Participants can use available resources to determine next steps for their school/ district.

Why Measure Student Growth?

Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Flexibility

Waiver

Past Evaluations

Seniority High Level of Principal Input

Degrees Earned

“If a goal of evaluating teachers is to ensure student learning, then

student learning must be a major part of what’s measured.”

Student Growth Process

Step 1: Determining Needs

“Just about everyone realizes that if a teacher does a great instructional job, that teacher’s students will usually perform better on tests.

It’s the other side of the equation that’s less often understood, namely that how a teacher tests — the way a teacher designs tests and applies test data — can profoundly affect how well that teacher teaches.”

From Test Better, Teach BetterW. James Popham

Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, 2003

Step 2: Creating Goals Using the SMART Process

SMART Goal Process

You need to KNOW your students in order to critique

the goal.

Step 3: Creating and Implementing Strategies

Step 4: Monitoring Student Progress and Making Adjustments

Step 5: Determining Goal Attainment

Sample assessments and goals.

Let’s take a look.

• Participants will consider content and rigor when determining congruence of items or tasks.

• Participants will analyze assessment items and/or learning tasks in order to determine congruency to KCAS.
