My Classroom AYP: Proficiency by Subgroup

Change our Focus to GrowthWHY?

• Looking at proficiency, it was hard to see a problem

• Focusing on growth will produce proficiency but focusing on proficiency will not necessarily produce growth

• We don’t want to reach for a specific bar, but rather have ALL KIDS continue to show growth regardless of where they started
