TPGES/OPGES- Planning for Student Growth Goals
Where do we start?
KDE TPGES Website- http://education.ky.gov/teachers/PGES/TPGES/Pages/TPGES-Student-Growth-Page.aspx
Step 1: Identifying Enduring Skill/Concept/Process:
These are the standards you teach that go across content(s) and endure for the course of a year or more.
- Refer to Gheens Curriculum Maps -http://www.jefferson.k12.ky.us/departments/gheens/Index.html
- “Enduring Understandings” are in colored boxes. There are several for each cycle. Identify the most critical area grade-wide that you will teach more intentionally for your 2014-2015 students over the next cycle.
Step 2: Assessing Enduring Skill/Concept/Process and Establishing a Baseline:
- What is your baseline data?
- What is your grade-wide goal?
- How will you assess to reach that goal?
Step 3: The Student Growth Goal Process
- What resources and supports will you use to integrate the enduring skills/concepts/processes with your students? (The resources used to track student growth must be research-based materials).
Example of Team DIPP (Deep Implementation Planning Process)
(We will create these in grade level collaborative team meetings with our PLCs and update with data throughout each of the assessment cycles with formative and summative assessment results).
Goal Setting: What is the distance from the goal? What is the desired outcome? PRIORITIZE
Subject Area: Math
Enduring Understanding:
- Mathematical operations are used in solving problems in which a new value is produced from one or more values (O.A)
- Understanding place value can lead to number sense and efficient strategies for computing with numbers (NBT)
Baseline %: 31.8% P and D on MDA #1
Goal %: 40% for MPA #1
Distance from Goal %: 8.2%
