2. Compass Improvements: Principal Goal Setting
PRIOR TO : Principal set a minimum of two goals, which express an expectation of student growth. SPS available for use as the measure of student growth.
BEGINNING : Principals will set goals where two are based in SPS with:
One goal based on overall SPS improvement
One goal aligned to components of school performance improvement
Sample Principal Goals: PRIOR to
Goal 1: 80% of students in grade 3 will meet or exceed 80% proficiency on the end of year teacher administered math fluency assessment.
Goal 2: 80% of my teachers will score a 3 or higher on their end of year Compass ratings.
Sample Principal Goals: BEGINNING
Goal 1: Current year student achievement, as measured by SPS, will meet or exceed which is an increase of points in overall SPS.
Goal 2: Current year student achievement, as measured by the Math Assessment Index, will meet or exceed .

6. Goal 3: Student Growth Goal
50% of students in my school will meet their expected growth target on state tests.
1 Should include all of the students in your school that take a state exam. You can divide the grades/subjects up among assistants for one their goals if you would like.
Insufficient Attainment of Target (1 point)
Partial Attainment of Target (2 points)
Full Attainment of Target (3 points)
Exceptional Attainment of Target (4 points)
Achievement Range:
Less than 35% meet their expected growth target.
35% - 49% meet their expected growth target.
50% - 65% meet expected growth target.
More than 65% meet expected growth target.

7. TPSS Leader SLT Requirement
All assessment components of the School Performance score must be covered by the administrative team at the school. Growth rate will be determined by grade level of school and LDOE charts.
Team approach – we are all in this together.

8. K-8 Example
Principal:
Goal 1: SPS growth
Goal 2: Growth in lowest assessment index from previous year
Goal 3: Student Growth Goal – including entire school
Assistant Principals/AA
Goal 1: assessment index growth by grade and/or subject based on areas of responsibility.
Goal 2: assessment index growth by grade and/or subject based on areas of responsibility.
Goal 3: student growth goal divided by grade or subjects.
All grades and assessment indexes should be covered by the administrative team.

9. High School Example Principals Assistant Principals/AA/Counselors
Goal 1: SPS growth
Goal 2: Growth in lowest assessment index (EOC or ACT)
Goal 3: Student Growth Goal – ELA and math EOCs.
Assistant Principals/AA/Counselors
Possible Goals depending on areas of responsibilities:
Growth in an assessment index (EOC or ACT) all or parts depending on area of responsibility. (i.e. An assistant who observes and provides support to all of the English teachers could do SLTs on the English II and III EOC.)
Graduation Index
Graduation Cohort rate
Student Growth Goal – divided by subjects

10. Sample Leader Goals
Goal 1: The School Performance Score will increase by ______ points from current SPS to goal SPS. Goal 2: The Math Assessment Index will increase by __ points from current index to goal index. Goal 3: 50% of students in my school will meet their expected growth target on state tests.
