Measures of Student Achievement

Tested Grades/Subjects
◦ 35% =
(median Student Growth Percentile)
◦ 15 % = SGO (Student Growth Objective)

Non-Tested Grades/Subjects (NTGS)
◦ 50% = SGO’s (1-2)
NTGS 101: Student Growth Objective Overview
Different types of Student Growth Objectives: Student
Growth Objectives can take many different forms
Type of SGO
Course-level
Class-level
Definition
Examples
Focused on the entire student
population for a given course,
which often includes multiple
classes.
Covers all of the students in a
teacher’s Algebra I classes (Ideally
the same form of assessment
covering all standards in the
curriculum)
Covers all of the students in ninth
period.
Focused on the student
population in a given class.
Targeted students
Focused on a subgroup of
students that need specific
support.
Covers a group of students that
scored below 45% on the pre-test.
Targeted content
Focused on specific skills or
content that students must
master.
Students will all master 80% of CCSS
standards related to Quadratic
Functions and Modeling

NTGS 101: Specific Student Growth Objective
Specific Objective: Examples
The word “specific objective” would likely be used to identify
anything that does not cover your general population or is not a
cumulative test
Type
Student Growth Objective
Targeted
students
The average score on the post-test for the ten ELL
students who scored below 40% on the pre-test
will be at least 70%.
Targeted
standard
The average student score on questions related to
Standard 5.1.12.B (scientific thinking and design)
will increase from 40% to 80%.

NTGS 101: Pilot Districts
Student Achievement Goals (SAGs): Pilot Districts were given the
recommendation to use SAGs for the 2012 – 2013 school year
Rationale
How did you choose the goal and why is it an
appropriate area of focus?
Aligned Standards
To what New Jersey or Common Core State Standards
does the goal align?
Baseline Student Data
What do you know about students’ achievement levels
at the start of the year?
SETTING YOUR GOAL
Directions: Please develop a SMART goal that indicates what you want your students to achieve over a specified
interval of instruction. You should also indicate the interval of instruction and whether the goal is a mastery or
growth goal.
Goal (example): 90% of Algebra 1 students will
master 80% or more course content, as measured by
the end of year district-wide, summative Algebra
assessment (the interval of instruction is a full year &
this is a mastery goal).
Interval of
Instruction:
 Full Year
 Semester
 Other
Type of Goal:
 Mastery
 Growth

NTGS 101: Pilot Districts

recommendation to use SAGs for the 2012 – 2013 school year
MEASURING YOUR GOAL
Directions: After you develop your goal, you will need to determine how you will measure the level to which you met
the goal. Please complete the table below to identify the achievement range that defines each of four goal
attainment levels.

Measures of Teacher Practice

50% = summative evaluation ratings based on
◦ Innovating (4)
◦ Applying (3)
◦ Developing (2)
◦ Beginning (1)
◦ Not Using (0)
 NOTE: “Not Using” refers to strategies that are expected and
not present. This is not the same as “Not Observed” which
means the strategy is not being rated in a given observation.
