9. Why SMART Goals? Clear & Understandable Vision of the Target
Targets as SMART goals.
SMART goals direct our “focus”
SMART goals help define exactly what the “future state” looks like and how it will be measured.

10. How To Write SMART Goals School SIP Goals
Identify the “big, critical-few” goals that need to be worked on (The Most Important Ones!)
Consult the data!
What are the greatest areas in need of improvement?
Dig deep and get specific (disaggregate!)

11. ITBS Language Total Scores
This data shows “the big picture” of language proficiency …

12. This data “digs deeper” through sub test areas of language skills…

13. This data “digs deeper through disaggregation ” of student subgroup population proficiency …

14. Subgroups:
African American
American Indian
IEP
Low Income

15. SMART Goal Conclusion…
During the school year, SAMPLE school will increase students’ proficiency in vocabulary skills in the non-proficient student subgroups as measured by the ITBS vocabulary sub test assessment (See targets below for each non-proficient sub group)

16. What SMART Goal would you suggest for this problem?
During the school year, Sample school will implement school wide RESPECT strategies as measured by a 10% decline in respect discipline referrals.

17. During the school year, Sample School will increase the respect shown by students as measured by a 15% reduction in office referrals due to “disrespect.”
During the school year, Sample School will increase the respect shown by students.
We will work on reducing office referrals.

18. Let’s Try It
Students will show one year’s growth in Language Total as measured by ITBS.
SMART Format:
During the school year, all students will improve their reading comprehension as measured by a 1.0 year gain in national grade equivalent from the ITBS Reading Comprehension sub-test.

19. 95% of all 11th graders receiving f/r lunch will score above the 40th NPR on ITEDs. (increase from 80%)
SMART Format:
During the school year, proficient 11th grade students in the f/r subgroup (as indicated by the ITED math concepts & problem solving) at Sample School will increase by 10% as measured by the ITED math concepts & problem solving subtest.

21. School SIP Goal SMART Goal = Writing Skills
Students will meet or exceed the district writing expectations as measured by the six-traits writing sample scoring.
SMART Goal = Writing Skills
During the school year, the number of first through fifth grade regular education students at Sample School improving their writing skills in targeted traits will increase 10% at each grade level (see chart) as measured by the Six-Traits scoring rubric monthly grade level assessments.
