Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) Setting the Stage for Student Learning Objectives and Evidence-Based Performance Evaluation
Day 5 Objectives • To investigate more deeply into the guidance document for SLOs through: • Analysis of examples • Exploration of rules • Writing a sample SLO • To connect SLOs with classroom observations
5 District Decisions by 6/30/2012 • Assess and identify 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.
Who Needs an SLO? Who has SLOs and how will SLOs be set?
Step 1: Determine District-wide Priorities and Academic Needs • Assess and identify District-wide priorities and academic needs. Start with commitments and focus areas in District strategic plans. • Decide how prescriptive the District will be and where decisions will be made by principals, or principals with teachers. From NY DOE engageny.org Introduction to SLO Deck
Step 2: Identify who will have State-provided growth measures and who must have SLOs as “comparable growth measures”. 50 – 100% Students Covered by State-Provided Growth Measures 0 – 49% Students Covered by State-Provided Growth Measures These teachers will receive a Growth Score from the State (20-25 evaluation points) These teachers MUST have SLOs (20 evaluation points) E.g., 4-8 ELA, Math, Common Branch teachers E.g., Many high school teachers, K-3 teachers, teachers with mix of sections with/without State-provided growth measures (e.g., two 7th grade math classes and three science classes)
Activity 1: • Locate the form “ Teachers with State Provided Growth Measures and Teachers needing SLOs” • Identify the groups of teachers that fall into each category • Assume, for the time being, that all of the groups have a single assignment (Do not consider at this time teachers who have multiple “preps.”
Activity 2: Determining Types of Assessments Needed for SLO • Locate handout “ Determining Types of Assessments Needed for SLO” • List the groups from Activity 1 on the left hand side and identify the types of assessment needed for the SLO • State assessment • Third party assessment • Regional/district/school/classroom assessment
Activity 3: Creating a District Assessment Chart • Locate “District Assessment Chart” • Identify the assessments available in the district other than state assessments by teacher assignment • I suggest that this be done by individual districts • Note that some 3rd party assessments can not be used for “growth” (the 1st 20%)
Break Please be back in 15 minutes
SLO Exceptional Cases After each case, provide an example and identify the assessment that would be used
An Example: Must use State Assessments
Another example: Must use State Assessments
Activity 4: Determining SLOs • Locate the handout “Determining which teachers have SLOs” • With a partner or in a triad, complete the table • Be prepared to share out one scenario
Activity 5: Reviewing Examples • Locate handout of examples • Each team choose one example to review • Identify which process was chosen for this example • Target for mastery of standards • Target for score gain • Individual student growth gain • Identify which assessment was chosen or required • If multiple SLOs, explain the scoring
Lunch Please be back in 45 minutes
Activity 6: Creating an SLO • Givens: • This is an 8th grade social studies example • The teacher class assignments are all grade 8 social studies • The pre-test results are provided • The SLO must include the results from the state assessment in social studies for grade 8
Three tools for observations • Script • Selective verbatim • Tallying
Activity 7: Connecting Observations to SLOs • Watch a lesson on 8th grade social studies • After seeing the lesson, what evidence might you have to help this teacher achieve her SLO? • What might you suggest to this teacher to help insure her students achieve the standards set forth in the SLO?
