We partnered with Amplify Ambassador Allie Appel to create these goal-setting bookmarks! Allie works with her students to set goals, then checks in on their progress and places a sticker or star in the box below a goal once they’ve completed it. Once one goal is met, the students set another!

💬 Advice and answers
|
|
|
How can I find the Zones of Growth goals for my students?
Zones of Growth goals measure progress relative to other students in the same grade with the same level of initial reading skills. In this report, you can see what type of growth students need to achieve by the next benchmark period to be on track to reach the end-of-year goal. You can find Zones of Growth on the Goal Setting tab on the Progress Monitoring page in mCLASS.
If you are an mCLASS Lectura user, you may refer to the Aimline in mCLASS Lectura progress reports to see how students are progressing toward end-of-year goals, as the Zones of Growth feature isn’t currently available.

What does the Growth Outcomes report show?
The Growth Outcomes report shows what level of growth students achieved and how that level compares to their goal. Use this report to help guide your middle-of-year instruction and planning.
