Example of “nested” goals 8.1
8.1 Establish Team Student Growth Goals
(teacher as part of a grade-level, content area,
or other school/district team)
Between September and November, students will
understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning
to solve problems; as measured by ratio problems
relating to their school experiences, exit tasks, and
the unit assessment.
Teaching team will meet bi-weekly from September
to November to examine student work and
calibrate expectations.
“Nested” Goal 6.1
6.1 Establish Student Growth Goals Using
Multiple Student Data Elements (whole class
based on grade-level standards and aligned to
school and district goals)
Between September and November, students will
understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning
to solve problems; as measured by ratio problems
relating to their school experiences, exit tasks, and
the unit assessment.
“Nested” Goal
3.1 Establish Student Growth Goals (individual
or subgroups of students)
Between September and November, economically
disadvantaged students will understand ratio
concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve
problems; as measured by ratio problems relating
to their school experiences, exit tasks, and the unit
assessment using support such as connecting
mathematics to the real world, project-based
learning, and student constructed strategies.
