Student Learning and Growth Goals Foundations Updated August 2016 1
Outcomes • Understand purpose and requirements of Student Learning and Growth (SLG) goals • Review achievement vs. growth • Practice with sample goals
Purpose of SLG Goals • SB 290 and OAR 581-022-1723 • Accountability not the only reason • Reflective practice is essential for growth as an educator • Data collected and analyzed supports informed classroom and building decisions
Required Evaluation and Support System Components Student Learning and Growth Goalsare one of three categories of evidence
What are SLG Goals? • Detailed, measurable goals for student learning and growth • Aligned to standards and clearly describe specific learning targets students are expected to meet • Based on student learning needs identified by a review of baseline data • Goals are rigorous, yet attainable
Achievement Goals vs. Growth Goals Start with baseline data Includes ALL students regardless of ability level Students can show various levels of growth –students may have individualized finish lines.
Activity: Goal Sorting • Sort the slips into two groups by Achievement Goals and Student Learning and Growth Goals • Discuss reasoning of their group selection
SLG Requirements for 2016-17 REQUIRED • 8 components • Minimum of two Category 2 SLG goals each year • Quality Checklist used for setting goals and Statewide Rubric used for scoring • The use of statewide assessments and Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) as measures of SLG goals are optional • Oregon Matrix used for summative evaluation RECOMMENDED • Content is focused, not everything you teach • Context can help ascertain instructional needs • Tier goals/targets where appropriate • Include the support YOU need
Required Components of SLG Goals • Content (Standards) • Assessment • Context • Baseline Data • Student Growth Goals (Targets) • Rationale • Strategies • Professional Learning & Support www.ode.state.or.us/wma/teachlearn/educatoreffectiveness/slgg-guidance.doc
Tiered Goals • Students enter the classroom with a range of knowledge and skills • Tiered goals help ensure that each student is appropriately challenged • Tiers typically set for groups of students with similar performance • Tiered goals allow for more realistic expectations for goal attainment
Quality Review Checklist • Takes place during the goal setting phase of the professional growth cycle • For an SLG goal to be approved, all criteria must be met • Version with guiding questions available in SLG section of toolkit www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=3836
Scoring SLG Goals • All teachers and administrators set and score 2 goals each year • Goals arescored using state SLG Scoring Rubric
Role of SLG Goals in Evaluation • Districts required to use the Oregon Matrix in determining summative scores • Y axis represents combined performance on Professional Practice (PP) and Professional Responsibility (PR) • X axis represents combined performance on 2 SLG goals • Informs plan for professional growth • Matrix 101 PowerPoint on website www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=3637
Activity: Sample Goal Review • Work with a partner to look at the sample goals provided • Which goals do you think are strong? • Which need more work? In what areas? • Share out
Y-Axis = PP/PR Rating • Add up all component scores for total points possible; • Divide by number of components in your rubric; • Get a rating between 1 and 4; • Use Y-Axis threshold to determine PP/PR level: • 3.6 - 4.0 = 4 • 2.81-3.59 =3 • 1.99 – 2.8 = 2 * • < 1.99 = 1 *PP/PR Scoring Rule: If the educator scores two 1’s in any PP/PR component and his/her average score falls between 1.99-2.499, the educator’s performance level cannot be rated above a 1. Example • District rubric with 20 components • Component ratings: • 17 components were rated 3; and 3 were rated 2 = 57 points possible • 57/20=2.85 • 2.85 = Level 3 PP/PR Rating
X-Axis = SLG Rating • SLG performance level based on two goals • Two-year cycle select two of four goals • Score SLG goals • Get a rating between 1 and 4; • Use X-Axis thresholds to determine SLG level: • 4 = both goals 4s • 3 = both goals 3s; one goal 3 &one goal 4; one goal 2 & one 4 • 2 = both goals 2s; one goal 2 & one 3; one goal 1 & one 3; one goal 4 & one 1 • 1= both goals 1s; one goal 1 & one 2 Example • First SLG was rated 2 • A second SLG was rated 4 • X-Axis Rating = Level 3 SLG Rating
Example: Y-axis = 3 & X-axis = 3 *Inquiry Process
