6. The Construct of Student Growth

7. Growth versus Status Status Growth
Equitable models break the correlation between growth and status

8. Asking the Right Question
How do we know if a student grew more in School A than they would have in School B? A B
Issue of the control group.
In absence of randomization, longitudinal tracking & analysis is next best thing.

Growth is how a student performed relative to all other students with the same performance history.

11. LGM Projects Future Achievement
Your Local Growth Model (LGM) analyzes individual student performance longitudinally across multiple assessments and across multiple points in time.
A personalized projection is created for each student in the district based on the student’s prior performance history and local norms.

Demographics
Inclusion of student-level demographics sets differential standards for students.
This runs counter to initiatives related to closing the achievement gap.
Research shows demographics are not needed for equitable systems when using multiple predictors.

14. Visualizing Projections
Each student is assigned a personalized projection for a future test based on prior achievement and local district norms.

15. Visualizing Growth
Growth is the distance between projected and actual achievement.
Each student is plotted against a backdrop of typical growth and status and compared to all students with the same performance history.
