Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR)
What are the components of APPR? • Teacher Evaluation • 60 points (observation*/goal setting) • 20 points (State Growth Measure/Student Learning Objective [SLO] or goal setting process) • 20 points (local assessment) *Observations based on New York State Teaching Standards and rubric selected by district.
What is a Student Learning Objective? • A Student Learning Objective (SLO) is an academic goal for students that is set at the start of a course and tailored for that specific course. • It represents the most important learning for the year. • It must be specific and measurable. • It must be based upon data and aligned with State/National/Common Core Standards. • Teacher scores are based upon the degree to which these goals are attained.
Student Learning Objectives (SLO) • Will provide the Comparable Growth Measure (CGM) for any teacher who will not receive a growth measure from the state. • Is worth 20% of teachers overall evaluation. • Can also be used for local assessments. • Should be comparable for all teachers teaching the same course. • Based on prior student learning data.
Who Will Need an SLO? • For those classes that do not have a state assessment and are not “associated with a state assessment or a Regents,” develop/identify a district-wide assessment and set an SLO for that assessment. Ex. HS Calculus, MS Band, World Languages. • In many cases one SLO will be sufficient. However, it may be necessary to have more than one SLO. The SLO must address 50 % of a teachers total enrollment. For example, if a teacher has 150 students (50 students in French 1, 50 students in French 2, 50 students in French 3), she will 2 SLOs.
What Comprises an SLO? • Identify student population served. • Identify learning content, based on standards. • Interval of time: half-year/year. • Evidence: assessments or products. • Baseline: starting point for students. • Target: Expected outcomes by end of instructional period. • HEDI Criteria: ranges of student performance and range of points related to ratings. • Rationale: Why is this learning important?
Student Population • Each SLO will address all students in the teacher’s course (or across multiple course sections) who take the same final exam. • What about students with IEP’s? • What about students who enter the course late in the year? • What about students who switch courses? • What about students who have poor attendance?
Evidence • What assessments of student work will be used to measure the SLO? • Regional Exams • Final Exams • Performance Assessments (writing) • Pencil/Paper tests • Multiple Choice tests (listening/reading) • Projects
Baseline • What is the starting level for students in the class? • Target & HEDI criteria and expectations • What about different/ability entry levels? • What about native speakers? • What does a pre-assessment look like?
Rationale • Why was this learning content selected? • What is the context of the course in a sequence of study? • What is the focus of the course? • What evidence was collected? • How were students assessed? • How does the baseline and evidence inform instruction?
Targets • How is the target set?
Let’s try an example… • Spanish Level 3 course • Teacher has one SLO for this course • 100 Students • Writing Task as pre-assessment • Used a 5-point rubric to score
What should the target be for this course? • 80% of students will…
What is the process? • Meet with supervisor to decide how many SLOs are needed and for which courses. • Determine population, learning content, interval, rationale, evidence and baseline. • Establish comparable expectations for each level/course. • Administer pre-assessment • Determine target based on pre-assessment data
