FAQs:▪ What are expected growth and optimal growth targets?
▪ What percentage of students normally make typical growth?▪ 29-39 : before we had access to MAP data▪ 40-59 : beginning use ▪ 60-100 : proficient use of data class/student goal setting, strong instructional strategies, differentiation, personalization, student ownership and engagement)FAQs:
FAQs:▪ Why do some students’ scores go down and what can we do about it?
Why Scores Drop…▪ NWEA reports the following:▪ The student took too little time on the second test ▪ The student was not engaged during the test▪ The student received little or no instruction in the appropriate RIT range since the previous assessment
Why Scores Drop▪ We’ve Noticed:▪ It’s important to look at the goal areas for each student. For example, when our students grew dramatically in Interpretive Comp skills, they often fell in Literal Comp skills.▪ Students sometimes become focused on learning more in one area and need support to integrate the new skills across the subject area▪ We sometimes overemphasize areas when we notice unique needs. (Interpretive Comp, Response to Literature)▪ New textbooks may have areas of weakness and we need to find support materials to balance them▪ Students may need support to take the risks necessary to promote growth
