MS Growth Goals Examples from Mr. Mumley 8th Grade Life Science The spring ’14 Science MSP indicated that only 37% of students met or exceeded standard in the “Inquiry” domain of the assessment. The target class will be the current year (’14-’15) 8th graders. By the end of the school year 50% of students will meet or exceed standard, an increase of 13%, on the middle school science MSP. The final assessment for this goal will be the Spring ’15 Science MSP but student progress will be measured throughout the year on various assessments from the start of the year through the spring. 8th Grade Life Science The initial classroom assessment with the current 8th grade class indicated that there were a number of students who were not meeting or approaching standard for the inquiry sub-category. This subgroup of 8th graders will be monitored more closely in our classroom units and upcoming assessments for specific growth. 100% of these students will increase at least 10 percent on classroom-based assessments. The final assessment for this goal will be our final classroom assessment which will come shortly before the MSP is taken in May. Progress throughout the year will be measured on other classroom assessments.
