How do you demonstrate 'evidence of student growth' across Tasks 1-3?

• A. Show progress indicators from pre/post assessments, performance tasks, and evidence from student work and video, with analysis linking to standards.
• B. Claim growth without data.
• C. Rely only on final grades.
• D. Only personal reflections.

Answer: (B)

Demonstrating student growth across Tasks 1–3 relies on showing a real change in performance over time using diverse, objective data. The strongest approach brings together progress indicators from pre- and post-assessments, performance tasks, and concrete evidence from student work and classroom video, then analyzes how those data reflect growth in relation to the standards. This paints a clear trajectory: where the student started, how instruction moved them, and where they are after instruction, all tied to specific standards. Simply claiming growth without data or relying only on final grades or personal reflections doesn’t provide verifiable evidence of progress. Using multiple data sources and linking them to standards gives a fuller, more accurate picture of growth over time.
