students• The work of the teacher results

in acceptable, measurable progress for students based on established performance expectations using appropriate data to demonstrate growth

Benefits and Considerations for Teacher Use Understand academic

preparedness of students Monitor student progress, ensure

growth Modify curriculum, student

support, and instructional strategies

Underlying Philosophy

All students deserve to make appropriate academic progress every year

No “one size fits all” way to educate different levels of academic achievement

Instructional adjustments should be based on academic attainment, not on socioeconomic factors.

Reliability of past effectiveness information offers opportunities to make appropriate adjustments to improve student opportunities

What teachers know and can do is the most important influence on what students learn

One of the most important things educators can know is who they are effective with and who they are not

Achievement Progress

Proficiency• Influenced by

demographic factors

• Largely focuses on groups of students

Growth• Dependent upon

impact of instruction

• Largely focuses on individual students
