This method of calculating student growth is used when there are previous years data using the same template.
1. Determine the Target term of data
2. Calculate the 5 groupings based on historic pretest scores (exclude the target term).
3. Add the 5 records to the template’s “Growth Requirement” table.
4. Run the SQL statement to assign pretest groupings to each student’s record in the Tagret Term. UPDATE s_slo SET SloSsgID = calcSloBandID(SloID, SloSlaID, SloNtmID) WHERE SloSlaID = 61 AND SloNtmID = 38;
5. Calculuate the average growth for each Target Term quintile: SELECT SloSsgID, ROUND(AVG(SLOGrowth),1) FROM (SELECT SloSsgID, (SloPostTestScore - SloPreTestScore) AS 'SLOGrowth' FROM s_slo WHERE SloSlaID = 61 AND SloNtmID = 38) AS SLOGrowths GROUP BY SloSsgID;
6. Update the SLO Template with the quintile growth requirements.
