Must be able to show progress in skills or content • What is already in place? Assessment examples on pages 8-10 Handout 7

  25. Sunshine Middle School Grade 6 Math Teacher Teacher Example: Emma Euclid

  26. Rationale for Student Growth Goal Reviewed Grade 5 End of Year Assessment Combined Results for feeder schools. Determined: • upcoming students generally do well with computation and estimation, • strand analysis shows difficulty with other subject areas that use problem-solving, and • baseline data analysis indicates students especially struggle with open-ended, or short answer questions. Problem solving will be our focus for this SGG. Handout 11

  27. Baseline Data • Administered grade-level appropriate word problem. • Graded student responses using the Mathematics Problem Solving rubric. • Analyzed results. Handout 11-14

  28. Example Baseline Problem Ms. Lewis bought two MP3 albums for $13.35 each and three DVDs for $11.99 each. These prices include tax. She gave the cashier $75.00. How much change should Ms. Lewis have? Why choose this problem? • From example practice 5th grade assessment • Can be solved in a variety of ways • Can be represented visually Handout 11-14

  29. Baseline Data Handout 16

  30. Baseline Data: Disaggregated Averages by Component and Level Handout 16

  31. Step 1: Determine Needs Teacher Action Steps for Step 1. A. Determine focus B. Choose assessment(s) to measure focus area. To Do: • With your table mates, discuss consideration/concerns and brainstorm specific actions you can take to support principals and administrative leaders in Step 1. (What, Why, Who, When, and How) • Consider both A and B. • Be prepared to share out. Handout 17-18

  32. Step 2: Create the Student Growth Goal Step 2: Create specific learning goal based on pre-assessment Step 4: Monitor progress through ongoing formative assessment Step 1: Determine needs Step 5: Determine whether students achieved the SGG Step 3: Create and implement teaching and learning strategies Handout 19

  33. KDE Requirements for SGGs • Must have a proficiency/achievement component • Must have a growth component • Must be SMART Handout 19

  34. Which picture represents achievement?Which represents progress?

  35. PROGRESS/GROWTH Students will score X% greater on the post-test than on the pre-test. OR Students will increase their performance by X performance level on the rubric. Progress (Growth) vs. Achievement (Proficiency) SGGs ACHIEVEMENT/ PROFICIENCY X% of students will achieve a score of X or higher. Handout 19

  36. Specific Measurable Appropriate Realistic Time-bound What Makes SGGs SMART? Handout 19

  37. SPECIFIC • The goal addresses student needs within the content. • The goal is focused on a specific area of need. Handout 20

  38. An appropriate instrument or measure is selected to assess the goal. The goal is measurable and uses an appropriate instrument. MEASURABLE Handout 20

  39. The goal is clearly related to the role and responsibilities of the teacher. The goal is standards-based and directly related to the subject and students that the teacher teaches. APPROPRIATE Handout 20

  40. The goal is attainable. The goal is doable, but rigorous and stretches the outer bounds of what is attainable. REALISTIC Handout 20

  41. The goal is contained to a single school year/course. The goal is bound by a timeline that is definitive and allows for determining goal attainment. TIME-BOUND Handout 20

  42. Example SMART SGG During the current school year, every student will make measureable progress in mathematical problem solving, as measured by the district rubric. Students will improve their scores as follows: • All students will improve by at least one level. • Students at Level zero will increase by two levels. • Students scoring at Level 3 will be rescored on a higher level rubric and will increase their performance by at least one level. Seventy percent of students will be at Level 2 by year’s end. • SMART SGGs are: • Specific • Measurable • Appropriate • Realistic • Time-bound Handout 20

  43. Example SMART SGG: Specific During the current school year, all students will make measurable progress in mathematical problem solving as measured by the district rubric. Students will improve their scores as follows: • All students will improve by at least one level. • Students at Level zero will increase by two levels. • Students scoring at Level 3 will be rescored on a higher level rubric and will increase their performance by at least one level. Seventy percent of students will be at Level 2 by year’s end. Handout 20

Seventy percent of students will be at Level 2 by year’s end. Handout 20

  47. Example SMART SGG: Time-bound During the current school year, all students will make measurable progress in mathematical problem solving as measured by the district rubric. Students will improve their scores as follows: • All students will improve by at least one level. • Students at Level zero will increase by two levels. • Students scoring at Level 3 will be rescored on a higher level rubric and will increase their performance by at least one level. Seventy percent of students will be at Level 2 by year’s end. Handout 20

  48. Step 2: Create SGG Teacher Action Steps for Step 2. A. Analyze data from assessments. B. Create SGG that is SMART and includes both growth and proficiency. To Do: • With your table mates, discuss consideration/concerns and brainstorm specific actions you can take to support principals and administrative leaders in Step 2. (What, Why, Who, When, and How) • Consider both A and B. • Be prepared to share out. Handout 21-22

  49. Step 3: Implement Teaching and Learning Strategies Step 2: Create specific learning goal based on pre-assessment Step 4: Monitor progress through ongoing formative assessment Step 1: Determine needs Step 5: Determine whether students achieved the SGG Step 3: Create and implement teaching and learning strategies Handout 23

  50. Too Many Ideas? The problem is “not a resistance to innovation…but the fragmentation, overload, and incoherence resulting from the uncritical and uncoordinated acceptance of too many different innovations.” (Fullan & Stiegelbauer, 1991, p. 197) Is this still a valid statement today? Do you agree or disagree?
