Student Growth Measures
How Is Student Performance Measured?
Student Growth
-
Compares the student to the standard.
-
Documents performance at a set point in time.
-
Does not factor in a student's background or local context (one size fits all).
VS
Student Achievement
-
Measures student academic progress achieved in response to teacher practice.
-
Measures student academic progress during a specific amount of time.
-
Provides student data to adapt growth expectations to each student's context.
-
Focuses on the progress a student makes, not necessarily on whether a student meets a predetermined benchmark.
What are the options for assessing student growth?
Pre & Post Tests
Examples:
-
STAAR
-
NWEA MAP
-
Released STAAR
-
District-Created Tests
-
Circle
-
TPRI
Portfolios
Best for classes where skills are assessed rather than content knowledge.
-
Teacher/admin created rubrics.
-
Multiple artifacts collected over the year.
Student Learning Objectives (SLOs)
Growth is determined by looking at the student's body of work, as opposed to a test.
-
Districts must use the Texas SLO Model.
-
Could be a great option for non-tested subjects
Value Added Measure (VAM)
*Must have student's historical testing data available.
-
STAAR and NWEA MAP align with VAM.
-
Requires a statistical analysis of historical data.
