The Rhode Island Growth Model (RIGM) is a statistical model that provides a new way of looking at
student achievement:
The RIGM enables us to look at growth in addition to proficiency to get a fuller
picture of student achievement.
Using this model, we can calculate students’ progress relative to their academic
peers on the NECAP Math and Reading tests. Academic peers are students who have
scored similarly on the NECAP in the past. The RIGM provides students, parents,
teachers, districts, and the state with another piece of data that contributes
to a fuller, more descriptive picture of student achievement.
Growth model data is not currently available. We expect to be able to report
district and school level data by Spring 2012.

Student Achievement or Student Growth is one of the
components of an educator's
evaluation. To ensure that Student Growth is attributed to the relevant
educator(s), it is important to make accurate
and clear Teacher-Course-Student, (TCS) connections.
To that end, RIDE has developed a guide to establishing
teacher course student connections. Districts can use this document for developing
policies and practices for identifying Contributing Educators.
