  19. Creating aStudent Learning Objective (SLO)

  20. Definition of an SLO (highlight key words): A student learning objective is an academic goal for a teacher’s students that is set at the start of a course. It represents the most important learning for the year (or, semester, where applicable). It must be specific and measurable, based on available prior student learning data, and aligned to Common Core, State, or national standards, as well as any other school and district priorities. Teachers’ scores are based upon the degree to which their goals were attained.

  21. Definition of an SLO (highlight key words): A student learning objective is an academic goal for a teacher’s students that is set at the start of a course. It represents the most important learning for the year (or, semester, where applicable). It must be specific and measurable, based on available prior student learning data, and aligned to Common Core, State, or national standards, as well as any other school and district priorities. Teachers’ scores are based upon the degree to which their goals were attained.

  22. NYS SLO Template

  23. Student Population These are the students included in the SLO.

  24. Learning Content • Identify the course name and source of standards (Common Core, national, state, local) associated with this SLO, and specify the exact standards, performance indicators, etc., that will be taught, learned, and assessed. CCLS Anchor Standards

  25. Interval of Instructional Time • This is the timeframe within which the learning content will be taught. (This is generally one academic year unless the course is set as a semester, quarter, etc.)

  26. Evidence These are the assessments used for determining students’ levels of learning. Two parts: • Pre-assessment or diagnostic data that you gather and analyze at the beginning of the course • Summative measures for the end of the course Appendix B

  27. Evidence – Application With your small group, discuss what pre- and summative assessments best measure the selected learning content for the course and standards/performance indicators you selected. Pre-assessment(s): ___________________ Summative assessment(s): ___________________ (If none are available for your learning content, describe the characteristics of a high-quality and valid assessment for the identified learning content, how it would be developed, by whom, when, etc.)

  28. Baseline Describe how students performed on the identified pre-assessment(s) for the learning content. Baseline scores for students should be reviewed by teacher and Principal/Director when setting the SLO at the beginning of the course.

  29. Target(s) This is the level of knowledge and skill that students are expected to achieve at the end point of the interval of instructional time. Define numerical growth goals for student performance on identified summative assessment(s) which measure student knowledge and skill in the learning content. These data will be reviewed by the teacher and Principal/Director at the conclusion of the course.

  30. Sample SLO Targets • 85% of the students will score ______ on the _____. • 85% of the students will score a 650 scale score on the 5th grade ELA assessment. • 85% of the ELL students will score a 3 on the NYSELAT. • 85% of the students will score a 3 on the 7th grade Math Terra Nova. • 85% of the students will score 75% or higher on the Chemistry Regents. • 85% of the students will score 80% or higher on the regionally developed physical education summative assessment.

  31. Target Options • Common Growth Target • Growth-to-Mastery Target • Differentiated Growth Target • % of students meeting individual Target • % of students meeting a collective Target

  32. HEDI This is how different levels of student growth will translate into one of four rating categories: • Highly effective (20-18) • Effective (17-9) • Developing (8-3) • Ineffective (2-0)

  33. HEDI

  34. HEDI – Considerations • How high are expectations for all students? • How clear are the distinctions between each rating category? • Within a HEDI rating category, how clear and objective is the point allocation? • What is the rationale that is used for the differentiations in points?

  35. Rationale • This describes the reasoning behind the choices regarding learning content, evidence, and target. For your selected course, craft the rationale, reflecting on the considerations raised throughout the session.

  36. FAQ’s Regarding SLOs Questions and Answers • Who has to write a SLO? Any teacher who does not receive a State provided growth score for at least 50% of their total student population. • How many SLOs do I have to write? The maximum number is 3. SLOs must cover at least 50% of your total population. • Do we count only students who we have on the first day of school? No, your student population will be set on BEDS day.

  37. FAQ’s regarding SLOsQuestions and Answers • Which teachers must attach themselves tostateassessment results? If your students take a state assessment, then this must be used as the summative assessment (ie: 3rd grade teachers must use ELA and Math results for their students) • If I am a teacher in a co-teaching situation, do I write my own SLOs? Teachers in a co-teaching situation will have the same SLO as the classroom teacher and will be tied to aggregate growth of all students.

  38. FAQ’s regarding SLOsQuestions and Answers • Can I administer and grade the summative assessment? No, districts need to design and implement protocols so teachers are not administering and assessing their own students (vested interest rule). • Must the summative assessment be a secure assessment? Yes, districts must ensure that the assessments used are secure (students cannot have seen the assessment/items). • Does my SLO have to be approved by anyone? Yes, you and your principal (and/or director)will discuss your SLO to ensure it meets the standards of the district. The district is finalizing the process for submitting, approving and supervising the SLO process. Some decisions may be subject to negotiations.

  39. FAQ’s regarding SLOsQuestions and Answers • Can I adjust my SLO in the middle of the year? No. Once a SLO is written, baseline data gathered, and targets set, this will remain intact for the duration of the year (or length of course). • Which students do I choose if I teach many throughout theyear? You SLO must cover at least 50% of your students. You must start with your combined like course with the largest populationof students. • Does an SLO look at growth of individual students or theentire class? It looks at the growth of individual students. However, it is the aggregate growth of all individuals that determines whether the target was met.

  40. FAQ’s regarding SLOsQuestions and Answers • Do Regents courses have to use the Regents exams? Yes, those courses that end with a Regents exam must use that, in its entirety as the summative assessment. • Ihave heard that meeting my target does not get me all 20points. Why? When setting up the HEDI score, achieving your target puts you intothe effective teacher range. The exact number of points in this range is district determined. In order to receive a highly effective rating, you must exceed your target. • Will all teachers at the same grade level have to have thesame SLO? Yes, teachers in the same grade level and courseare required to use the same SLO which includes the same assessmentsbut their targets may be different based on the specific population of students.

  42. Next Steps: • Determine where your grade level or group is in the process as outlined in the presentation. • Spend time discussing the Learning Content and whether there are priority standards that will take precedence for your SLO. • Review the information on the NSCSD discussion guide. • Know that HEDI Targets will be part of the October 9th Conference day (pending approval of PDC and DSC). • This is a process, we will keep working on and learning as we go!
