This workshop will inform current users about Renaissance Learning’s Student Growth Percentile (SGP) model and its effectiveness in monitoring student growth to make decisions in the Response to Intervention (RTI) process. Participants will learn how to set goals using SGPs within Renaissance Star Products and how Star Assessments can assist with SLD determination, progress monitoring, and determining rates of improvement. Participants will learn how SGPs aid in setting performance goals for students who need frequent progress monitoring. Problem-solving teams will understand how educators can bridge the gap between data and instruction in identifying teacher and student resources uniquely correlated to individual student skills.
