Progress (Growth) vs. Achievement Goals
{"Image DocumentName": "Progress (Growth) vs. Achievement Goals", "Image ImageDescription": "Students will score X% greater on the. post-test than on the. pre-test. OR. Students will increase. their performance by X. performance level on. the rubric. ACHIEVEMENT. X% of students will. achieve a score of X or. higher. NOTES: Progress goals and achievement goals are different (click to show both columns). ACTIVITY (5 minutes): Use poster paper with two column headings (Progress goals, Achievement goals). Ask participants: what is the difference between progress and achievement goals? Examples might include: achievement is more about mastery; progress is more about the journey there. Progress necessitates knowing where someone started; achievement does not take this into account. Progress often takes into account growth along the way; achievement is more cut and dry. Ask participants: What are the benefits of progress goals? (Take into account challenges, show growth even when students haven\u2019t made a particular cut score, gives time to make changes, show value added by teacher over time) What are disadvantages to measuring progress? (requires more documentation) What are the benefits of achievement goals? (Ensures that all students are receiving a high level of education; what students need to know in order to move to the next level.) What are the disadvantages to achievement goals? (does not give credit for progress, does not provide time to improve) Explain that SMART goals that we\u2019ll develop for Standard 7 will be more like progress goals. They should focus on an increase from pre- to post-test; however, there can be an element defining what percentage of students achieve a set score.
