Student Growth Goal Setting Guide – 8.1
This guide will assist teachers in creating student growth goals for students and evaluators in having the
conversations with teachers that are needed in order to evaluate the implementation and success of
those goals. For the 2014-2015 school year, all Shoreline teachers on the Focused evaluation are being
evaluated on Criterion 8 only. Therefore teachers need to write a goal for S.G. 8.1 – Establish Team
Student Growth Goal. This work is best done in an instructional team or PLC group.
Step 1: Review SIP & Establish a Focus for Student Growth Goals/ Identify Standard
CONTEXT: Think about your content area and the standards/skills that you teach. Ask yourself and your
instructional team these questions.
 In our discipline, what do our students struggle with (standards/skills)?
 Where can we find data to tell us more?
 What does that data tell us?
LEARNING STANDARD: Ask your team these questions.
 Which big idea is supported by the learning goal?
 Which content standards are associated with this big idea?
 Why is this learning goal important and meaningful for students to learn?
 In what ways does the learning goal require students to demonstrate deep understanding of the
knowledge and skills of the standards or big idea being measured?
 Identify the instructional period for the learning goal (benchmark period, fall to spring, one semester) and
why this time span is appropriate and sufficient.
Step 2: Identify/Select Assessments and Determine Timeframe
Assessments should be standards-based, of high quality, and designed to best measure the knowledge and skills
found in the learning goal. The assessment should be accompanied by clear criteria or rubrics to describe what
students have learned.


Describe the baseline assessment(s) (such as performance tasks, projects and their corresponding rubrics)
that measure students’ understanding of the learning goal.
Describe the growth assessment(s) (such as performance tasks, projects and their corresponding rubrics)
that measure students’ understanding of the learning goal.
Explain how student performance is defined and scored using the assessments. Include the specific rubric
and/or scoring criteria to be used.
How often will you collect data to monitor student progress toward this learning goal?
How will you use this information to monitor student progress and to differentiate instruction for all
students (Criterion 6 and 8)/ students in the subgroup (Criterion 3) toward this learning goal?
Step 3: Establish Learning Targets
Targets: identify the expected outcomes by the end of the instructional period for the instructional group.
Although achievement of the team goal is not evaluated (there is no 8.2), it is expected that the team will
establish learning targets. Review the rubric language for 3.2 and 6.2. The terms are intentionally vague. This
provides an opportunity to allow the teacher teams and administrator to have deep reflective conversations
based on the specific context of the classroom including the unique and specific needs of the students. Having a
one size fits all definition of “none, some, most and nearly all” may inhibit the deep conversations that are
supposed to be taking place between the teacher and principal. Use performance data to describe specific
starting points and specific expected outcomes for students.
Step 4: State the Goal
Write a short description of what students will know/be able to do at the end of an instructional period based on
course- or grade-level content standards and curriculum.

Essential Learning

(To what essential
standard(s) or significant
learning in the content
area does this goal relate?
What do you want the
students to know?)
STEP 2: Identify Measures and Determine Timeframe
Baseline Measures
(What measure(s) will be
used to determine

learning? )
Growth Measures
(What measures will be
used to demonstrate
growth and learning?)
Timeframe (When will
success be measured?
What is the instructional
timeframe?)
STEP 3: Establish Learning Targets
(Targets may be developed collaboratively with principal). Using data regarding students’ starting points, identify the
targets expected for “high” and “average” growth. Explain how these targets demonstrate ambitious, yet realistic goals.
High Growth Target
Evidence of high growth
