Student Learning Objectives (SLOs)
Setting the Stage for Student Learning Objectives and Evidence-Based Performance Evaluation
Day 5 ObjectivesTo investigate more deeply into the
guidance document for SLOs through:Analysis of examplesExploration of rulesWriting a sample SLO
To connect SLOs with classroom observations
5 District Decisions by 6/30/2012 Assess and identify priorities and
academic needs. Identify who will have State-provided
growth measures and who must have SLOs as “comparable growth measures.”
Determine District rules for how specific SLOs will get set.
Establish expectations for scoring SLOs and for determining teacher ratings for the growth component.
Determine District-wide processes for setting, reviewing, and assessing SLOs in schools.
Who has SLOs and how will SLOs be set?
Who Needs an SLO?
Step 1: Determine District-wide Priorities and Academic Needs
Assess and identify District-wide priorities and academic needs. Start with commitments and focus areas in District strategic plans.
Decide how prescriptive the District will be and where decisions will be made by principals, or principals with teachers.
From NY DOE engageny.org Introduction to SLO Deck
Step 2: Identify who will have State-provided growth measures and who must have SLOs as “comparable growth measures”.
50 – 100% Students Covered by State-Provided Growth Measures 50 – 100% Students Covered by State-Provided Growth Measures
0 – 49% Students Covered by State-Provided Growth Measures
0 – 49% Students Covered by State-Provided Growth Measures
Core Subjects: ELA, Math, SS, Science
Regents coursesIf a course ends in a Regents exam than
for the State Growth the SLO must use the Regents exam as evidence of student learning within the SLO. If the course does not end in a Regents exam than it is not considered a core subject under Regulations for State growth. The SLO for all subjects that do not end in a Regents may use one of the following assessments:
* List of State-approved 3rd party assessments* District- or BOCES-developed assessmentsprovided that the district or BOCES verifiescomparability and rigor* School-wide, group, or team results based on stateassessments* School or teacher-created assessment
If you are looking for options under locally selected measures, please see:
http://usny.nysed.gov/rttt/teachers-leaders/greenmemo.pdf as there are a number of options for District leaders to choose from and SLOs areonly one of a number of options.
Activity 1: Locate the form “ Teachers with State
Provided Growth Measures and Teachers needing SLOs”
Identify the groups of teachers that fall into each category
Assume, for the time being, that all of the groups have a single assignment (Do not consider at this time teachers who have multiple “preps.”
Activity 2: Determining Types of Assessments Needed for SLOLocate handout “ Determining Types
of Assessments Needed for SLO”List the groups from Activity 1 on the
left hand side and identify the types of assessment needed for the SLOState assessmentThird party assessmentRegional/district/school/classroom assessment
Activity 3: Creating a District Assessment ChartLocate “District Assessment Chart”Identify the assessments available in
the district other than state assessments by teacher assignment
I suggest that this be done by individual districtsNote that some 3rd party assessments can not be used for “growth” (the 1st 20%)
Break
Please be back in 15 minutes
After each case, provide an example and identify the assessment that would be used
SLO Exceptional Cases
Case 1: Less than 50% of students have a SGP measurement
Case 2: Multiple Sections w/wo SGP
Case 3: ESL/Bilingual/SWD
Case 4: Co-Teachers
Case 5: Push-in, pull-out
Case 6: NYSESLAT Students
Case 7: NYSAA
Case 8: Special Cases
Another Option
An Example:
Must use State Assessments

Scoring SLOs
HEDI Bands
Reviewing Examples
Activity 5: Reviewing ExamplesLocate handout of examplesEach team choose one example to review Identify which process was chosen for this
exampleTarget for mastery of standardsTarget for score gainIndividual student growth gain
Identify which assessment was chosen or required
If multiple SLOs, explain the scoring
Activity 6: Creating an SLOGivens:
This is an 8th grade social studies example
The teacher class assignments are all grade 8 social studies
The pre-test results are providedThe SLO must include the results from the state assessment in social studies for grade 8
Tying SLOs to Classroom Observations
Three tools for observationsScriptSelective verbatimTallying
Activity 7: Connecting Observations to SLOs
Watch a lesson on 8th grade social studies
After seeing the lesson, what evidence might you have to help this teacher achieve her SLO?
What might you suggest to this teacher to help insure her students achieve the standards set forth in the SLO?
What elements of the teaching standards would apply?
