  5. Teaching Professionals Ask the Two-Prong Question • To determine whether e a person is a teaching professional, you must be able to answer yes to the following two questions: • 1) Are they working under an instructional certification? • 2) Do they provide direct instruction* to students in a particular subject or grade level? • *Direct instruction is defined as planning and providing the instruction, and assessing the effectiveness of the instruction.

  9. How do you develop an SLO? Ask.. • What content am I teaching? • Within this subject, what is the most critical • content my students need to know? • 3. How will I teach this content so my students master it? • 4. What assessments will I administer that will tell me my students learned it?

  10. Resources to Support the Process: http://www.psla.org/professional-development/model-curriculum http://www.pdesas.org/module/sas/curriculumframework/librarymodelcurriculum.aspx

  11. Section 2: Goal Statement: Instructional Content derived from the Big Idea Big Idea: Effective readers use appropriate strategies to construct meaning Goal Statement: Use and cite specific textual evidence in primary and secondary sources and analyze the relationship between these sources.

  12. Section 2: Standards: Identifies the standards that align with your goal statement

  13. Section 2: Rationale: A narrative providing reasons why the goal and the aligned standards address important learning for this content area. “Analyzing sources and citing them as evidence is a skill students need to be college and career ready “

  14. Section 3: Performance Measures • Educators design Performance measures (Summative assessments) that are used to determine the educator’s effectiveness. • Answers the question: What is the best way to assess my students to know if they are learning?

  15. With a partner brainstorm examples of summative assessmentsthat you might use to measure this goal: Use and cite specific textual evidence in primary and secondary sources and analyze the relationship between these sources.

  16. Performance Measures Ask : What competencies am I assessing through this task? • Students will… • Use and cite specific textual evidence in primary and secondary sources and analyze the relationship between these sources. • Use a variety of primary and secondary sources.

  17. The Task:

  18. Section 4: Performance Indicator • A description of the expected level of achievement for each student in the SLO. This is determined by the results of your scoring tool Answers the question: How will you know your students achieved?

  19. Section 4: Performance Indicator • On the Lincoln task: • Students will score a 4 out of 5 or higher on the criteria in the project rubric

  20. Section 5: Teacher Rating • Completed after assessment data are collected and reviewed against your performance indicators • Students will score a 4 out of 5 or higher on the criteria in the project rubric

  21. Ask yourself….What Percentage of my students will meet the targets that I set? Ask these questions: • What does your formative assessment say? • What does your historical data show?

  22. SLOs are operational in the 2014-15 school year • Participate in training to learn about the development and implementation of SLOs • The SLO is administered anytime during the school year when the content identified is taught. • May consider collaborative SLOs (teachers work together to develop the goal) • Once the content of the SLO has been taught and assessed, student achievement determines the educator’s effectiveness

  23. Educator Tasks in the SLO Process Late Summer/Early Fall: Design your SLO using the approved template FALL: Evaluate the SLO using the Quality Assurance Checklist prior to meeting with the school leader AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE PERFORMANCE MEASURE(S): Organize the student assessment data and prepare a summary document that includes student assessment results LATE SPRING: Meet with the school leader to review the results of the SLOs
