2. 1234 Measurement Type 2 Student Growth Objectives (SGO) Type of SGODefinitionExample Course-level Focused on the entire student population for a given course, which often includes multiple classes. Covers all of the students in a teacher’s Algebra I classes, for an elementary teacher.. Class-level Focused on the student population in a given class. Covers all of the students in a teacher’s ninth-period Algebra I class. Targeted students Focused on a subgroup of students that need specific support.

3. 3 Assessment Administer department-developed pre-test aligned with 2009 CCCS. Baseline Data Determine general preparation level. Group students into three categories (low, medium, high). Determine specific areas of deficit. Growth Targets General – set a target for all students at each preparation level covering all content. Specific – set a target for all students to grow in a particular content standard. 1234 SGO Components: Student Growth Objectives (SGO)
