  1. New York State District-wide Growth Goal Setting Process: Student Learning Objectives Webinar 2 (REVISED FEBRUARY 2012)

  2. Where We Have Been • Webinar 1 focused on the following objectives: • Communicate the basic components and required elements of Student Learning Objectives. • Understand the roles and responsibilities of the State, District, School, and Educator within the SLO process for growth. • Articulate how SLOs fit within the overall Teacher Evaluation System and support improved student outcomes. • Identify district next steps to begin implementation of SLOs. Please Note: The Student Learning Objective (SLO) Road Map, Guidance Document, and Webinar 1 are available: http://engageny.org/resource/student-learning-objectives

  3. Webinar 2 Objectives By the end of this webinar, District leaders will… • Understand the role Common Core plays in SLOs. • Be able to communicate the key messages for SLOs. • Know the timeline for 5 key district-level SLO decisions. • Have the tools necessary to make the first 3 of their 5 key SLO decisions: • Assess and identify district-specific academic priorities and needs. • Identify who will have State-provided growth measures and who must have SLOs as “comparable growth measures.” • Determine district rules for how specific SLOs will get set.

  10. Sample Teacher SLO Data Spreadsheet All the principal needs is the aggregate to determine whether or not the target was met.

  11. Key Messages for Student Learning Objectives • SLOs name what students need to know and be able to do by the end of the year. • SLOs place student learning at the center of the conversation. • SLOs are a critical part of all great educators’ practice. • SLOs are an opportunity to document the impact educators make with students.

  12. Key Messages for SLOs continued… • SLOs provide principals with critical information that can be used to manage performance, differentiate and target professional development, and focus supports for teachers. • The SLO process encourages collaboration within school buildings. • School leaders are accountable for ensuring all teachers have SLOs that will support their district and school goals.

  13. KeyMessagesforSLOscontinued… Illustrative Alignment of Annual Goals: District, School, Teacher

  14. 5 KEY DISTRICT DECISIONS

  15. 5 District Decisions (recommended by 5/31/2012) • Assess and identify district priorities and academic needs. • Identify who will have State-provided growth measures and who must have SLOs as “comparable growth measures.” • Determine district rules for how specific SLOs will get set. • Establish expectations for scoring SLOs and for determining teacher ratings for the growth component. • Determine district-wide processes for setting, reviewing, and assessing SLOs in schools. 3/01 4/16 5/31 Note: These dates are recommended so NTI participants are prepared for their training sessions.

  16. DECISION 1:ASSESS AND IDENTIFY DISTRICT PRIORITIES AND NEEDS

  17. Step 1. District Leaders Assess and Identify Priorities and Needs* • What are the District’s overall priorities, needs, and long-term goals? • HINT: refer to your district strategic plans, and ensure alignment to the Common Core. • HINT: remember that principals and teachers will be held accountable to goals aligned with the district’s stated priorities. • HINT: the more prescriptive district level goals are, the less variation you will see in (content and rigor of) school/classroom goals. *See Attachment 1 and 2 of Resource 1: “New Paltz Educational Master Plan” and “Batavia City Schools Comprehensive District Education Plan” for two examples of districts whose goals and priorities set them up for learning and success.

  18. DECISION 2:WHO NEEDS AN SLO FOR GROWTH MEASUREMENT?

  19. THREE TYPES OF TEACHERS • Teacher 1: Those who have a State provided growth measure and are not required to have an SLO. • Teacher 2: Those who have a State provided growth measure, and yet, are required to have an SLO because less than 50% of their students are covered by the State provided growth measure. • Teacher 3: Those who are required to have an SLO and do not have a State provided growth measure.
