Growth Targets
Choose One: Tiered, Individual, Targeted
INDIVIDUAL
Growth Target Rationale: I chose individual targets as my growth target. By choosing this method, I
will be able to provide differentiation in learning to each student to focus on their specific needs. Each
student is responsible for their own learning, and each student learns in a different way. Our mission
at Crosswell Elementary is to “Challenge EACH student to utilize their mind by achieving individual
goals to ensure success in and beyond the classroom.” I want to ensure that I am challenging and
teaching my students to go above and beyond their individual goals.
NOTE: Student Teachers and Teacher Residents should work closely with their cooperating/mentor
teacher to create a unique SLO. The SLO Template must be submitted to Chalk & Wire/Anthology twice.
The university supervisor (US) will score the initial SLO Template using the Preliminary Conference
Rubric at the beginning of the semester. Initial SLO Template submissions should include sections I-III,
not section IV. Final SLO submissions, submitted at the end of the semester, should include revisions to
the SLO Template, an analysis of students’ post-assessment data, and a reflection on the SLO process
(Section IV).
2. Baseline Data/Pre-Assessment:
A 10-question Mastery Connect assessment was used for a pre-assessment. This assessment is
appropriate for measuring the objective because this pretest was created based on the standard,
and formulated questions were used for this assessment. Some students had some knowledge of
angles through specific DreamBox and IXL lessons and spiral instruction, but not to the extent we
want them to be at by the end of the year.
ASSESSMENT:
PRE-ASSESSMENT RESULTS:
Assessment data can be derived from SC Ready Scores and the Mastery Connect pretest (SLO
Math Pretest). Nine students scored Met or Exceeds on SC Ready in Math. Seven students
scored Approaches or Does Not Meet Expectations on SC Ready in Math. On the Mastery
Connect pretest, ten students scored Not Met, eight students scored Approaching, and one
student scored Met.
Growth Targets: What evidence of growth will tell me that a student has met this learning
objective?
The comparison of the pre-test and summative Mastery Connect post test will show evidence of
growth. Assigned Dreambox lessons and IXL lessons will also be used as formative assessment
data to show growth in this standard. Teacher observations and daily work can also be used as
Progress Monitoring:
I will monitor students’ progress towards meeting this learning goal by pulling small groups each
day. I will also use Mastery Connect questions from this standard with a DOK 2 or higher as quick,
formative assessments to ensure my students are progressing. I will observe students during
whole group and small group lessons. Small groups will be based on each student’s ability level.
It’s also important to be flexible and continue with a positive manner if students aren’t
progressing at the rate I want them to.
2. Which SCTS 4.0 Rubric Indicator(s) is most connected to this instructional practice? Select indicator
from the drop-down list: Student Work
3. Student success is deeply connected to the learning environment. Which inclusive learning practice
is most connected to your planning for a positive learning environment? Select from the drop-
down list: Designing for Rigor
4. When you think about this group of students and this content, in what ways will these
strategies help you intentionally create a positive classroom community that helps all students
take risks and grow as independent learners?
As a teacher, it is so important for students to reach their potential, and possibly go above and
beyond what they think their potential is. It is also important to teach students to have a growth
mindset. I teach my students that mistakes are applauded in our classroom because it is proof
that you are trying. It is also okay to take risks and fail because you are at least trying. I expect a
lot out of my students because I know they can do a lot, and they are capable of going above and
beyond expectations.
IV. End of Year Reflection
This conference and reflection may be incorporated into student teachers’ and year-long residents’
Final Evaluation Conference.
1. Post-Assessment: Indicate what assessment will be used as a post assessment and how it aligned
to the baseline assessment. Include a copy of the post-assessment, the rubric, and an analysis of
students’ test data.

met expectations on Mastery Connect. *
2. How did you monitor students’ mastery of the learning objective? How has your instructional
practice impacted students so far?
I monitored my students’ mastery of the learning objective through pulling small groups, observation
during small group and whole group lessons, and exit tickets. When teaching new content, I start off
by teaching the topic as a whole group lesson. Based on observations during whole group, I create
small groups for the rest of the week to focus on individual needs/goals for students. While I am
pulling small groups, other students are working on classwork based on the objective/standard for the
day. I believe that it is important and necessary to pull small groups and provide differentiated
instruction so I can have a better understanding of each student’s academic needs. Also, quieter
students tend to participate more actively in small group lessons rather than whole group lessons.
4. How did the data inform you instructional practice and goal setting?
Data guided my instructional practice and goal setting by providing necessary information to
differentiate my small group instruction. I also used background knowledge of my students and their
specific academic needs and learning styles to guide my instruction. Based on data information (G.T,
Resource, ESOL, etc.), I created goals that would be a challenge for my students. However, I have high
expectations for all of my students, so I know my students could attain their personal goals.
