3. For classes that have an end of year state assessment (3-8, EOC):
Goal 1: Assessment Index for Entire Class
Teacher will use the same method for setting their assessment index goal as the principal.
ELA, math, science, and social studies*
LDOE chart for rating scale (see next slide)
Based on the performance of students in their classroom only.
Use their previous year’s results to set the goal using the SPS calculator.
Use Student Stats to access information.
For students with no scores (home school, transfers): do not include them in your baseline goal or the final calculation to determine if you met the goal.
Example:
The Math Assessment Index for my classroom will increase by __ points from current index to goal index.
*see next slide for an example of the process using the Rating Scale Charts.

5. Social Studies
Social Studies: Because there was not an operational state test last year in Social Studies, social studies teachers will…
Grades 5 – 8: Use the state test results for their current students from the school year to determine their baseline assessment index for their class. The state assessments are normed to be comparable across multiple years.
These can accessed through Student Stats
Use this method for teachers that only teach social studies. If they teach other core classes, the can write their goal on those subjects.
Grades 3* – 4:
The district recommends that teachers not write a Social Studies goal for this year. 3rd and 4th grade teachers should write goals on the other subjects taught.
If you have a 3rd or 4th grade teacher that only teachers Social Studies, contact the district office for suggestions.
*see next slide for more information about 3rd grade.

6. Grade 3
Since the current 3rd grade students do not have any state testing data and only district benchmark results in ELA and mathematics. They should do the following for their assessment index goal:
Option 1: Compute their own classroom’s assessment index for ELA, mathematics, or science from the school year and use that as a baseline for this year’s goal.
Option 2: Use the school’s assessment indexes in ELA, mathematics, or science from the school year as the baseline for this year’s goal.
Evaluators can adjust up or down depending on class composition.

7. High School EOCs
To compute the baseline assessment index for EOC courses:
Option 1:
Use the teacher’s EOC results to compute a baseline assessment index.
Option 2:
Use the school’s EOC assessment index as their baseline assessment index.
Evaluators can adjust up or down depending on class composition.

8. Goal 2
For teachers who teach more than one core subject tested by the state:
Assessment index for other core subject: ELA, math, science, social studies (5-8).
For teachers who only teach one core subject tested by the state:
Set a goal for students below proficient. Format on next slide.

9. Below Proficient Goal
30% of students in my 8th grade math classes1 who scored below proficient2 on the 7th grade math LEAP test will improve at least one performance level3 on the 8th grade math LEAP test.
1 The common grade and subject class that you teach. It should include all of the same classes that you teach.
2 However proficient is defined (Basic or above, Good and Excellent).
3For example, from Approaching Basic to Basic, Unsatisfactory to Approaching Basic.
Insufficient Attainment of Target (1 point)
Partial Attainment of Target (2 points)
Full Attainment of Target (3 points)
Exceptional Attainment of Target (4 points)
Achievement Range:
Less than 15% improve one achievement level.
15% % improve one achievement level.

More than 45% improve one achievement level.

10. Sample K-8 Below Proficient Goal
30% of students in my 3rd grade math class1 who scored below Basic on the previous year's benchmark test will improve at least one performance level3 on the 3rd grade mathematics LEAP test.
1 The common grade and subject class that you teach. It should include all of the same classes that you teach.
2 However proficient is defined (Basic or above, Good and Excellent).
3 For example, from U to AB, AB to B.

11. Sample 9-12 Below Proficient Goal
30% of students in my English II class1 who scored below proficient2 on the previous year's English I End of Year benchmark test will improve at least one performance level3 on the English II EOC.
1 The common grade and subject class that you teach. It should include all of the same classes that you teach.
2 However proficient is defined (Good and Excellent).
3 For example, from Poor to Fair, Fair to Good

12. Sample 9-12 Below Proficient Goal
30% of the 11th graders in my English III class1 who scored below an on the previous year's English portion of the Plan test will score and 18 or higher3 on the English portion of the Spring 2015 ACT taken by 11th graders .

13. General Format for Teacher SLTs without a State Test and using a District-wide Common Assessment (K-2 ELA and math, non-EOC tested HS core subjects)
The percent of students scoring proficient1 in my 2nd grade math classes2 on the appropriate grade-level District-wide End of Year math assessment3 will be at the District Average (DAVG)4.
1however proficient is defined: Basic or above, Good or Excellent, 80% or higher, etc.)
2 grade and subject you teach
3 whatever District-wide End of Year test is given for the grade and subject. See district chart for list of assessments.
4 this will be determined at the end of the year – there will be variance by grade of school – see upcoming slide.
** This example is for a C School

14. Goal Differentiation Based on School Letter Grade
Goal would be…
A Schools
20% higher than the district average*
B Schools
10% higher than the district average**
C Schools
District Average
D Schools
10% lower than the district average
Schools will use their new Letter Grade to set SLTs.
* “A” schools will write their goals to meet Mastery or above.
**When the district average is greater than 70%, the top ranges will split the difference between that number and 100.

15. Examples of Target Statements – 2nd grade ELA

18. SLT Example without a State or District End of Year test
The percent of students scoring proficient1 in my 8th grade Physical Education class2 on the end of year assessment3 will be 80%4.
80% of the students in my physical education class will score proficient on the end of the year assessment.
1however proficient is defined: Basic or above, Good or Excellent, 80% or higher, etc.)
2 grade and subject you teach
3 Whatever end of year assessment is appropriate for the class. If there is a national, state college, certification or district test available, that test should be used.
4 General definition of proficiency. This may vary based on school letter grade, historical data, and baseline data.
** This example is for a C School

19. Number of SLTs
Principals may want to consider having their teachers write more than two goals in order to cover all of the tested subjects they teach or to include school-wide initiatives.
The results are averaged for a final rating.

20. Suggested Scale for other non-tested grades and subjects
Percent of students who score “proficient”
D or F schools:  70%
C schools:  80%
B schools:  90%
A schools:  100%
*based on the idea that A schools are expected to have 100% of their students proficient. Adjustments can be made based on academic and non-academic courses and baseline data. When there are no proficiency levels assigned, proficient will be defined as 80% or higher.
