So …. this page has the activities for page 5, plus the table with all the colored text. I haven’t put the little circles around certain numbers in the “colored text table” yet. (JH).

Activity

Lana is a student in Ms. Wu’s second-grade class. Using the provided data, answer each of the questions below and plot Lana’s goal line on the graph.

Lana’s baseline scores on mathematics computation are: 4, 2, 7, 5, 8 What is Lana’s median baseline data point?	Check it
Lana’s 12 week goal is 15. Plot Lana’s baseline.
Using the graph you just created, identify a 6-week goal for Lana (temp — >99).	Check it

Try again!

Determining Goals for Struggling Students

For students whose performance is significantly below grade level, teachers might need to determine an end-of-the-year goal based on the student’s individual ROI rather than using the goals for typically achieving students. They can do this by using the intra-individual framework described below.

Step	Actions	Example
Gather scores	Gather the eight most recent test scores.	Colby’s eight most recent test scores: 9, 12, 14, 11, 15, 14, 12, 15
Determine median test score	Subtract the median of the 1st three test scores from the median of the last three test scores.	9, 12, 14, 11, 15, 14, 12, 15 Median of first three test scores (9, 12, 14) Median of last three test scores (12, 14, 15) 14 – 12 = 2
Find current rate of improvement (ROI)	Determine the number of weeks of instruction by subtracting 1 from the number of test scores. Divide the median test score by the number of weeks of instruction.	number of weeks of instruction: 8 – 1 = 7 2/7= .29 Student’s current ROI =.29
Determine expected ROI	Multiply the student’s current ROI by 1.5 to get the student’s expected ROI. To close the achievement gap, the student needs to make fifty percent more progress than what they are currently making. Therefore, multiply ROI by 1.5.	Student’s current ROI x 1.5 .29 x 1.5=.44 Expected ROI=.44
Determine amount of growth needed	Multiply the expected ROI by the number of weeks remaining in the school year to determine the amount of growth the student needs to reach the end of the school year.	Expected ROI=.44 Number of weeks remaining=28 .44 x 28 = 12 By the end of the school year, Colby’s performance should improve by 12 problems correct.
Calculate baseline score	Calculate the student’s baseline score by finding the mean (average) of the three most recent data points.	Colby’s first 8 data points: 9, 12, 14, 11, 15, 14, 13, 15 (14+12+15)/3= 14
Identify end-of-year goal	Add the student’s baseline score to the amount of growth needed.	baseline score + the amount of growth needed = end-of-year goal 14 + 12 = 26 Colby’s end-of- year goal is 26 problems correct.

Activity

Raymond is also a student in Ms. Wu’s class. Because his mathematics performance is significantly below grade level, she uses the first-grade computation measure to monitor his progress. Ms. Wu is going to use the intra-individual framework to determine Raymond’s end-of-year goal. Help Ms. Wu by calculating the information needed in each step of the intra-individual framework.

To complete this activity, use the following information:

Raymond’s eight most recent test scores: 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6.
Number of weeks left in the school year: 25

Step	Enter your answer	Answer
Median test score	Check it	Subtract the median of the 1st three test scores = 3 Median of the last three test scores = 6 6–3=3
Current rate of improvement	Check it	Divide the median test score by the number of weeks of instruction. 3/7=.43
Expected rate of improvement	Check it	Multiply the student’s current ROI by 1.5 .43 x 1.5= .65 (.645)
Amount of growth needed	Check it	Multiply the expected ROI by the number of weeks remaining in the school year .65 x 25 = 16
Baseline score	Check it	Find the mean (average) of the three most recent data points baseline score = (5+6+6)/3= 6 (5.6)
End-of-year goal	Check it	Add the student’s baseline score to the amount of growth needed. 6 + 16 = 22
