What is coming in 2018-19
The law (PA 173) requires student growth to increase to 40% of an educator's evaluation for tested grades and subjects. Half of the measure shall be based on growth and assessment data from the state assessment. The other half comes from local assessments. What happens when benchmark assessments such as NWEA-MAP, iReady, and STAR become approved by the state as the state tool to measure student growth? What will districts use to measure local growth and assessment data?
Solution: Simple Gain or Categorical Growth?
Since Student Learning Objectives are simple a PROCESS and a FRAMEWORK, educators must choose a growth measure to set growth targets. The two most common growth measures are Simple Gain (i.e. pre/post-testing) and Categorical Growth. Portions of the Practitioner's Guide from CCSSO focuses on these two common forms of growth: Simple Gain and Categorical (PDF). An example of categorical growth can be seen in the Sample Algebra 1 SLO by OAISD. Both guidance and the blank template can be found on the SLO Writing Guidance page.
