SGOs

Two birds, one stone.

**Middle School will meet on 9/18 (CMS) and High School will meet 9/25 (HSN). Please check the calendar regularly.**



We are here to support each other in this process. There is time for teachers to collaborate during 1/2 professional days as well to write and refine this assessment.

Within your cohort of teachers, please bring your assessments (one that you have developed) to our October meetings. We will refine them together so by October 31, you can submit a completed assessment and rubric for your group. We will meet within your cohorts individually to finalize your SGO forms by November 4. Teachers will need to submit their SGO forms to their principals by November 11. 

Our assessments will be administered to the students by the end of March (or beginning of April) so you have time to score the assessments with your group.

When your subject or grade-level team develops the common assessment to be given between Feb 15 and April 1, your 2 SGOs should include 1 on content and 1 on a 21st Century Competency. 


SGO assessments will be designed for the following courses (please see me if you have a concern or request):

Biology (CP level)
HAP
AP Biology
Conceptual Physics
Physics (Regular)
Honors Physics 
Chemistry (CP level)
Honors Chemistry














As we work to develop any common assessment, the task should be aligned toward the right side of this diagram. Our design focus in common assessments should be authentic and rubric-based. It does not have to be a long PBL task, but it should also not consist of only multiple choice questions. Our goal is to assess what our students have mastered and the skills they have acquired. What are the most important concepts and skills your team thinks all students should have under their belt by the end of the 3rd quarter?














Please review the presentation from our department meeting for clarification.
