Collecting Baseline Data

Baseline Data Collected (record on student roster sheet) NOW WHAT?

Where do we want them to go? Using your baseline data, knowledge of content and pedagogy, and the context of your classroom you will create an ambitious goal for your students. What should this goal look like and how do I know it is a good goal? S Specific- The goal addresses student needs within the content. The goal is focused on a specific area of need. M Measurable- An appropriate instrument or measure is selected to assess the goal. The goal is measurable and uses an appropriate instrument. A Appropriate- The goal is clearly related to the role and responsibilities of the teacher. The goal is standards-based and directly related to the subject and students that the teacher teaches. R Realistic- The goal is attainable. The goal is doable, but rigorous and stretches the outer bounds of what is attainable. T Time-bound- The goal is contained to a single school year/course. The goal is bound by a timeline that is definitive and allows for determining goal attainment.
