  1. SLO Student Learning Objectives NYS District-WideGrowth Goal Setting Process December 1, 2011 EVOLVING

  2. What are SLOs? • A SLO is an academic goal for students set at the start of the course • Represents the most important learning of the year (course). • Based on available prior student learning data. • Specific and measurable. • Aligned to CCLS and NYS Learning Standards

  3. SLO: Two Applications • REQUIRED: Growth when there is no state growth score • All teachers other than 4-8 ELA and mathematics • OPTIONAL: Locally selected measures of student achievement (encouraged)

  4. SLOs… • ARE NOT: • The same as district goals • The same as data-driven instruction • Not an opportunity for free choice amongst a teacher’s favorite unit tests • Easy • BUT • Are informed by district goals and priorities • Reinforce DDI • Require the use of evidence robust enough to match the scope of the content • If set with rigor can contribute to higher student achievement

  5. Coverage • If less than 50% growth State-provided Growth Measure (including none) • If any course has a NYS growth measure, at least 1 SLO must use it • SLOs must cover the courses taught with the most students, combining until at least a majority of students covered • If any of the largest courses have a State (non-growth) assessments, it must be used

  6. Components • Student population • Learning Content • Time Interval • Evidence/Student Work • Baseline • Target • HEDI point determination • Rationale for choosing this target

  7. SLO Student Learning Objectives Decision Process

  8. State • Determines SLO process • Identifies required elements • Requires use of State test • Provides training to NTs prior to 2012-13. • Provides guidance, webinars & videos SLOs

  9. State • Determines SLO process • Identifies required elements • Requires use of State test • Provides training to NTs prior to 2012-13. • Provides guidance, webinars & videos • District • District goals & priorities • Match requirements to teachers • Define processes for before & after • Identify expectations SLOs

  10. State • Determines SLO process • Identifies required elements • Requires use of State test • Provides training to NTs prior to 2012-13. • Provides guidance, webinars & videos • District • District goals & priorities • Match requirements to teachers • Define processes for before & after • Identify expectations • School • LE & teacher collaborate • LE approval • Ensure security • LE monitor and evaluation SLOs

  11. State • Determines SLO process • Identifies required elements • Requires use of State test • Provides training to NTs prior to 2012-13. • Provides guidance, webinars & videos • District • District goals & priorities • Match requirements to teachers • Define processes for before & after • Identify expectations • School • LE & teacher collaborate • LE approval • Ensure security • LE monitor and evaluation • Teacher • Works with colleagues & LE SLOs

  12. SLO Student Learning Objectives Grade by Grade

  13. K-2 Teachers • Might someday have a State-provided growth measure • In the meantime • SLO for ELA (literacy and writing) • SLO for math • Unless teacher focuses on a single subject area

  14. Grade 3 Teachers • Might someday have a State-provided growth measure • In the meantime • SLO for ELA (literacy and writing) • SLO for math • Must use state assessment • Unless teacher focuses on a single subject area

  15. 4-8 ELA & Math Teachers • Has a State-provided growth measure • In the meantime • SLOs not applicable

  16. 4-8 Science & SS Teachers • Will likely have a State-provided growth measure in the future • In the meantime • SLO for each subject/assessment • SLO must cover classes with the largest numbers of students until majority covered • 4 & 8 science use State assessment • Others must choose 3rd Party test from list

  17. To clarify: • Must use a State-approved 3rd party assessment • 6-7 science • 6-8 social studies • 9-12 ELA, math, science & SS w/o Regents • Must use State assessment • 4 & 8 science • Course w/ Regents NOT CLEAR

  18. 4-8 Other Subject Teachers • Will not have a State growth measure • Therefore, • SLO for each subject/assessment • SLO must cover classes with the largest numbers of students until majority covered

  19. 9-12 Regents Teachers • Some will have a State-provided growth measure in the future as available • In the meantime • SLO for each subject/assessment • SLO must cover classes with the largest numbers of students until majority covered • Use Regents exam

  20. 9-12 Other “Core” Teachers • Some will have a State-provided growth measure in the future as available • In the meantime • SLO for each subject/assessment • SLO must cover classes with the largest numbers of students until majority covered

  21. 9-12 Other Teachers • Will not have a State growth measure • Therefore, • SLO for each subject/assessment • SLO must cover classes with the largest numbers of students until majority covered

  22. Self-Contained Teachers • Will use State-provided growth if more than 50% of students are covered by growth measure • If <50% growth, • SLO for ELA (literacy and writing) • SLO for math • Unless teacher focuses on a single subject area • Use State assessment if available

  23. Co-Teachers • As applicable and possible, NYSED will track multiple teachers of record • Common Branch • SLO for ELA (literacy and writing) • SLO for math • Other subjects • Set SLO for relevant area (use State assessment if available)

  24. Push-In, Pull-Out Teachers • As applicable and possible, NYSED will track multiple teachers of record with dosage • If no State-provided measure • SLO for subject area focus • Or use group/team measure on State assessment • Or collaborate with classroom teacher

  25. NYSESLAT Teachers • Use growth measures if 50% or more students in teachers load take State ELA assessment (or NYSED might have growth measures in future) • If this is the ELA teacher and with 10 or more students, SLO with NYSESLAT as evidence • Or • Teacher is ESL specialist and NYSESLAT is most appropriate, use for SLO

  26. NYSAA Teachers • Use growth measures if 50% or more students in teachers load take State assessments • IF SLO requires subject/grade, • SLO using NYSAA performance assessment as evidence • Additional SLOs for other subject areas taught

  27. All Teachers • SLOs an option (or use school-wide) • Same SLO ingredients are required • District must set targets in advance of administration (HEDI points) • Ineffective (0-2 points) • Developing (3-11 points) • Effective (12-17 points) • Highly Effective (18-20 points) • Districts may align growth and local achievement

  28. Lead Evaluator Role • As defined by district, works with teachers on the setting of the SLOs • Monitors, assesses • Awards points within bands defined in the SLO
