GOALS:

Iowa CORE
Use this for State & District Standards & Benchmarks when writing goals.  Here are my most used:

Reading comprehension:

• IA.1. Employ the full range of research-based comprehension strategies, including making connections, determining importance, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, summarizing, and monitoring for comprehension.

Reading decoding accuracy and fluency rate:

• IA.2. Read on-level text, both silently and orally, at an appropriate rate with accuracy and fluency to support comprehension.

Sentence/paragraph writing:

• W.(6,7,8).4. Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.

Composition Writing:

• W.(6,7,8).5. With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on how well purpose and audience have been addressed.

Math Problem Solving

• 7.NS.A.3: Solve real–world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers.

Iowa Assessment Proficiency
 Below are the Spring proficiency ranges for Scale Score in the Iowa Assessments.  Use these when writing goals to compare student's score to peers (proficiency).
"The standard score scale can be used to monitor proficiency and year-to-year growth of a student
based on time of year."
