Table: Clearview - Measuring Growth using the Student Growth Percentile (SGP) in 2018-2019 School Year
A student growth percentile (SGP) describes a student's growth compared to other students with similar prior test scores (their academic peers). Although the calculations for SGPs are complex, percentiles are a familiar method of measuring students in comparison to their peers. Grade 1

Clearview Teachers continued their learning journey with the Scholastic Resources. In the upcoming slides we will be looking at the Professional Learning and Coaching Series that was offered to Clearview Teachers this school year.
By offering Professional Learning opportunities to our literacy staff we not only build the capacity of the staff members who engage in such activities but we continue to strive for excellence when we plan for and engage our students in meaningful daily activities. Several learning
year through the Clearview Professional Learning and Coaching Series.

All programs are based on a comprehensive approach to reading and writing, using the gradual release model, and recognizes the need to be flexible and resourceful in meeting the diverse needs of students.

Clearview Literacy Coaching
Overview and Implementation Plan
Implementation Structure Off-site professional learning will be provided for grade level groups. Each professional learning date will focus on providing teachers with takeaways to practice in their classroom, with a reflection component for their learning. These professional learning opportunities will be followed by in-school coaching visits. This is an iterative process of professional learning, implementing a takeaway, coaching on the takeaway, followed by the next session of professional learning. Each participant in the professional learning series will teach a lesson focused on a learning from the series while the coach observes followed by a debrief with the coach. At minimum, the observation will be 30 minutes with a 30 minute debrief. This may vary slightly depending on the number of teachers engaging in the professional learning series from a particular school. Literacy Coaching
