Goals for school leaders should set a vision for what students should be able to accomplish by the year’s end. Goals for school leaders should: Tie into your district-wide goals Drive a leader’s daily work Align to teachers’ goals Help students be college and career ready

District Goals Based on 8 Critical Goals

Leader SLTs Grades 3 – 8 schools: – One must be based on percentage from chart of all tested grades and subjects. Example: On the Spring 2014 Leap and iLeap tests, 70% (210 of 300)the students will score proficient or above. – One must be based on moving at least 30%(60 of 200) students who score unsatisfactory or approaching basic up one level. Example: On the Spring 2014 Leap and iLeap tests, 30% of the students that scored unsatisfactory or approaching basic on the previous year’s test will score one level higher.

Leader SLTs Grades schools (examples for C school): – One must be based on percentage from chart of all EOC tested subjects. Example: On the Spring 2014 EOC tests, 64% of the students will score good or excellent. – One must be based on having a certain percentage of Juniors score 18 or higher on the March 2014 ACT assessment. Example: On the March 2014 state-wide administration of the ACT test, 50% of the Juniors taking the test will score 18 or higher.

Leader SLTs Grades K-2 schools (examples for C school): – One must be based on percentage from chart of all Dibels tested grades at the school. Example: On the End of the Year Dibels Next assessment, 64% of the students will be at benchmark. – For schools with a 2 nd grade, one must be based on the DBT: Example: On the End of Year District Benchmark mathematics test in 2 nd grade, the school average will be 80%. – For schools without a 2 nd grade, leaders can choose to do a math goal using Aimsweb or another Dibels goal focusing on lowering the number of students intensive to below 10%. Example: On the End of Year Aimsweb math assessment, 80% of the students will score proficient.

School Leaders will set their Student Learning Target Goals using the State Averages for Schools in their Category or District Guidance when available. See charts on upcoming slides.

Formula for Achievement Ranges with 70% as the Goal Insufficient Attainment is any result below Partial Attainment. (1 point) Below 54% Partial Attainment is a range from 15% below the target to just below the actual SLT. (2 points) 54%-69% START HERE: Full Attainment is a range from the actual SLT up to 15% above the target. (3 points) 70% - 85% Exceptional Attainment is any result above the Full Attainment range. This range should represent more than a year’s worth of growth. (4 points) Above 85%

Example Scoring Range with 77% as the goal. 61% or less of students will score Basic or above 62% - 76% of students will score Basic or above 77% - 92% of students will score Basic or above 93% or more of students will score Basic or above -15% from goal+15% from goal

SLT Writing Process for Teachers Step 1: The school leader sets goals and provides guidance to teachers regarding assessments and goals to use. Goals must be set using Tier 1 assessments when available and/or using the same assessments that the leader used to set their goals. When Tier 1 assessments are not available or the leader goals do not include the content of the course (i.e. physical education), goals must be set using the most rigorous and reliable assessments available. A teacher made test should not be used as the posttest when other assessments are available (see assessment chart). When possible, one goal should be for all of the students a teacher teachers and the other goal should focus on moving lower performing students to proficient.
