Student Learning Target
Grade:
6th
Subject:
Mathematics
Interval of Instruction:
Full Year
1. WHAT SHOULD STUDENTS KNOW AND BE ABLE TO DO? HOW WILL I MEASURE SUCCESS?
 What content will I prioritize?
o What standards are most tied to success?
o What prior knowledge will they need to be successful?
 What assessment will provide the best evidence of my students’ mastery of the priority content at the end of
the year?
o Will this assessment method enable me to determine how students are progressing throughout the
year?
Priority Content:
Ratios and Proportional Relationships: Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.*
The Number System: 1) Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions. 2) Multiply and divide multi-digit
numbers and find common factors and multiples. 3) Apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers.*
Expressions and Equations: 1) Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions. 2) Reason about and solve one-variable equations
and inequalities. 3) Represent and analyze quantitative relationships between dependent and independent variables.*
Geometry: Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume.
Statistics and Probability: 1) Develop understanding of statistical variability. 2) Summarize and describe distributions.*
*Denotes Priority Content Standards as per CCSSM/LDOE which reflects 65% of instruction.

End-of-Year Assessment Method and Name:
I am using a 6th grade district benchmark assessment. This assessment includes 45 items that will determine student mastery of
6.RP.1-3, 6.NS.1-8, 6.EE.1-9, 6.G.1-4, and 6.SP.1-5. These tasks are aligned to the assessment items types of the 2014-2014 PARCC
Assessment Guide and assess students’ mastery of Priority Content. Student responses will be scored electronically.
2. WHAT DO STUDENTS KNOW AND WHAT ARE THEY ABLE TO DO NOW?
 What knowledge/skills are related to success with this year’s priority content?
 What data sources and background information are available?
 What diagnostic assessment resources are available?
 What can I conclude [insert hyperlink to support docs] about students’ mastery of prior knowledge and skills?
 Based on the data, what can I conclude about students’ readiness?
I reviewed the 2013-14 6th grade iLEAP results of my 25 students and calculated the average percent correct for each of the 5
reporting categories: 64% Operations and Algebra Thinking, 55% Number and Operations in Base Ten, 45% Number and
Operation—Fractions, 60% Measurement and Data, and 63% Geometry.
I then reviewed the 6th grade District Benchmark Test 1 to determine 6th grade math readiness assessment. This assessment
includes 49 multiple choice items that assess student mastery of necessary skills that are aligned to the 6 th grade PARCC evidence
tables. I administered the assessment in 2 session on separate days. A summary of student performance on this assessment is
provided in the chart below.

6th Grade Standards
Based on these results, I can conclude:
1)
All student will need targeted practice with prerequisite skills in the major clusters of Number Systems, Expressions and
Equations, and Statistics and Probability in order to achieve success in 6 th grade math.
2)
5 students scored in the 0-50% correct range in 3/5 of the categories and will need additional support.
3. IS THERE A GROUP OF STUDENTS ON WHICH I SHOULD FOCUS THIS LEARNING TARGET?
 Have I set learning targets for all of my students?
 Which subgroups in my school population need additional support to achieve success?
 Which students will need additional support to achieve success?
All students will require targeted remedial support in order to be successful with current grade level standards. Therefore, all of my
students (25) are the focus of this SLT. Five students have been identified as needing additional individualized support in order to
be successful.
STUDENT LEARNING TARGET:
 What level of performance on the end-of-year assessment from Step 1 do I expect the identified student
population to achieve?
64 % of students will score Basic or above on the district benchmark test.
SCORING PLAN:
 How will you measure your students’ success?
 Based on students’ baseline data, what is the minimum level of performance I expect from the identified
students?
 Based on students’ baseline data, how many students can reasonably be expected to meet or exceed the
expected level of performance?
Insufficient Attainment of Target
(1 point):
The teacher has demonstrated an
insufficient impact on student
learning by falling far short of the
target.
Partial Attainment of Target
(2 points):
The teacher has demonstrated
some impact on student learning,
but did not meet the target.
Full Attainment of Target
(3 points):
The teacher has demonstrated a
considerable impact on student
learning by meeting the target.
Exceptional Attainment of Target
(4 points):
The teacher has demonstrated an
outstanding impact on student
learning by surpassing the target
by a meaningful margin.

4. HOW WILL I MONITOR PROGRESS?


When will I monitor students’ developing mastery of the priority content?
What curricular resources and assessment methods will I use to determine students’ mastery of the priority
content on an on-going basis?
o Are these assessment methods aligned with the end-of-year assessment identified in Step 1?
Ongoing
As I plan, instruct, and assess throughout the year, I will:
1) Use the 6th grade Remediation Guide to determine student readiness for the grade level content standards.
2) Assess mastery of the major content for 6th using Instructional and Extended Constructed Response Tasks located in the 6 th
Grade Math Guidebook and other teacher developed tasks.
3) Administer mid and end of unit assessment that include tasks aligned to the appropriate unit standards.

4)
Administer 3 checkpoint assessments to determine mastery of 6.RP.1-3, 6.NS.1-8, 6.EE.1-9, 6.G.1-4, and 6.SP.1-5 (those
taught at the time of each checkpoint assessment).
Checkpoint 1
I will assess student progress in October
using a common assessment developed
by the 6th grade team.
Checkpoint 2
I will assess student progress in December
using a common assessment developed
by the 6th grade team.
Checkpoint 3
I will assess student progress in February
using a common assessment developed
by the 6th grade team.
