Case: Student Growth Percentiles
With teachers being evaluated on student growth now, it is common to hear teachers and administrators claim that having a lower achieving class is to a teacher's benefit because these students are able to show more growth. However, when the students have learning disabilities, processing deficits, and other health impairments, is it still fair to say that these teacher have an advantage. I am concerned about having the inclusion class this year because of the student growth percentiles measuring these students described above on completely different content year to year does not appear to be advantageous. What measures should be taken to ensure that these students will grow across grade levels with differing content? I teach in a district that does not administer benchmarks and in a grade level that does not assess with SLOs. My student growth percentiles will be measured solely on performance on the 3rd grade GA Milestones compared to 4th grade GA Milestones.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In order to be certain your students will see growth you need to be monitoring it during the year, not just with the Milestones at the end of the year. Just because your school or grade doesn't have anything in place to monitor it doesn't mean it isn't possible to monitor. You need to assess the students that you feel have the largest deficits to see where their specific deficits are. Then create probes to address the specific deficits. When using the probes, if you see progress, great, if not, dig deeper to see if there are any other deficits that are keeping them from progressing. |

Comments: My professor also states that as the teacher we should test throughout the year to see if students are progressing a nd not wait till the end of year milestones. |

Comments: I agree with everything that was said. Make sure to find a way to monitor because it is very important. Also, really know your students. So if the student is having more issues than others and not understanding what to do and they are not showing growth, then make sure to figure out why. The more you care as a teacher, the more the students will care. |

Comments: This is a great solution, try to measure as much as you can even though it's not required. This way you will know what to focus on and which students need the most attention. |
