What is AchieveNJ?
• Teach: Help educators better understand their impact
and ultimately improve student outcomes.
• Lead: Align leadership responsibilities with practices
that we know have the greatest influence on learning.
• Grow: Foster an environment of continual growth for
all students and educators in New Jersey.
AchieveNJ is a comprehensive educator evaluation and support system

Our Goal: Improved Student Achievement
• Parents are a child’s first teachers, but teachers and principals have the biggest in-
school impact on student learning.
• Research shows effective teaching can be measured.
• Better educator evaluations will improve teaching and learning so that all teachers
— and students — perform at high levels.

Calculating Student Growth Percentiles
• Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) measure how much a student has learned from one year to the next compared to peers with similar academic history from across the state.
• Growth baseline information is established by a student’s prior learning as measured by all of student’s NJ ASK results.
All students can show growth.

Why Student Growth?
Proficiency does not tell the whole story. Under our current system, a
school or teacher might only notice that Maria is “Proficient” and that
Albert is “Partially Proficient.”

Albert is a 5th Grade student in Ms. Jones’ Math Class.
He has scored “Partially Proficient” in 3rd, 4th, and 5th
grade, but each year his scale score has improved.

he scored a 165 scale

In order to figure out what that growth means, we first identify Albert’s “Academic Peers”; these are students who performed
similarly to Albert in the past.
3rd Gr. 150
4th Gr. 160
3rd Gr. ≈150
4th Gr. ≈160
These “Academic Peers” are represented by students from across the state in many
different school districts.

academic peer group. Albert’s academic peers scored between 130 and 185 on the 5th grade NJ ASK, with the majority of

Ms. Jones would then receive an effectiveness rating by
taking the median SGP score on her roster.
In this scenario, Ms. Jones would receive a rating of 51.

SGP Technical Rules
• She has at least 20 students on her roster;
– If she does not have 20 students in year 1, she may receive
an SGP score if she accrues 20 students with scores over a
period of up to 3 years.
– If Ms. Jones has 15 students, who each receive 2 SGP scores
(ELA and Math), she will not receive a rating in year 1.
• Students are enrolled in class at least 70 percent of the time
before the test; and
• She has worked for at least 60 percent of the time before the
test.
Ms. Jones can only receive a median SGP score if the following is true:

SGP Technical Rules
In future years, Ms. Jones should know that:
• If two or three years of data are
available, the Department will use
the best available score — either the
teacher’s median score of their
current roster or the median of all
student scores over the years
available.

All teachers will set academic goals for their students at the beginning of
each school year – called Student Growth Objectives (SGOs).
TEACHERS
30
All Teachers Set Student Growth Objectives (SGOs)
• SGOs: Annual, specific, and measureable academic goals for
groups of students that are locally developed and assessed
• Creating an SGO:
― Collaborative process between teacher and immediate supervisor
― Principal has final decision
• SGOs can be based on:
― Appropriate national, state or LEA-developed assessments
― Rubric-measured portfolios or performance assessments
Teachers with an SGP score 1 - 2 SGOs
Teachers without an SGP score 2 SGOs
TEACHERS: SG0
Practice SGP SGO Summative
31
Basic Steps for Creating an SGO
In setting SGOs, teachers should take the following steps:
1. Choose or develop a quality measurement tool (examples follow) that is
aligned to applicable standards.
2. Determine students’ starting points based in available data.
3. With supervisor input and approval, set ambitious yet achievable student
learning goals.
4. Track progress and refine instruction accordingly.
5. Review results and discuss score with supervisor.

The SGO Process
Teachers, supervisors meet to discuss and
set SGO w/ principal’s approval
Adjustments to
SGOs can be
made
with approval
*For 2013–14 only. In subsequent years,
SGOs must be set by Oct. 15.
Step 1: Choose or
develop a quality
assessment aligned
to state standards
Step 2: Determine
students’ starting
points
Step 3: Set ambitious
and feasible student
growth objectives
Step 4: Track progress, refine instruction
Step 5: Review results and
score
Teachers, supervisors meet to discuss SGOs and other measures

Summative Rating Timeline Rationale
Teachers in tested grades and subjects in New Jersey will not receive their SGP
scores in time for their summative conference. There are several reasons for this
delay:
1. Full Year Snapshot of Growth: New Jersey does not give the NJASK until May.
2. Emphasis on Writing: The NJASK has more constructed response and long
answer questions than many other states, so the test takes longer to score.
3. Careful Process: Once scores are finalized, there is a careful process for
calculating student and teacher level SGP scores.

Annual summary
conference includes:

measures.
Department collects all other component
measures for teachers with SGP.
NJASK scores released.
Department calculates SGP data
and sends to districts the SGP and
summative rating of each teacher
with an SGP score.
Summative rating added
to personnel file.
• At the summative conference, all available component scores (teacher practice, SGO results)
will be discussed.
• SGP data will be available on the following timeline.

TEACHERS
45
Implications of Ratings
• Teachers rated Ineffective or Partially Ineffective receive support
through Corrective Action Plans
• Once the system is fully implemented, districts will be able to identify
Highly Effective teachers for recognition such as:
– Differentiated observation protocols
– Expanded career pathways and leadership opportunities
– Awards and recognition initiatives

Teachers on Corrective Action Plans
Plan content:
• Clear improvement needs
• Specific goals and timeline
Progress toward goals in plan:
• One extra observation and conference
required mid-year
• Tenured teachers must have multiple
observers
TEACHERS
By February 15: Extra
observation done if CAP was
created at beginning of
school year
May – September: Non-SGP
Teachers, CAP is developed by

reflect on practice with more depth.

more accurate idea of their impact and let them work with
administrators to improve results.
