Directions: This form is a tool to assist teachers in setting a SMART goal that results in measurable
learner progress. NOTE: When applicable, learner achievement/progress should be the focus of the
goal. Enter information electronically into the cells (the boxes will expand to fit the text).
Initial Goal Submission (due by 9/30 to the evaluator)
I. Setting (Describe the population
and special learning
circumstances.)
I teach math to a class of 25 students – 12 males and 13
females. 40% of the students are identified as
ESOL/HILT, with ELP levels ranging from 1 – 4. Two
students have been identified with specific learning
disabilities and receive special education support within
the classroom.
II. Content/Subject/Field Area
(The area/topic addressed based 3rd Grade Mathematics
on learner achievement, data
analysis, or observational data)
The baseline data show that the average score on the
III. Baseline Data (What does the
Beginning of Year (BOY) mathematics assessment was
current data show?)
IV. Goal Statement (Describe what
you want learners/program to
accomplish.)
40%. Scores ranged from 12% - 60 %. The BOY serves as a
pre-assessment and measures their knowledge of grade 3
math content.
Data attached
For the 2012-13 school year, all of my students will
demonstrate measurable growth in mathematics.
The ten identified ESOL/HILT students will improve their
performance by at least 30% points on the third grade
3rd Quarter mathematics assessment.
The 3rd Quarter math assessment will be administered in
April and will measure students’ cumulative
understanding of grade 3 math content taught by this
point in the school year.
V. Means for Attaining Goal (Strategies used to accomplish the goal)
Instructional Strategy
Evidence
Create language objectives for each math
lesson.
Incorporate the use of sentences frames.
Language objectives will be posted,
students will review goals at the
beginning/end of the lesson.
Students will refer to sentence
frames during class discussions and
be able to represent their thinking
orally and in writing.
Target Date
Utilize anchor charts of content and
strategies taught throughout the school
year.
Use flexible grouping based on
assessments and modify instruction for
groups based on unit tests & quarterly
benchmark data. Identify SOL objectives
in need of reteaching/extension.
Incorporate the use of visuals with a
vocabulary work wall
Students will readily reference the
anchor charts throughout the
various units of study during the
school year.
Document groupings based on
assessments and observation data.
Word wall, identify key math
vocabulary by unit
