Student Learning Objectives Briana Timmerman, Ph.D. for Rinice Sauls
What are SLOs? • Teacher-driven, student-centered, standards-based set of goals that establish expectations for students’ academic growth • Can represent the most important learning for the school year, semester, or quarter • SLOs directly link a teacher’s classroom instruction to student growth • Centered on rigorous, yet attainable growth targets
SLO Quality Review Examines the three main components of the SLO: • Content • Rigor of Target • Quality of Assessment
SLO Quality Review Content: Are the SLO objectives aligned to the standards? Is the objective measurable? Rigor of Target: Is the growth target based on students’ baseline performance, rigorous, yet attainable? Quality of Assessment: Does the assessment measure the skills identified in the objective statement?
What does this mean for educators? • Increased capacity for data driven instruction • Enhanced skill level for creating and selecting assessments • Opportunities to collaborate with other educators • Opportunities to link classroom instruction, assessment, and student outcomes.
