How Personal Growth is Measured (Using an Example)
The green line represents the expected growth of a student meeting benchmark from the beginning to the end of the year.
The empty circles represent the student's assessment scores. Most districts assess students 3 times a year.
The solid gray dots represent the student's frequent practice all through the school year.
Regardless of student's performance against benchmark, growth is reported based on the student's personal goal.

Maximize Your Students' Growth
Case 1: Low Growth + Little Practice
If you see only a few practice score dots (solid gray circles) between BOY and MOY, the student isn't practicing enough time on the platform.
What Teachers Need to Do: Make sure students have enough practice on My Tasks.
Case 2: Low Growth + Lots of Practice
If you see many practice score dots but scores still aren't rising, the student is putting in the time but not making progress.
What Teachers Need to Do: Meet with students who need extra support and teach mini lessons. They might need First Steps, Phonics and/or Reading.
Currently, the Growth Report reflects Reading: Literature and Reading: Informational. Growth reports for Phonics and First Steps are not available at this time.
