Student Growth Objectives

Student Growth Objectives are long-term academic goals, informed by data, set by an educator at the beginning of the year for all or a subgroup of students.  Appropriate national, state, or district-developed assessments should be used where available; teachers may also use collaboratively developed assessments, including portfolios. For SY13-14:

  • Teachers of tested grades and subjects will create at least one SGO
    • The New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK) may not be used for SGOs of teachers of tested grades and subjects
  • Teachers of non-tested grades and subjects will create at least two SGOs
