Basic Growth Targets

Examples:

All students in an instructional group, class or course will improve by one proficiency level.

Pretest to posttest would grow from beginning(1) to progressing(2).
Students with proficient(3) or exceptional(4) will maintain their performance level.

All students will grow by points

Pretest to posttest would grow by 10 points.

8 of 12

Tiered Growth Targets

Focuses on grouping students based on ability

Give students pre-assessment
Review data
Group students based on pre-assessment scores
Set post growth target for students
Four Tier/Group Maximum

Example:

Pre-Assessment Score Range	Post Growth Target Min. Expected
0-16	25
17-33	35
34-50	40

9 of 12

Individualized Growth Targets

Useful when working with unique learners

Students with:

IEPs, 504s, and/or challenging behaviors increase by a percentage

LBS1s tend to prefer this approach

Works well with small populations
Tends to be useful with focused interventions

Example:

Student	Pre-Assessment Score	Post Growth Target
Steven	188	194
Ethan	205	211
Janae	248	251

Rating	Excellent	Proficient	Needs Improvement	Unsatisfactory
Description	More students than average (e.g. 75% or above) meet their growth targets or demonstrate above average growth.	An average number of students (e.g. 50-74%) meet their growth targets or demonstrate average growth.	Less than average number of students (e.g. 25-49%) meet their growth targets or demonstrate less than average growth.	Few to no students (e.g. less than 25%) meet their growth targets or demonstrate little to no growth.
