Student Growth Objectives (SGOs) are crucial academic goals tailored to groups of students, aligned with state standards, and measurable with objective metrics. Under the AchieveNJ evaluation framework, each teacher establishes SGOs in collaboration with their principal at the year's start. This cooperative development focuses on instructional content and measured skills. Principals are held accountable for supporting teachers in achieving these objectives and for student progress. This overview discusses various SGO types and their substantial impact on educational specialists.

Student Growth Objectives Overview and Impact on Educational Specialists
General Overview Student Growth Objectives (SGOs) are academic goals for groups of students that are aligned to state standards and can be tracked using objective measures. As part of the student achievement component of evaluation under AchieveNJ, each teacher sets SGOs with input and approval from his or her principal or supervisor at the start of the year. Specifically, teachers and principals/supervisors are expected to collaborate around the instructional content that will be covered and the skills and knowledge that will be measured. Principals are held accountable in their own evaluations for how well they help teachers with this process and for the degree to which SGOs are met by the teachers in their school. SGOs should be developed using available student data and created to be ambitious but achievable.
