Where Do SLOs Fit into APPR? Other Comparable Measures
NYS SLOs MUST have: • Student Population • •Learning Content • •Interval of Instructional Time • •Evidence • •Baseline • •Target(s) • •HEDI Criteria • •Rationale
SLO Basic Rules • If a teacher teaches any course ending in a NYS Assessment (Regents, 3-8 ELA or Math, NYSAA) the teacher must have an SLO using the results of that assessment. • A teacher must have one or more SLOs that cover at least 50% of the students s/he teachers. (Students, not sections!)
SLO Basic Rules • A teacher’s SLOs must address the course with the largest total student number first (in all sections of the course). If this SLO does not cover 50% of the teacher’s students, then a second SLO based on the next largest course must be created. This process must be repeated until at least 50% of the teacher’s students are covered.
SLO Timeline • Deadline? We need to be up and running by September 2012 • When do we do this? SDD, department meetings, professional preps
Our Goals: • To accurately reflect the student learning occurring in the classroom • To be rigorous • To be fair • To be sane • To keep this as simple as possible—building on what we already do
