School assessment securely? sites may choose to have an extended time for a group-writing period or for students who have not completed, those students may complete the writing sample the next day. The classroom teacher will store all samples and students will not take the assessments home to complete.

DOK Level In order to ensure rigor, use a minimum DOK Level of 2 Level 3 Strategic Level 4 Extended Level 1 Recall Level 2 Skill Concept Thinking Thinking Growth Target(s) What is your growth target for On the assessment described above, all students covered by this SLO will your students? (Choose 1 of 5 increase their score by … methods below) 1-Individual Growth Targets Each student has an individual target based on individual baseline academic performance and other background information. 2-Minimum Rigor Target All students have a minimum rigor target for what would reflect the “Meets” level of performance. (Example: All my students will score 70 of 100 on the post assessment) 3-Basic Growth Target All students have the same growth target. (Example: All of my students will grow by 30 points by the end of the instructional period. 4-Banded/Range-based/Tiered Group students together based on their pre-assessment scores.

5-Half to 100/Close the Gap Growth targets are determined by a common formula. (growth = 100-pretest) 2 How did you arrive at the growth targets for your students? On the SLO class roster, identify each student’s growth target score. • List all students in SLO • Use group preparedness levels if appropriate • Make as many copies as needed • Students must be in attendance for 80% of instructional days (this does not count school related absences Students Growth Preparedness level if Pre- Target Post- Target (Met/Not Attendance Target used Assessment Assessment Met) Threshold (Met/Not (pg. 2) (High, Medium, Low) Met) 1
