4. ODE Recommends 1 SLO the first year then 2-4 the following years. If you are teaching multiple levels, I would do one SLO per level. If you are only teaching one level, you may have one SLO (we asked at the meeting) or, you may distinguish the IEP students from the non IEP students and do something different with them.
