SGO Scoring Process
Team Actions
1. Conduct End of Year Testing: Teachers and building leaders work together to administer end of year
assessments (MAP/DRA/SMI/Subject-specific/etc…)
2. Prepare Data: Teacher, coaches, school leaders prepare data for analysis
Teacher Actions
1. Self - Score SGO: Teacher scores their SGO
2. Submit SGO: Teacher attaches Scored SGO and relevant data in Teachscape. Provides assessment used if
not Math/ELA
Lead Evaluator Actions
1. Score SGO: Lead evaluator reviews data and SGO, inputs score into Teachscape
• If changing score – lead evaluator must document reason with evidence
• If confirming score – lead evaluator can simply cite evidence provided
2.
Inform Conversation: Use data to focus conversation on student outcomes
1. End of Year Assessments
• K – 8 DRA Testing: should all be administered, completed, and scored by April 15.
Scores submitted to On-Course by April 30.
• K – 1 enVisionMATH End of Year Test: should all be administered, completed, and
scored by Friday, May 23.
• 2 – 5 SMI Testing: May be started as early as Monday April 14 and must be
completed by Friday, May 23.
• 6 – 8 MAP Testing: May be started as early as Monday April 14 and must be
completed by Friday, May 23.
• 9 – 12 MAP Testing: May be started as early as Monday April 28 and must be
completed by Friday, May 16.
• All Others: Recommended that tests are administered and scored by May 15th
where possible.
2. Prepare Data for Scoring
• Organize and Analyze: Once teacher has given assessment,
they will then need to prepare data in a way that is
conducive to analysis and scoring of the SGO.
• Math/ELA Teachers: For MAP/SMI/DRA these reports should come in a
standardized form. Math, Literacy, and Data Leaders will be prepped to
help teachers prepare and interpret these reports.
• Other Subject Areas: For other subject areas, we will work with you and
your staff to help put this data into a standardized and manageable format.

Further Guidance and Support
1. Supporting Math/LAL: Turnkey training and support for teachers
over the next month about how to interpret data.
2. Supporting Other Subject Areas: Working with Coach evaluators to
support outside areas
3. Further Resources: Providing further guidance documents to
troubleshoot common questions
4. Individualized Support: Answering any further questions you may
have 1 on 1.
Office of Evaluation
Agenda
• Overview of the SGO Scoring Process
• Preparing for Conversations about Student Growth
• Questions
Example: Leading Conversation about Growth
Question

How many (what percentage) of your students made the
growth objective?
 Why do you think these students made the objective?
(Probe for strengths in understanding certain content,
effective teaching strategies that were used, formative
assessments that provided useful information, etc.)

Which students did not meet the growth objective?

What content did these students struggle with that
prevented them from meeting the objective?

What teaching strategies could you use to help students
understand this content in the future?
Response
Example: Leading Conversation about
Assessment
Question
• What Assessment(s) did you use to measure
your student’s growth?
• What kind of information about your students
did this assessment provide?
• Would you use this assessment as a
measurement for SGOs in the future? If not,
what would you use?
