Measuring student achievement across time using the same students

Why focus on student growth?

A growth model will allow educators to move beyond status-based questions to ask critical growth-related questions.

Status

•What percentage of students met the state standard?

•Did more students meet the state standard this year compared to last year?

Growth

•Did this student grow more or less than academically-similar students?

•Are students growing as much in math as in reading?

•Are students on track to reach or exceed proficiency?

The purpose of the Georgia Student Assessment Program is to measure student achievement of the state-adopted content standards and inform efforts to improve teaching and learning. Results of the assessment program are utilized to identify students failing to achieve​​ mastery of content, to provide teachers with feedback about instructional practice, and to assist school districts in identifying strengths and weaknesses in order to establish priorities in planning educational programs.

Progress Benchmarking: The first administration of InSight provides baseline performance

measures and a projected growth path. Mid-term and end-of-term administrations can be

used to benchmark and document changes in reading comprehension and vocabulary levels,

comprehension-based silent reading rate, and reading motivations.

reading motivation. Once early foundational skills have been established, an optimal approach to fostering reading proficiency is to address these four components in an integrated fashion so that they develop in concert.

i-Ready is an online program for mathematics that will help your student’s teacher(s) determine your student’s needs, personalize their learning, and monitor progress throughout the school year. i-Ready allows your teacher(s) to meet your student exactly where they are and provides data to increase your student’s learning gains.

i-Ready consists of two parts: Diagnostic and Personalized Instruction.

Diagnostic and Personalized Instruction.

The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions to suit your student’s needs. Each item a student sees is individualized based on their answer to the previous question. For example, a series of correct answers will result in slightly harder questions, while a series of incorrect answers will yield slightly easier questions.

Personalized Instruction

The i-Ready Personalized Instruction provides students with lessons based on their individual skill level and needs, so your student can learn at a pace that is just right for them. These lessons are fun and interactive to keep your student engaged as they learn.
