SAMPLE STUDENT LEARNING GOAL – ELABORATION OF EVIDENCE

Grade Level: Elementary Middle School High School

SLG GOAL 1
Content Standards/Skills / 6.RL.1 & 6.RI.1 – Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
Assessments / Data Source / Category 2 – Writing Sample using SBAC “Elaboration of Evidence” Rubric
Context/Students / I teach 65 total 6th graders. This is a year-long Language Arts class which involves reading, writing, speaking, and listening. 12 of my students have an IEP. 6 of the students are ELLs. 8 of my students are TAG. This student group includes 29 boys and 36 girls.
In 2013-14, these students scored as follows on OAKS Reading:
5 – Does Not Meet
9 – Nearly Meets
26 – Meets
24 – Exceeds
While the OAKS results will not be used as baseline data, it is informative in general strengths/opportunities.
Baseline Data / All 65 students were assigned a writing prompt pre-assessment, which was scored using the SBAC “Elaboration of Evidence” rubric.
Pre-Assess Score / # of Students / Students Names
1 / 63 / Students 1 thru 63
2 / 2 / Student 64, Student 65
3 / 0 / -
4 / 0 / -
Student Growth Goal (Targets) / Goal Statement / By May 1st, 2015, 100% of students will demonstrate growth on the SBAC writing attribute of “Elaboration of Evidence” as evidence by an increase in rubric score on a writing sample. Growth is tiered as follows:
