Standard 7 - What We Need to Know
What should we know in using studentacademic progress goals in aprincipal’s performance evaluation?
2
Differences Between Teacher and Principal Goals
Based on smaller numbers of students
Focused on individual student growth
Strongly influenced by individual student characteristics
Based on larger populations of students
Focused on percentage of students reaching mastery
Less influenced by individual student characteristics
Highly correlated to school improvement plans
Teacher goals are typically… Principal goals are typically…
3
Baseline Data and Post-Measures
Usually take place in the same year
Use the same group of students
Often take place from one year to the next
May use different groups of students
Used for teachers… Used for principals…

Potential Principal Goal
Why this goal is not practical for principal goal setting: AP courses tend to last a full year.
The current enrollment is 400 students, and 10 percent of that is 40 — but we do not enroll students continuously over the course of a year.
Student populations fluctuate from year to year. It is unlikely that next year we will have exactly 400 students.
The only way to accurately compare student populations that vary by years is to use percentages.
During the current school year, the principal will increase advanced placement class enrollment by 10 percent. Current enrollment is 400 students. The goal is to increase enrollment by 40 students.
5
Better Principal Goal
Because this goal compares percentages rather than actual students, it allows comparison from year to year, regardless of student population numbers in any given year.
During the current school year, the percentage of students enrolled in at least one college-level course (AP or dual enrollment) out of the total eligible student population will increase to 60 percent (approximately a 10 percent increase over last year’s 51 percent).

Suggested Principal Decision Rules for Student Academic Progress Goal
Setting*
Exemplary Proficient Developing/ Needs Improvement
Unacceptable
End results exceed target goal by at least 35% of what is needed to make 100% from the target goal.
End results exceed or meet the goal OR are no lower than 5% below the goal.
End results are lower than target goal by more than 5% BUT are no less than 35% lower than target goal.
End results are more than 35% away from reaching the target goal.
*School divisions may determine their own decision rules for student academic progress goal setting. These decision rules are one suggestion of how attainment of a principal’s student academic progress goals may be determined.

Principal Decision Rules Explained: Exemplary
Eligible Student Population
0% Goal: 60% 74% 100%
During the current school year, the percentage of students enrolled in at least one college-level course (AP or dual enrollment) out of the total eligible student population will increase to 60 percent (approximately a 10 percent increase over last year’s 51 percent).
Distance to 100% = 40%
Exemplary: 74% to 100%
EXEMPLARY: End results exceed target goal by at least 35 percent of what is needed to make 100 percent from the target goal.
Equation[(100 - Goal) x 0.35] + Goal
100% – 60% = 40%40% x 35% = 0.40 x 0.35 = .14 = 14%
14% + 60% = 74%

Principal Decision Rules Explained: Proficient
During the current school year, the percentage of students enrolled in at least one college-level course (AP or dual enrollment) out of the total eligible student population will increase to 60 percent (approximately a 10 percent increase over last year’s 51 percent).
PROFICIENT: End results exceed or meet the goal OR are no lower than 5 percent below the goal AND end results are less than 35 percent of what is needed to make 35 percent from the target goal.
Eligible Student Population
0% Goal: 60% 74% 100%
Exemplary:74% to 100%
Proficient:57% to 73.99%
Equation[Goal – (Goal x 0.05)]
60% x 5% = 0.60 x 0.05 = 0.03 = 3%
60% - 3% = 57%

Principal Decision Rules Explained: Developing/Needs Improvement
During the current school year, the percentage of students enrolled in at least one college-level course (AP or dual enrollment) out of the total eligible student population will increase to 60 percent (approximately a 10 percent increase over last year’s 51 percent).
DEVELOPING/NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: End results are lower than target goal by more than 5 percent BUT are no less than 35 percent lower than target goal.
Eligible Student Population
0% Goal: 60% 74% 100%
35% of 60%
Exemplary:74% to 100%
Proficient:57% to 73.99%
Developing/ Needs
Improvement39% to 56.99%
Equation
[Goal - (Goal x 0.35)]
60% x 35% = 0.60 x 0.35 = .21 = 21%
60% - 21% = 39%

Principal Decision Rules Explained: Unacceptable
During the current school year, the percentage of students enrolled in at least one college-level course (AP or dual enrollment) out of the total eligible student population will increase to 60 percent (approximately a 10 percent increase over last year’s 51 percent).
Unacceptable: End results are more than 35 percent away from reaching the target goal.

Goal-Setting Decision Rule Recommendations
Must be used with percentages: does not work for individual students (unless first converted into percentages)
26
Goal-Setting Decision Rule Recommendations
Goals set with a low percentage of progress needed for goal attainment and applied to a large number of students make it difficult to meet “Exemplary”
Suggestion: lower the number of students by disaggregating data and focusing on a subgroup with specific characteristics
