00:00:00.543 --> 00:00:02.960 align:middle line:84%
When we talk about learning,
I think it's important for us

00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:05.700 align:middle line:84%
to talk about both
growth and proficiency.

00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:10.560 align:middle line:84%
Proficiency measures a moment in
time with a proficiency score.

00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:12.480 align:middle line:84%
The student is going
to be proficient.

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:13.980 align:middle line:84%
Are they going to
be non-proficient?

00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:16.040 align:middle line:84%
But what growth
helps us to do is

00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:19.280 align:middle line:84%
to actually measure how
students are doing day over day.

00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:21.720 align:middle line:84%
It gives more information
to our educators

00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:23.520 align:middle line:84%
to know where a
student is, so they

00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:26.020 align:middle line:84%
can identify what their
next steps need to be.

00:00:26.020 --> 00:00:28.100 align:middle line:84%
They can identify some
goals of that student.

00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:30.520 align:middle line:84%
And so measuring
growth really ensures

00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:33.960 align:middle line:84%
that we are better meeting
the needs of our students.

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:35.680 align:middle line:84%
Growth supports
equity in Highline

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:37.360 align:middle line:84%
because it helps
us determine where

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:39.460 align:middle line:90%
every student is academically.

00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:41.400 align:middle line:84%
And when we know
where students are,

00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:44.300 align:middle line:84%
we can then meet them
at an individual level.

00:00:44.300 --> 00:00:46.543 align:middle line:84%
When we are really living
our value of equity,

00:00:46.543 --> 00:00:47.960 align:middle line:84%
we are ensuring
that every student

00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:50.240 align:middle line:90%
is having their needs met.

00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.400 align:middle line:84%
It's important for students
to see they're learning

00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:54.940 align:middle line:84%
and how they're growing
because it motivates them.

00:00:54.940 --> 00:00:57.700 align:middle line:84%
When a student starts
to experience success,

00:00:57.700 --> 00:00:58.660 align:middle line:90%
it just builds.

00:00:58.660 --> 00:00:59.660 align:middle line:90%
It creates excitement.

00:00:59.660 --> 00:01:00.537 align:middle line:90%
It creates joy.

00:01:00.537 --> 00:01:02.120 align:middle line:84%
The more that we can
help our students

00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:04.875 align:middle line:84%
own their learning, the more
joy they're going to experience.

00:01:04.875 --> 00:01:06.500 align:middle line:84%
The more success
they're going to have,

00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:08.458 align:middle line:84%
and the more they're
going to grow as a learner

00:01:08.458 --> 00:01:10.110 align:middle line:90%
here in our schools.

00:01:10.110 --> 00:01:14.000 align:middle line:90%
