Purpose
This tool illustrates the trajectory of a student who meets his or her annual growth expectation as outlined in Connecticut’s LAS Links Growth Model . It answers questions like: “If a student earns a Grade 2 LAS Links Oral score of 443 and meets all growth targets in future years, how will the student’s Oral achievement change in future grades?”.
Select a subject, a starting grade, enter a valid scale score, choose a multiplier (expected % of target achieved), then select Calculate.
Inputs
Results
The student is achieving in the Proficient or Above range. There is not a numeric growth target for students who are achieving at these levels. The growth expectation is that the student continue to achieve in the Proficient or Above range in the next grade.
LAS Links Growth Trajectory chart
Stacked bars show achievement level thresholds per grade. A maroon line with dots shows the student’s trajectory based on the starting score and multiplier.
