14. Is a teacher who only has 11th grade students in English in Trimester 1 expected to establish similar expectations for growth on OAKS as another teacher who has students in English for both Trimester 1 and Trimester 2?

A: Specific student growth (i.e raw percentage) should be based on baseline data, not on the number of trimesters.  Teachers who teach one trimester versus two should shape their goals based on their students and their needs.
