6. Progress vs. Achievement Progress Based Goal Achievement Based Goal For the 2013-2014 school year, 90% of students will score 80% or better on the third quarter assessment. • For the 2013-2014 school year, the identified students will increase their score by a minimum of 2 points on the writing rubric.

7. Three types of goals • Whole Group Goals • Data suggest that students come with relatively similar readiness levels for the content being taught. • Tiered Goals • Data suggest that students come with very different readiness levels for the content being taught. • Individual Goals • Used for smaller groups of students with a variety of readiness level and background knowledge. • Acceptable amounts of progress are often dependent on students’ historical academic performances.

8. Balancing Realism and rigor • Consider cut scores from Virginia Department of Education (or from other assessments) • 22 out of 40 items = pass/proficient • 34 our of 40 items = pass/advanced • Consider Curriculum • What are the needs of the curriculum (e.g. spiral curriculum)? • Have students been exposed to the information before? • Consider students’ backgrounds • How much growth have students historically made in this subject?
