10. What is an SLO? A process to document a measure of educator effectiveness based on student achievement of content standards.

11. The SLO Process: Creating a Relationship Standards Based Education Measurement of Student Achievement Measurement of Educator Effectiveness

12. THE PA SLO TEMPLATE & PROCESS What it is supposed to be: What it is not supposed to be: • A format to inform strong instructional practice and strong student achievement • A way to measure teacher effectiveness based on student achievement • An opportunity for teachers to define, describe and present data on student achievement in the content area that they teach • More paperwork for teachers that has no meaning or purpose • More testing for students • A weak substitute for PVAAS or other standardized testing data

13. The SLO in PA is written to a specific teacher and a specific class/course/content area for which that teacher provides instruction. The SLO: It’s Yours!

14. 1 Set of Students + 1 Subject = 1 SLO Each teacher will choose ONE set of students and ONE subject area that they teach to write ONE Student Learning Outcome. • Think of it as providing a water sample of your teaching or a show and tell about what you do as an educator.

15. Many factors can influence the size of an SLO, Time Frame Course Content Important LearningNeeds but the process remains the same………..

16. SLO Process Design

17. C R I T E R I A • Goals are based upon the “big ideas” within the content standards. • Performance indicators are specific, measureable, attainable, and realistic. • Performance measures should be valid, reliable, and rigorous assessments. • Data should be collected, organized, and reported in a consistent manner. • Teacher expectations of student achievement should be demanding.
