Teacher Performance Evaluation System Student Learning Objectives
Things Effective Teachers Do …plus one! • Assess students to determine their instructional levels and clarify their academic needs • Set instructional goals for students • Design strategies and identify resources to address identified needs • Monitor and assess student progress throughout the school year and adjust instruction accordingly • Work cooperatively with colleagues to share professional expertise • Formalize this process so that the teacher’s effectiveness can be documented and acknowledged
What Are the Purposes ofStudent Growth Objectives? • Focus on student results • Explicitly connect teaching and learning • Improve instructional practices and teacher performance • Serve as a tool for school improvement
Who Determines Areas of Focus? • Schools? • Principals? • Teacher groups? • Individual teachers?
How Do We Determine Areas of Focus? • What sources of data are available? • How broad/narrow will our focus be? • Example: Grade 5 math OR • Grade 5 math in the areas of number sense and computation & estimation
Sunshine Elementary Grade 5 Percent of Students Passing End-of-Year Assessments
The Pre-Assessment: A Necessity You might know where you’re going… but if you don’t know where you’re starting, how can you make a plan to get there?
How Do We Determine What Pre-Assessments to Use? • Emphasis on tests with higher validity and reliability • Must be able to show progress in skills or content • What is already in place?
Maria Sanchez--Grade 5 Looking at her baseline data, what challenges will Maria have this year in teaching math?
Objective: A statement of an intended outcome of your work... Student Learning What is a Student Learning Objective? Distinct from Strategies • Strategies = Means • Objective = End
Specific Measureable Appropriate Rigorous, but Realistic Time-bound What Makes Objectives SMART?
Progress versus Achievement Progress/Growth Achievement • Students will score X% greater on the post-test than on the pre-test... OR... • Students will increase their performance by X performance levels on the rubric. • X% of students will achieve a score of X or higher
Maria’s Objective Objective Statement: In the current school year, each student will achieve an average of 1 year’s gain using the STAR Math assessment for students below, on, and above grade level as tested in August. • A good objective statement is one that is… • Specific • Measurable • Appropriate • Rigorous, but Realistic • Time-bound
Be the Evaluator: Objective Statement: In the current school year, each student will achieve an average of 1 year’s gain using the STAR Math assessment for students below, on, and above grade level as tested in August.
Anna Tate: Grade 8 Language Arts Rubric used for Assessing Students in Expository Writing
Anna’s Objective Objective Statement: For the 2012 – 13 school year, 100% of my students will make measurable progress in writing. Each student will improve by one performance level in composition, written expression, and mechanics/usage. Furthermore, 80% of the students will score a “3” or better overall. • A good objective statement is one that is… • Specific • Measurable • Appropriate • Rigorous, but Realistic • Time-bound
Specific: Focused on physical education, specifically the Presidential Fitness sub areas Measurable: Identified Presidential Fitness Test to be used to assess objective Appropriate: The teacher teaches the content and skills contained in the Presidential Fitness Tests. Rigorous, but Realistic: The objective of increasing student performance by 20% is realistic. It is not out of reach and yet not too easy. Time-bound: Goal attainment can be addressed by the end of the year with the final Presidential Fitness Test. Jim Nasium’s SLO During the 2012-13 school year, my sixth grade physical education students will improve performance by 20% on each of the Presidential Fitness Test sub areas.
How SMART is this objective? Anita Knapp – Second Grade Teacher During this school year, my students will improve on word knowledge and oral reading fluency.
Better SLO for Anita Knapp? Objective Statement: During this school year, 100% of my students will improve in word knowledge and oral reading as measured by PALS. Each student will move up at least a grade level in instructional reading level from fall to spring. Furthermore, students who are below grade level in instructional reading level will increase their instructional reading level by 1.5 years.
How SMART is this Objective? Mason Dixon – Government Teacher For the current school year, my students will have the knowledge and skills to be productive members of their society because they will be able to analyze primary and secondary source documents.
Better Objective for Mason Dixon? Objective Statement: During this school year, 100% of my students will improve in analyzing primary and secondary source documents. Each student will increase his/her ability to analyze documents by one level on the rating rubric. Furthermore, 75% of students will score at “proficient” or above.
How SMART is this Objective? Anne Droid – Basic Technical Drawing/Design/CAD During this school year, 100% of my students will demonstrate measurable progress in the basic technical drawing by improving at least one performance level on the rubric. At least 85% of my students will score proficient on the end of the year performance assessment according to line quality, neatness, accuracy, and title block.

Revise Maria’s SLO Objective Statement: In the current school year, each student will achieve an average of 1 year’s gain using the STAR Math assessment for students below, on, and above grade level as tested in August. Revised Objective Statement:
Revise Maria’s SLO Revised Objective Statement: In the current school year, all students will achieve at least 1 year’s gain using the STAR math assessment; students in the below grade level category will achieve at least 1.2 year’s gain. Objective Statement: In the current school year, each student will achieve an average of 1 year’s gain using the STAR Math assessment for students below, on, and above grade level as tested in August.
Strategies should be: • Linked specifically to the objective • Specific to what the teacher will do • Measurable • As high-yield as possible
