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 Increase the percentage of students scoring proficient on iLEAP/LEAP to 63% (grades 3 – 8). Decrease the percentage of students in grades 1 – 3 who are intensive on Dibels to 10%.

Grades K-2 schools (examples for C school): Option 1: – One based on percentage of students who score Basic or above on the End of Year District Benchmark Test in ELA. Example: On the End of the Year District Benchmark Test in ELA, 69% of the students will score Basic or above. – One based on percentage of students who score Basic or above on the End of Year District Benchmark Test in mathematics. Example: On the End of the Year District Benchmark Test in mathematics, 56% of the students will score Basic or above.

Grades K-2 schools (examples for C school): Option 2: – One based on percentage of students who score Basic or above on the End of Year District Benchmark Test in ELA and mathematics.

On the End of the Year District Benchmark Test for grades K-5 in ELA and math, 61% of the students will score Basic or above. Principal On the End of the Year District Benchmark Test for grades 3-5 in ELA and math, 60% of the students will score Basic or above. On the End of the Year District Benchmark Test for grades K-2 in ELA and math, 62% of the students will score Basic or above. Assistant 1 Assistant 2 5 th Grade Teacher On the End of the Year District Benchmark Test for grade 5 in ELA and math, 63% of the students will score Basic or above. Kindergarten Teacher On the End of the Year District Benchmark Test for Kindergarten in ELA and math, 62% of the students will score Basic or above. 1 st Grade Teacher On the End of the Year District Benchmark Test for grade 1 in ELA and math, 62% of the students will score Basic or above. 2 nd Grade Teacher On the End of the Year District Benchmark Test for grade 2 in ELA and math, 62% of the students will score Basic or above. 3 rd Grade Teacher On the End of the Year District Benchmark Test for grade 3 in ELA and math, 57% of the students will score Basic or above. 4 th Grade Teacher On the End of the Year District Benchmark Test for grade 4 in ELA and math, 60% of the students will score Basic or above. Example

Grades 9-12 Schools (examples for C Schools) – One must be based on percentage of students scoring Good or Excellent on all of the EOC tested subjects. Example: On the Spring 2014 EOC tests, 53% of the students will score good or excellent. – One must be based on having a certain percentage of Seniors score 18 or higher on the ACT by April Example: By April of % of seniors will have a score of 18 or higher on the ACT.

9-12 Options for Assistants Goals around the 4 parts of the SPS – Graduation index AP, IB, IBC, dual enrollment, etc. – Graduation rate On track graduation rate, credit recovery, etc. – EOC Could be divided by subject clusters (use rates for each subject from the charts) – ACT Could be divided by component scores Could focus on improvement from Explore, Plan, and ACT (progress points – should use 30% or more for goal)

School Leaders and Teachers will set their Student Learning Target Goals using District created charts based on previous year’s data (when available) See charts on upcoming slides.

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.

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 53% as the goal. (student population 1,200) less than 37% (455 or less students) score Basic or above. 37% - 52% ( students) score Basic or above 53% - 68% ( students) score Basic or above 69% or more (817 or more students) score Basic or above -15% from goal+15% from goal For goals that are 70% or higher, spilt the difference between Full and Exceptional. Include number and percent in goals.

Teacher SLTs Step 1: The school leader sets goals and provides guidance to teachers regarding assessments and goals to use. Goals should be set using district recommended assessments when available and/or using the same assessments that the leader used to set their goals. When district or state created 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 (Basic or Good).
