Student Growth Objectives
Overview and Impact on Educational Specialists
General Overview
Student Growth Objectives (SGOs) are academic goals for groups of students
that are aligned to state standards and can be tracked using objective
measures. As part of the student achievement component of evaluation under
AchieveNJ, each teacher sets SGOs with input and approval from his or her
principal or supervisor at the start of the year. Specifically, teachers and
principals/supervisors are expected to collaborate around the instructional
content that will be covered and the skills and knowledge that will be
measured. Principals are held accountable in their own evaluations for how
well they help teachers with this process and for the degree to which SGOs are
met by the teachers in their school. SGOs should be developed using available
student data and created to be ambitious but achievable.
