Multiple Measures of Student Achievement • Building Level Data (School Performance Profile) Academic Achievement, Graduation/Promotion Rate, Attendance, AP-IB Courses offered, PSAT, Building Level PSSA and Keystone Assessment Data • Correlation Data Based on Teacher Level Measures PSSA, Keystone Data 3. Elective Data (SLOs)
SLO Process A process to document a measure of educator effectiveness based on student achievement of content standards.
SLO Concepts • Student achievement can be measured in ways that reflect authentic learning of content standards. • Educator effectiveness can be measured through use of student achievement measures.
The SLO in PA is written to a specific teacher and a specific class/course/content area for which that teacher provides instruction in the area they are certified to teach.
Many factors can influence the size of an SLO, Time Frame Course Content Important LearningNeeds but the process remains the same………..
SLO Process Design • Goal-Standards • Performance Measures • Indicators • Indicator #1 • Assessment #1a • Indicator #2 • SLO Goal • Assessment #1b • Assessment #2
SLO Process Criteria SLOs should: • Represent the diversity of students and courses/content areas taught. • Align to a set of approved indicators/targets related to selected academic content standards. • Be based upon two time-bound events/data collection periods and/or performance defined levels of “mastery”. • Be supported by verifiable data that can be collected and scored in a standardized manner. • Include a set of independent performance measures.
SLO Process Steps: Teacher Identify subject and students Select the “big idea” from the content standards Establish a goal Select and/or create performance measures for each indicator Identify indicators associated with the goal Create performance expectations across all indicators
SLO Template A process tool used to identify goals, indicators, and performance measures for use in the Teacher Effectiveness System Handouts: SLO Template, Help Desk, & Performance Task Framework
SLO Template Design Expectations
SLO Template Criteria • 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.
Spanish 1 • Students will be able demonstrate effective communication in the target language by speaking and listening, writing, and reading. • 8thGrade Art • Students will demonstrate the ability to manipulate visual art materials and tools to create works based on the ideas of other artists and to evaluate the processes and products of themselves and other artists. • Grade 5 Library • Students will demonstrate the ability to use online D.P.S. databases and search engines, Britannica Elementary, Culture Grams, and Nettrekker toward support real world experiences and determining which is the best source for specific information. 2a. The SLO Goal Statement: What’s the Important Learning?
Targeted content standards used in developing the SLO. • Arts and Humanities: • 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 • http://pdesas.org/ 2b. Standards selection: What Standards Match the Goal Statement?
Explains why the SLO is important and how students will demonstrate learning of the standards through this objective. 2c. Rationale statement: Why is this Learning Important? Grade 8 Art: Developing the ability to manipulate visual art materials and tools are important to the artistic creation process, as is the ability to evaluate the process and product created by oneself and others. Child Development (FCS) Understanding how children grow and develop will prepare individuals and families to meet challenges associated with raising children.
Many things must be considered when choosing or building quality assessments.
Choosing or Building Performance Measures and TasksSome things to think about… What does a Teacher do to administer a performance measure? What must a Student know and do to complete a performance measure? How does a Teacher score a performance measure?
Describes individual student performance expectation • 4a. • What performance measure(s) –tests, assessments– will be used to measure student achievement of the standards, and what’s the expected student achievement level based on the scoring system for those measures? • 4b. • What’s the expected achievement level for unique populations? (IEP, students who did not do well on a pre-test, etc.) 3: Performance Indicator: What does Student Performance Look Like?
