The X-Factor and Conferences The X-factor is designed to accomplish 4 things: • Understand the Teacher’s perspective • Identify Strengths and how to use them effectively • Identify next steps • Commit to changing classroom practice How can the design be used for goal setting conferences?
SLO’s • Takes into account teacher’s assignment, students, and context • 45% of total evaluation • SLO 1 goal based on school goal (see slide 20) • SLO 2 goal based on class data
The Student Learning Outcome Cycle • SLO Phase 1—Learning about students • SLO Phase 2—Set goals for student learning • SLO Phase 3—Monitor students’ progress • SLO Phase 4—Assess student outcomes relative to goals
SLO Phase 1 • Takes place early in the year • Review of all available data • “Discovery” phase
SLO Phase 2 • Step 1—decide on SLO • Step 2—select Indicators of Academic Growth and Development (IAGD) • Step 3—rationale, standards, baseline data, interim assessments, supports • Step 4—submit for approval

SLO Phase 4 • End-of-Year Conference • Describe results and provide evidence for each indicator • Provide an overall assessment as to whether goal was met or not • Describe the teacher actions that produced the result • Describe what you learned and how you will use it going forward • Consider the body of evidence
