Growth (Tile A4)

• 1. ECRA - How do I perform relative to other students in GPS?
• 2. CT State - State “report card” -

How much growth do I need in order to reach or remain at benchmark within 5 years? Two different frameworks - answer two different questions

CT SDE Growth Achieved Model How much do I need to grow to reach benchmark within 5 years?

3000 miles State Growth Model: How many students travelled 635 miles? -- 70% What was the average # of miles travelled? 380 miles or 60% (APTA) Benchmark

Propensity & Projection of where each child will be in 2018

(Projections are relative to the childs personal history. There is no relationship to Benchmark.)

Key differences: two growth metrics

State

• Sets goal for student
• Based on students prior year SBA
• Must have taken SBA prior year
• Allows benchmarking across state
• Growth goals for grades 4-8 only
• Transparent and public goals

ECRA

• Projects expected performance
• Based on multiple observations of a students

personal history in the prior year

• Must have been with GPS over entire year
• GPS normed, not state.
• All Grades 1-8, 11
• Complex proprietary growth calculation
