Developing Student Growth GoalsStudent growth” refers to the change in students’ knowledge and skills over time

1.Determine needs from District/building/classroom assessment

2.Create specific learning goals based on pre-assessment

3.Implement teaching and learning strategies (discuss with principal)

4.Monitor student progress through ongoing formative assessment

5.Determine whether students achieved the goals

Developing Student Growth GoalsMonitor services and progress:•How are your students progressing toward the goal you set? How do you know? •Which students are struggling/exceeding expectations? What are you doing to support them? •What additional resources do you need to support you as you work to achieve your goal for your students? •Are there any student attendance issues substantial enough to affect your student growth objectives? •Are ELL, Title I, SE, RTI students receiving the services they are entitled to?

Non Observable Domain…...

A domain that we do not typically see from observation directly. They can be best demonstrated through:

•Record keeping (Such as data for RTI meetings, PTC, etc)

•Behavior/ Phone/communication log

•Letter to parents /Involvement in school programs and initiatives

•Documents from professional development

•Suggested to gather evidence through interview, artifacts, and teacher’s self

reflection

Professional Growth GoalsUsing the Gap area(s) identified through self Assessment, write a professional growth goal that answers:

1.How has my self reflection and assessment informed this goal?2.What professional development will help me accomplish my Professional Growth Goal? 3.What do I want to change about my instruction that will effectively impact student learning4.What are the measures of success I can use?5.How will achieving my professional growth goal improve student learning and engagement?6.How might I team with colleagues and seek support staff assistance to achieve my goal?

Professional Growth Goal is based on Self Assessment; However it must directly correlate with:

•Classroom Environment & Instruction

•Relevance to the school’s specific area of focus

•Should involve relevant colleagues

We have over 70 Administrators that have passed the assessment. We are now starting the third cohort

In order to pass it requires between 20-40 hours of training.

True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.

“People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did.

But they will never forget how you made them feel”
