What is a Student Growth Objective?
According to the NJDOE (2013),
“Student Growth Objectives (SGOs)
are academic goals for groups of
students that are aligned to state
standards and can be tracked using
objective measures.”

What is a Student Growth Objective?
A Student Growth Objective must be:
•
•
•
•
•

Annual, specific and measureable
Based on growth and achievement
Aligned to NJ/CC curriculum standards
Based on available prior student learning data
A measure of what a student has learned
between two points in time
• Ambitious and achievable
• A collaborative process between teacher and
supervisor
• Approved by the principal

Student Growth Percentiles...for your information: 
All students can show growth.
• Student Growth Percentiles (SGP)
measure how much a student has learned
from one year to the next compared to
peers with similar academic history from
across the state.
•
Students scored on a scale from 1 – 99.
•
Growth baseline established by student’s
prior learning as measured by all of
student’s NJ ASK results.

Suggested Guidelines for
Assessment Creation (NJDOE, 2013, p. 11)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Develop assessments collaboratively.
Align all assessments with NJCCCS or CCSS.
Align all assessments with district, school and department goals.
Make sure all the content in your SGO is covered in the assessment.
Incorporate test items that vary in levels of difficulty.
Include a sufficient number of test items to ensure rigor.
Collaboratively determine possible modifications to meet the needs of
students.
• Develop rubrics to assess essay responses.
• Make sure content- and skill-based rubrics are specific and address
multiple levels of proficiency.

At the end of last year I examined this cohort’s portfolios with

working with line, color, and shape, and pattern, they were not
obviously constructing composition, relating parts to the whole,
developing attention to detail, or mixing representational and
expressive techniques.

Visual Arts-3 Benchmark-I Assessment I
Administered BA-I during the first week of class. Students are
asked to draw a self-portrait from memory; then, using individual
mirrors, students do an observation of their face and draw a selfportrait with paper and pencil. Students are asked to reflect on the
choices they made regarding concept and technique, and explain
those choices verbally. Through this assessment I am able to
determine which techniques students relied on utilizing in their art,
which they were comfortable using in descriptive speech, and how
they articulated their process and choices.

For the 2013-2014 Visual Arts-3 Cycle Program, 100% of my 20
students will demonstrate measurable progress in their ability to
create portraits from observation in a variety of mediums
(including drawing with oil pastels, printmaking, collage, and
painting) that show evidence of problem solving using basic
visual arts concepts (including visual composition, color, shape,
as well as a mixture of representational and expressive
techniques), as aligned to State Grade 3-4 VA Standards 1 and 3.
In careful consideration of student K-2 Portfolios, related
artifacts and evaluative instruments, as well as individual

At this grade level students should expand the ways they draw and know
that there is more than one way to depict figures. As the art teacher for
grades 3-5, I work closely with the K-2 art teacher. In 2nd grade
students begin to develop exposure to drawing from observation, but
this is the first year this skill is explicitly discussed along with the
differences of drawing from memory. In the past, learning how to look
carefully at a subject has been a real challenge for students but drawing
from observation is a crucial skill and students are often eager to
develop their ability. It is developmentally appropriate for students to
hone their ability to make conscious choices utilizing media, concepts
and technique to represent the observable world. It is also critical that
students become more mindful of how these choices affect their artwork
and can describe these choices verbally. Students will be exposed to new
mediums, including oil pastels and printmaking, whereas in the earlier
grades they mainly utilized other drawing materials, cut paper, and
paint. This expands their opportunity to make choices in their artwork
and experiment with technique.

Principal as Instructional Leader:
Guiding the SGO Conversation
64
PREPARE SGO
• Is there a viable curriculum in place that is standardsbased and connected to daily instruction?
• What assessment data is available? What does the
assessment data tell us about our students? Are
additional assessments needed? If so, can these be
procured or will teachers need to collaboratively create
them?
• Are the assessments aligned to the standards?
65
PREPARE SGO
• Are the pre-assessments, formative assessments and postassessments aligned?
• Are PLCs/teams established and working effectively to
analyze student data and identify areas of student need?
66
DEVELOP SGO
• What student learning objectives will be the basis of my SGO?
•

•
•
•
What kind of SGO will I develop?
Progress and/or achievement?
General or General-tiered?
Specific – student group?
Specific- content/skill?
• If PLCs/teams have identified an area of student need, have
individual teachers developed growth goals specifically for
their students?
67
DEVELOP SGO
• Are PLCs/teams established and working effectively to
identify the most effective teaching and learning
strategies to maximize student achievement and meet the
SGO?
• Do teachers and/or PLCs/teams need targeted
professional development regarding specific strategies or
the diverse needs of learners?
68
IMPLEMENT and MONITOR the SGO
• Is student assessment data shared among colleagues so
that the needs of students can be more effectively met?
• Are PLCs/teams collaboratively reflecting on and
revising teaching and learning strategies and
instructional resources in response to analysis of
assessment data?
