This guide explains how to calculate the average proficiency gains needed for students based on a SMART goal framework. Using Kelsey’s 4th-grade virtual class as an example, we demonstrate how to determine a 10% increase in reading scores by evaluating current performance. We break down the calculation process for both the class average and individual goals, ensuring clarity in understanding SMART criteria: Specific, Measurable, Aligned, Realistic, and Timely. This step-by-step approach helps educators set achievable targets for student success.

How To Find The Gains For SMART Goals SMART S=Specific M=Measureable A= Aligned R= Realistic T=Timely
SMART Goal: Whole Class • Kelsey’s 4th grade virtual class will make an average 10% proficiency gains in Reading according to Standard Test Scores by May 2013.
Kelsey Elementary School/4th Grade • Kelsey’s 4th grade virtual class will make an average 10% proficiency gains in Reading according to Standard Test Scores by May 2013.
Finding Average Score • 78+73+67+43+91+47+81+58+79+94+79+100+91+48+54+93+88+95+67+89= 1515 (Virtual Organization Portal, 2013)
Finding Average Score • 1515÷20= • 75.75 • 75.75 is the average Reading score for this class. Our SMART goal is to make a 10% increase from this number.
What score is 10% Higher than 75.75? • To find a percent of a number you divide your percent by 100 and multiply the decimal to the number • 10/100=.10 • 10% of 75.75 is • .10 X 75.75= • 7.575
New Score to Strive For • Average score= 75.75 • Add 10%= 7.575 • 75.75+7.575= 83.325 or the next whole number, 84
SMART Goal: Whole Class • Kelsey’s 4th grade virtual class will make an average 10% proficiency gains in Reading according to Standard Test Scores by May 2013.
SMART Goal: Individual Student • Alex will raise his proficiency in Reading by 10% according to Standard Test Scores by May 2013.
Alex’s Score • What is 10% of Alex’s current Reading Score? • Current score= 78 • 78X.10=7.8 • Why do we multiply 78 by .10? • 10%=1/100=.10 • What do you do with 7.8 now?
Alex’s Goal Score for Reading • Current Score=78 • Add 10%= 7.8 • Goal= 78+7.8= SMART Goal is 85.8
