Student Growth Objectives
We created professional learning communities to discuss student targets, formative assessments, differentiation, and quality test creation. These are conversations that were inspired by the SGO process.
In Frontline, non-tenured staff submit two Initial Student Growth Objectives (SGO) for principal review by 10/15. Earlier internal deadlines may be established at the principal’s discretion.
SGOs are long-term academic goals for groups of students set by teachers in consultation with their supervisors and/or building principal.
A highly effective SGO should be:
-
aligned to the curriculum standards
-
grounded in data
-
driven by high expectations for students
For helpful resources when creating highly effective SGOs and Stronge evaluation cycle guidance, please refer to the green buttons listed on the right side of this page.
