LET’S GET SMART: WRITING SMART GOALS “A SMART goal clarifies exactly what is expected and the measures used to determine if the goal is achieved and successfully completed.” “SMART Goals Template” - Stanford University

LET’S GET SMART: WHAT IS A SMART GOAL?

LET’S GET SMART: IS THIS A SMART GOAL? (GROUP DISCUSSION) I have been invited to speak as an expert at a conference on SMART goals. The conference requires all experts to have published at least one book on their topic of expertise. In order to establish myself as an expert on SMART goals, I will write a 150-page book on how to create SMART goals. I will do this by writing one chapter per month (3-5 pages per week). The book will be completed in 10 months, and will then be self- published via Amazon.com.

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” John Dewey

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: KEY TOPICS  What is a Student Learning Goal (SLG)?  Who completes SLGs?  What is growth?  What guidelines should I keep in mind?  Student Learning Goal Example(s)

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: WHAT IS A STUDENT LEARNING GOAL? Professional Growth Goal  SMART Goal YOUR “baseline data”  Selected by reviewing your prior observations, evaluations, and self- assessment – YOUR “baseline data”  Focus on enhancing your professional practice Student Learning Goal  SMART Goal THEIR “baseline data”  Selected by reviewing your students’ prior achievement and results – THEIR “baseline data”  Certain requirements for data sources set by the State of Oregon  Addresses the most important learning in a course/class

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: WHAT IS A STUDENT LEARNING GOAL? A specific, rigorous, long-term growth goal for groups of students that represents the most important learning during an interval of instruction.

Key Point: Student Learning Goals are non-evaluative for Key Point: Student Learning Goals are non-evaluative for STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: A REMINDER…

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: WHO COMPLETES THESE GOALS? From ODE: Teacher: Any individual holding a Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) teaching license or registration (ORS & ) or who is otherwise authorized to teach in the public schools of this state and who is employed as an instructor at.5 FTE and at least 135 consecutive days of the school year (as per ORS ).

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: WHO COMPLETES THESE GOALS? From ODE: Administrator: Any individual holding a TSPC Administrator license includes any licensed educator (ORS & ), the majority of whose employed time is devoted to service as a supervisor, principal, vice principal or director of a department or the equivalent in a fair dismissal district but shall not include the superintendent, deputy superintendent or assistant superintendent of any such district or any substitute or temporary teacher employed by such a district.

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: WHO DOES NOT COMPLETE THESE GOALS?  School Psychologists  Social Workers  Occupational Therapists  Physical Therapists  Orientation/Mobility Specialists  TOSAs  Program Assistants  Instructional Coaches  English Language Acquisition Specialists  Mentor Teachers  Behavior Specialists

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: WHAT IS GROWTH? “…a change in student achievement for an individual student between two or more points in time.” Growth is… US Department of Education (2009)

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: IS THIS GROWTH? My students will be rated as “Meets” on their OAKS Reading results.

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: IS THIS GROWTH? 75% of my students will be rated as “Meets” or higher on their OAKS Mathematics results.

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: IS THIS GROWTH? Each of my students will increase their OAKS RIT score result by 20% from their prior testing results.

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: IS THIS GROWTH? Each of my students will improve their rating received on their pre-assessment by one level of proficiency when completing their annual summative assessment.

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: GUIDELINES - DATA CATEGORIES Three Categories of Assessment Data Category One Category Two Category Three Common National, International, Regional, or District-Developed Measures State or National Standardized Assessments Classroom-based or School-wide Measures OAKS, Smarter Balanced (when adopted), ELPA ACT, PLAN, EXPLORE, AP, IB, DIBELS, Easy CBM Other common assessments approved by state/district as valid, reliable and able to be scored comparably across schools or classrooms Student performances, portfolios, products, projects, work samples, tests

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: GUIDELINES - DATA CATEGORIES Are you in an OAKS Reading or Math tested grade or subject? (ODE defined as ELA and mathematics in grades 3-8 and 11) Are you in an OAKS Reading or Math tested grade or subject? (ODE defined as ELA and mathematics in grades 3-8 and 11) YESNO 1 Goal MUST use OAKS or ELPA 1 Goal will use a data source from Category 2 or 3 1 Goal MUST use OAKS or ELPA 1 Goal will use a data source from Category 2 or 3 2 Goals using data sources from Categories 1, 2, or 3 May only use a category once; two categories total must be selected 2 Goals using data sources from Categories 1, 2, or 3 May only use a category once; two categories total must be selected

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: GUIDELINES – WHAT STUDENTS TO INCLUDE?  Must write 2 Student Growth Goals in SMART format  Between the two goals, we are required to address all students in a particular class or course.

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: GUIDELINES – WHAT STUDENTS TO INCLUDE? For example:  If I was 4 th grade teacher, I could write 1 goal around OAKS Reading (which includes 100% of my students). My 2 nd goal could focus on either all of my students, or could target a specific sub-population of students I would like to work with.  If I was a Social Studies teacher, I could select my three periods of “World History” as my course. My 1 st goal could focus upon my TAG-identified students in my course, and my 2 nd goal could focus on my non-TAG identified students.

STUDENT LEARNING GOALS: RECAPPING  Write 2 Student Growth Goals in SMART format  Goals should focus on the most important learning students will be exposed to during class  Growth needs to measure a change in achievement between two or more points in time.  Select measures/assessments from two of the three state-defined categories
