Hello Everyone,
This blog post provides further clarification on teacher goals. Teachers are not required to revise the goals that have already been submitted.

Any other stated growth goals that remain are for informational purposes only for the 14-15 school year.
Student Growth Data (25%). The administrator and teacher will meet to determine growth measures that follow the weighted formula listed below. All teachers will have the following student growth goal: All students must show growth or maintain proficiency based on growth measures that are used for the evaluation. It is understood that this does not mean that every student will necessarily be on grade level as we measure growth vs. achievement data. For the NWEA if they maintain or exceed their RIT status for their grade level norm, that is considered growth.
