  2. SLO Phase1: Review Data SLO Phase 2: Set goals for student learning SLO Phase 3: Monitor students progress SLO Phase 4: Assess student outcomes relative to goals SLO Process 2

  3. SLO Phase I: Review the Data Sources of Data: • For students in grades 4-9 & 11, prior year(s) CMT/CAPT performance; • Results from screenings, diagnostics, pre-tests, placement exams, benchmarks, curriculum based measures, or student work portfolios; • Information from prior years’ teachers, including artifacts from data teams; and • Consideration of student-level characteristics that may impact achievement, such as ELL or Special Education status. 3

  4. SLO Phase II: Step 1- Decide on the SLO Student Learning Objectives (SLOs): • Are broad statements about student learning and expected student improvement • Represent the knowledge and skills the teacher wants students to demonstrate as a result of instruction; • Address the central purpose of the teacher’s assignment*; • Take into account baseline data on student performance*; • Pertain to a large proportion of teacher’s students*; • Reflect content mastery or skill development*; and • Reflect attainable but ambitious goals for student learning*. * Indicates criteria that are used in the SLO approval process. 4

  5. SLO Phase II: Step 1- Decide on the SLO Best Practices for (SLOs): • Aligned to standards; • Aligned to state/district/school improvement goals; • Aligned to data team goals; and • Reflect high expectations for student learning -at least a year’s worth of growth (or a semester’s worth for shorter courses). 5

  9. SLO Phase II, Step 2: Select Indicators of Academic Growth and Development (IAGDs) • Quantitative Target(s) • Identify specific evidence that will demonstrate the SLO was met; • Set the level of expected performance; • Are rigorous and attainable; • Reflect both greater depth of knowledge and complexity of thinking required for success; • Results in a numeric representation of student performance relative to the SLO; and • Meet or exceeddistrict expectations. 9

  10. SLO Phase II, Step 2: Select Indicators of Academic Growth and Development (IAGDs) • SMART GOALS -S = Specific and Strategic -M = Measurable -A = Aligned and Attainable -R = Results-Oriented -T = Time-Bound 10

  11. SLO Phase II, Step 2: Select Indicators of Academic Growth and Development (IAGDs) • Each SLO must include • A minimum of two IAGDs, • may include multiple differentiated IAGDs where appropriate; • standardized where appropriate and/or non-standardized. 11

  14. SLO Phase II: Step 3 Document information that supports the SLO and IAGD: • Baseline/Trend Data • Identifies sources of data about student performance • Summarizes student data to demonstrate specific student need • Student Population • Identifies the students to be included in this objective • Explains why this group of students was selected • Interval of Instruction • Identifies the time period that this objective will cover 14

  15. SLO Phase II: Step 3 • Assessments • Identifies by specific names the pre/post- assessments • Aligns tightly to the learning content • Absent of bias • Includes constructed-response and high order thinking skills • Allows students to demonstrate application of knowledge or skills • Indicates that there are clear rubrics, scoring guides or answer keys for all items. 15

  16. SLO Phase II: Step 3 • Instructional Strategies/Supports • Identifies the key instructional approach and/or strategies to be taken during instruction • States how formative assessment will be used to guide instruction • Identifies professional learning/supports needed to achieve SLO 16

  17. SLO Phase II: Step 4 • Submit SLOs to Evaluator for Approval • The evaluator will examine each SLO relative to the following criteria to ensure that SLOs across subjects, grade levels and schools are both rigorous and comparable: • Baseline – Trend Data • Student Population • Standards and Learning Content • Interval of Instruction • Assessments • Indicators of Academic Growth and Development (IAGDs)/Growth Targets • Instructional Strategies and Supports 17

  18. Phase III: Monitor Student’s Progress • Examine student work • Administer interim assessments • Track students’ accomplishments and struggles • Share interim findings with colleagues during collaborative time • Discuss action steps for achieving progress in feedback conversations throughout the year 18

  19. Your Turn • Using your school data, create one sample teacher SLO and supporting IAGD’s that you might share with your faculty.
