Let’s look at the data…
National Norms

Interactive Rainbow Report: Norm Choosing “norms” and “school” will show both the local and National norms Hover to see number of students that fall into each category Displays range in scores
Interactive Rainbow Report: Criterion Can customize at the manager level Hover to show number of students in each tier.

Initial Performance Level (Starting Point) Grade Student Growth Percentiles ROIs Very Low 1-10 th Low 11-25th Average 26-75th High 76 th - 90th Very High 91-99th Descriptions of Growth Ambitious >85 Closes the gap > Insufficient <50
Key Points for SGP Table Student Growth Percentiles (SGP’s) were constructed based on five initial score levels that relate to the aimsweb national norms -Very Low (1st–10th percentile) -Low (11th–25th percentile) -Average (26th–75 th percentile) -High (76th–90th percentile) -Very High (91st–99th percentile) For each initial level, the following terms describe the growth: -85 th -95 th percentile: Ambitious -55 th -84 th percentile: Closes the Gap -Below 55 th percentile: Insufficient
How are SGP’s used for goal setting? System identifies the initial starting level by the baseline score and grade level chosen for the goal Based on the relationship of the number of weeks and ending goal selected, the system calculates whether the slope of the goal line reflects an insufficient, closes the gap, or ambitious growth.
Summary of SGP’s Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs): Allow schools to evaluate the progress of individual students relative to the rate of growth shown by students with similar initial scores in a national norm sample Controls for level to make a fair comparison aimsweb built this data into the slider bars so that no calculations on the part of the educator were necessary.
Progress Monitor Steps
Step 1: Find appropriate grade level
ON grade level monitoring Comparison: national norms Set up monitoring schedule and goal
Step 2: Set on level goal and schedule for student… Goal is not rigorous enough to catch the student up Goal is enough to move the student forward Goal is designed to help the student catch up
Set Intervention Interventions can be pre-loaded or added into the software Set up intervention duration and frequency
Off grade level monitoring Comparison: national norms Set up monitoring schedule and goal
Drop Down Method (was SLA) Process of testing students at successively lower grade levels to find the appropriate level for progress monitoring **Users must test students using the paper and pencil method when conducting the drop down method
Set off grade level goals and schedule for student… 1.Enter Baseline score from drop back method 2.Choose grade level 3.Follow the previous steps for setting up schedule and interventions
