TARGET AND NORM CHARTS
2013-2014 Version
St. Croix River Education District
Please discard your “green packet” from the 2012-2013
school year, and replace it with this current “blue packet”
of targets and norms for our assessments.

2013 – 2014 Target & Norm Charts
Highlights

Updated targets include:
o 1st grade Quantity Discrimination Measure (QDM)
o AIMSweb Math Concepts & Applications (MCAP)
o AIMSweb Oral Reading Fluency (CBM-R)
o NWEA MAP Reading

Why the change in labels?
o Rather than seeing Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3, in this packet you will see low risk
(Tier 1), moderate risk (Tier 2), and high risk (Tier 3).
o Reason: Tier 2 and 3 in the past has implied that the student is in some kind of
intervention. However with the higher targets now in reading it would not be
possible to have all students in yellow and red in a supplemental intervention.
So, we will use these targets to say how much risk a student is in and reserve the
term Tier 2 and 3 for those who are actually getting supplemental interventions.

A note about goal setting:
o Goals for interventions should be ambitious, but realistic. For measures that
have multiple benchmarks, individual student goals can be written for students
to reach the greatest benchmark target score (labeled as “low risk”) unless an
IEP team for a particular student entitled to special education services
determines a different goal for that student.

QDM First Grade: Lot’s of students end up in moderate at-risk yellow on this measure,
therefore, our advice is that you look at other indicators in addition, (in-class work, curriculum
tests, teacher recommendations) to determine who should get a supplemental intervention.
QDM First Grade:
 80% of the students who are at low risk will meet the Fall 2nd Grade MAP target.
 66% of the students at high risk will not meet the Fall 2nd Grade MAP target.
*Note: The Oral Counting Fluency and Missing Number Fluency used in this analysis are the
same as those available for download on AIMSweb. The Quantity Discrimination Measure used
for this analysis was revised to be inclusive of numbers 0-31 in Kindergarten, and 0-100 in
Grade 1. Student performance on AIMSweb Quantity Discrimination Fluency probes should not
be interpreted relative to the targets provided here.
Low Risk = at least a 75% chance of passing criterion

Based on a review of prior student data, we have confidence that students scoring ≥ 37 facts correct per minute in
the spring of grade 5 are highly unlikely to score below 30 facts correct per minute on math facts assessments in
grades 6-8, and as such may be excluded from math facts testing in these grades.
Based on a review of prior student data, we have confidence that students scoring ≥ 35 facts correct per minute in
the fall of grade 6 are highly unlikely to score below 30 facts correct per minute on math facts assessments in
grades 6-8, and as such may be excluded from math facts testing in these grades.

* Higher Risk benchmarks are based on professional judgment distinguishing between students
who are near target from those far from target.
These targets are for Spring prior to entering Kindergarten, however, these same targets will be
loaded into TIES for each benchmark season (Fall, Winter, and Spring) so that teachers can see
how many students are achieving the spring target as the year progresses.
