5. For mastery-based measures, students start
the year needing to master a set of material
(standards) that is new and different than
the year before.
Students start the class not knowing the
content, and should master it by the end of
the year.
9. For growth-based measures, students start
the year working to improve upon
something they’ve already worked on, and
that they’re going to continue working on.
If you are 1st grade teacher you don’t expect a
student to master all of reading in one
year.
11. We measure mastery goals with what is called
an absolute threshold, meaning all students
need to master a certain amount of content
before the end-of year.
We measure growth goals with a pre and
posttest that shows growth over the year.
17. For the subject and students that
you selected, will you measure
Standards Mastery
or
Reading Growth?

Editor's Notes
Say
How do you determine is a numerical outcome represents an ambitious amount of Mastery or Growth?
The two types of measures you will use at Relay are mastery-based and growth-based approaches. Let’s learn what we mean by a mastery-based approach and the growth-based approach.

In the academic world, Growth usually that means that you’re starting the year working to improve upon something you’ve already worked on, and that you’re going to continue working on. Examples of this would be reading and writing. If you are Kindergarten teacher you don’t expect a student to master all of reading in one year. If you middle school writing teacher you wouldn’t expect to be teaching your students writing from scratch, you would assume that students acquired basic writing skills in elementary schools. We measure growth goals with a pre and posttest that shows growth over the year.

To learn more about mastery vs growth based measures let’s talk about non-core teaching placements. We’ve been talking a lot about core classrooms, but many of you may be teaching subjects such as music, art, P.E., drama, etc. and you too can create a solid Academic Pathway!
A standards mastery Pathway is most appropriate when you are teaching your students new, discreet content that can be mastered in one academic year. Say you taught 3rd grade music (beginner recorder). You would likely want your students to be able to master recorder content by the EOY.
A growth Pathway is most appropriate when you are teaching your students content they should improve on over the course of the year, but not necessarily master in one year. Say you taught 2nd grade physical education, you would a want your students to improve their physical fitness.

FAQ
What if I’m an ELA teacher? Should I measure ELA standards mastery or reading growth?
Answer
As a general rule of thumb, reading growth is a more appropriate goal for elementary students. You should yourself, am I reading teacher or am I teaching ELA standards? In addition, growth goals are most appropriate for a class of students who are reading below grade level and standards mastery goals are most appropriate for a class of students who are reading at or above grade level.
