  1. Putting the Pieces Together….Understanding SLOs

  2. Recap…Friday • Identify Course/Subject • Identify Interval of Instruction • Identify Key Concepts/Topics/Standards • Create Two-Way Grid – tie in Bloom’s and emphasis levels • Begin to develop assessment for SLO

  3. Goals for the day • Understand 7 Student Learning Objective (SLO) components • Build understanding of criteria required within each component • Create/identify pre/post assessment • Have a clear plan for next steps

  4. Student Growth

  5. Definition of Student Growth For the purpose of use in Ohio’s evaluation systems, student growth is defined as the change in student achievement for an individual student between two or more points in time.

  6. What are Student Learning Objectives? An SLO is: • A goal that demonstrates a teacher’s impact on student learning within a given interval of instruction. • A measurable, long-term academic target written by an individual teacher or a teacher team.

  7. High-quality SLOs include or address the following criteria: • Baseline and Trend Data • Student Population • Interval of Instruction • Standards and Content • Assessment(s) • Growth Target(s) • Rationale for Growth Target(s) 7

  8. The SLO Development Process STEP 1:Gather and review available data STEP 2:Determine the interval of instruction and identify content STEP 3: Choose assessments and set the growth target STEP 4: Submit your SLO and prepare for approval and review • STEP 5: Final scoring of the SLO

  9. SLO Evaluation Cycle Aug - Sept • Submitted by 10/1 • Committee approve/ request revision by 11/1 • Final approval no later than 11/15 No later than 5/15 Ongoing • Post Assessment given by 4/1 • Data submitted by 4/15

  10. Definition of Student Growth For the purpose of use in Ohio’s evaluation systems, student growth is defined as the change in student achievement for an individual student between two or more points in time. Growth

  11. SLO Template and Example Take 10 minutes to: • Look at the seven components in the blank template (Handout 1.1). • Critically review the Choir SLO example (Handout 1.2) Then, take a few minutes to: • Jot down questions, points of confusion or other comments

  12. SLO Components 1 - 2 • Baseline and Trend Data • Summarizes student information (test score from previous years, results of pre-assessments), • Identifies student strengths and weaknesses, and • Reviews trend data to inform the objective and establish the amount of growth that should take place. • Student Population. Includes the following: • Students • Course • Grade level • Number of students included in the objective.

  13. SLO Components 3-4 • Interval of Instruction. The duration of the SLO (including start and end dates) • Standards and Content. • SLO should cover the content, skills, and specific standards to which the SLO is aligned. • SLOs should be broad enough to represent the most important learning or overarching skills, but narrow enough to be measured.

  14. SLO Components 5-6 • Assessment(s). • Assessments that will be used to measure student growth for the objective. • Assessment(s) should be reviewed by content experts to effectively measure course content and should have sufficient “stretch” so that all students may demonstrate learning. • If supplemental assessments are needed to cover all ability levels in the course, this section should provide a plan for combining multiple assessments. • Growth Target(s). • The target for student growth should reflect high expectations for student achievement that are developmentally appropriate. • The targets should be rigorous yet attainable.

  15. SLO Component 7 • Rationale for Growth Target(s). • High quality SLOs include strong justifications for why the goal is important and achievable for this group of students. • Rationales should draw upon assessment, baseline and trend data, student outcomes, and curriculum standards and should be aligned to broader school and district goals.

  16. SLO Template Checklist

  17. Reviewing an SLO using the Checklist • With a partner, evaluate the quality of the Choir SLO prior to revision in Handout 1.4 using the SLO Template Checklist (Handout 1.3). • Discuss what changes would need to be made and questions you would have for the teacher

  18. Reflection Discuss with an elbow partner your impressions of SLOs: • Which component(s) of the SLO will be most difficult to complete? Why? • With which component(s) of the SLO are you most comfortable? • What resources are available to you to help?

  19. So what’s next… • Identify Course/Subject • Identify Interval of Instruction • Identify Key Concepts/Topics/Standards • Create Two-Way Grid – tie in Bloom’s and emphasis levels • Create/identify post assessment • Determine pre assessment • Begin to complete SLO template Section 3: Interval of Instruction Section 4: Standards and Content Section 5: Assessments(s)

  20. Looking ahead August 21st – September 20th: • Administer pre assessment • Complete Section 3, 4, 5 of electronic SLO Template. September 23rd: • Waiver Day bring scored pre assessments with you! • We will work on growth targets and remaining SLO components
