4 Evaluation and professional growth cycle: Goal setting 2013-14 • 1 Professional Growth Goal • SMART Format • Informed by prior observations, evaluations, and self-assessment • Outlines a plan for professional growth and development • We currently do these! • 2 Student Learning Goals • SMART Format • Data-driven, using Measures of Student Learning and Growth • Specific requirements on sources of data • The name is new, but …
Overview: Student Learning Goals Student Learning Goals (SLGs) seem new and confusing, but are really just the SMART goals we’re already using!

Let’s get SMART: Writing smart goals “A SMART goal clarifies exactly what is expected and the measures used to determine if the goal is achieved and successfully completed.” “SMART Goals Template” - Stanford University
Let’s GET SMART:IS this a Smart goal? (GROUP DISCUSSION) I have been invited to speak as an expert at a conference on SMART goals. The conference requires all experts to have published at least one book on their topic of expertise. In order to establish myself as an expert on SMART goals, I will write a 150-page book on how to create SMART goals. I will do this by writing one chapter per month (3-5 pages per week). The book will be completed in 10 months, and will then be self-published via Amazon.com.

Student LEarning goals:Key Topics • What is a Student Learning Goal (SLG)? • Who completes SLGs? • What is growth? • What guidelines should I keep in mind? • Student Learning Goal Example(s)
Student Learning goals:What is a Student Learning goal? Professional Growth Goal Student Learning Goal SMART Goal Selected by reviewing your students’ prior achievement and results – THEIR “baseline data” Certain requirements set by the State of Oregon Addresses the most important learning in a course/class • SMART Goal • Selected by reviewing your prior observations, evaluations, and self-assessment – YOUR “baseline data” • Focus on enhancing your professional practice
Student Learning goals:ODE Definition of SLG A specific, rigorous, long-term growth goal for groups of students that represents the most important learning during an interval of instruction.
Student Learning goals:ODE Definition of SLG – BREAKING IT DOWN A specific, rigorous, long-term growth goal for groups of students that represents the most important learning during an interval of instruction. “long-term” and “interval of instruction”: spanning a year, course, semester, quarter, or other major segment of time.
Student Learning goals:ODE Definition of SLG – BREAKING IT DOWN A specific, rigorous, long-term growth goal for groups of students that represents the most important learning during an interval of instruction. “most important learning”: addressing the most central standards, skills, concepts, or ideas covered in the class/course.
Student Learning goals:What Guidelines apply? Your SLGs Must: • Be written as a SMART goal • Address the most important learning in an interval of instruction • Focus on growth, not achievement • Between two goals, address all students in class/course • Between two goals, use data from 2 of 3 ODE-identified categories
Student Learning Goals: A Reminder… Key Point: Student Learning Goals are non-evaluative for 2013-14 2013-14
Student Learning goals:Who completes these goals? From ODE: Teacher: Any individual holding a Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) teaching license or registration (ORS 342.125 & 342.144) or who is otherwise authorized to teach in the public schools of this state and who is employed as an instructor at .5 FTE and at least 135 consecutive days of the school year (as per ORS 342.840).

Student Learning goals: What is growth? Growth is… “…a change in student achievement for an individual student between two or more points in time.” US Department of Education (2009)
Student Learning goals:Is this growth? My students will be rated as “Meets” on their OAKS Reading results.
Student Learning goals:Is this growth? 75% of my students will be rated as “Meets” or higher on their OAKS Mathematics results.
Student Learning goals:Is this growth? Each of my students will increase their OAKS RIT score result by 20% from their prior testing results.
Student Learning goals:Is this growth? Each of my students will improve their rating received on their pre-assessment by one level of proficiency when completing their annual summative assessment.
Student Learning goals:What Guidelines apply? Your SLGs Must: • Be written as a SMART goal • Address the most important learning in an interval of instruction • Focus on growth, not achievement • Between two goals, address all students in class/course • Between two goals, use data from 2 of 3 ODE-identified categories
Student Learning goals:Guidelines – What students to include? • Must write 2 Student Growth Goals in SMART format • Between the two goals, we are required to address all students in a particular class or course.
Student Learning goals:What is a class/course at elementary? • Grade Level: 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, etc… • PE / Music: By Grade Level, By Content (Orchestra) • Specialists: By Grade, By All Pullout • Counseling/Guidance: By School, By Grade
Student Learning goals:What is a class/course at Secondary? • By Course: 6th Grade Block, Algebra I, Economics • Must select all periods of a given course – If I teach 3 periods of Algebra I and select it as a focus, I must address my students in all 3 periods. • PE / Music: By Grade Level, By Content (Orchestra) • Specialists: By Grade, By Pullout • Counseling/Guidance: By School, By Grade
Student Learning goals:Guidelines – What students to include? For example: • If I was 4th grade teacher, I could write 1 goal around OAKS Reading (which includes 100% of my students). My 2nd goal could focus on either all of my students, or could target a specific sub-population of students I would like to work with.
Student Learning goals:Guidelines – What students to include? For example: • If I was a Social Studies teacher, I could select my three periods of “World History” as my course. My 1st goal could focus upon my TAG-identified students in my course, and my 2nd goal could focus on my non-TAG identified students.
Student Learning goals:What Guidelines apply? Your SLGs Must: • Be written as a SMART goal • Address the most important learning in an interval of instruction • Focus on growth, not achievement • Between two goals, address all students in class/course • Between two goals, use data from 2 of 3 ODE-identified categories
Student Learning goals:Guidelines - data categories State or National Standardized Assessments Common National, International, Regional, or District-Developed Measures Classroom-based or School-wide Measures OAKS, Smarter Balanced (when adopted), ELPA ACT, PLAN, EXPLORE, AP, IB, DIBELS, Easy CBM Other common assessments approved by state/district as valid, reliable and able to be scored comparably across schools or classrooms Student performances, portfolios, products, projects, work samples, tests
Student Learning goals:Guidelines - data categories Are you in an OAKS Reading or Math tested grade or subject? (ODE defined as ELA and mathematics in grades 3-8 and 11) YES NO • 1 Goal MUST use OAKS or ELPA • 1 Goal will use a data source from Category 2 or 3 • 2 Goals using data sources from Categories 1, 2, or 3 • May only use a category once; two categories total must be selected
Student Learning goals:What Guidelines apply? Your SLGs Must: • Be written as a SMART goal • Address the most important learning in an interval of instruction • Focus on growth, not achievement • Between two goals, address all students in class/course • Between two goals, use data from 2 of 3 ODE-identified categories
