SLO Definition
Student/School Learning Objectives (SLO) are detailed, measurable goals for student academic
outcomes to be achieved in a specific period of time (typically an academic year), informed by analysis of
prior data, and developed collaboratively by educators and their evaluator.
7
Preparing SLOsStep 1 A: Review Data and Identify Needs
Review data to understand student learning and root cause problems/needs:• Existing student data could include trend data on state and
district assessments, behavioral data, attendance data, other assessment data, etc. Disaggregation of data will be key in determining the target population(s).
• Existing instructional practice data are important for understanding “root causes” and these data may include classroom observations/walkthroughs, unit/lesson plans, teacher-created student work tasks, teacher surveys or interviews regarding instructional practices
8
Data for Root Cause Analysis Regarding Student Learning Concerns
• Classroom Observation and Walkthrough Data
• Collection and Analysis of Teacher Unit and Lesson Plans
• Collection and Analysis of Teacher-created Work Tasks
• Interviews to Understand Certain Instructional Approaches and Issues
9
Stand, Turn and Talk with a Neighbor
• An important connection I just made
• A question or concern that still needs to be addressed
10
Preparing SLOsStep 1B: Establish Student Learning Goal
Goal statements focus on student learning outcomes, specifically upon growth.
SLOs should identify:
1. Content standard(s) and/or skills to be addressed (e.g., Common Core)
2. Which students are included in this objective
3.What timeframe is involved (typically year-long).
11
Preparing SLOsStep 1C: Identify Growth Targets for Student Achievement
Identify specific goal(s) for student growth
Key Question / Decision:A) Are all students expected to make the same amount of growth, regardless of where they start?
OR B) Should differentiated goals be set?
12
S.M.A.R.T Goals
• SpecificGoal is focused on specific and key areas of need
• MeasurableAn appropriate evidence source is identified
• AttainableThe goal is within the teacher’s control
• Results-basedProgress toward the goal can be monitored
• Time-boundThere is a clear deadline for the goal

decoding, and reading comprehension.

Reviewing Teacher A’s SMART GoalAspect of the Goal Statement
Yes or NoRecommendations?
Specific No- the goal is very broad
Measurable No- the goal does not state how it will be measured
Attainable No- because there is no specific area identified or measurement tool, it is difficult to say if it is attainable
Results-based No- what will be the indicator of student growth?
Time-bound Yes- identified the current school year as the time interval
16
Revising Teacher A’s Goal
By May, students who are below grade level in reading comprehension will increase their instructional reading level by 1.5 years as demonstrated by their Fountas and
Pinnell Benchmark Assessment Level.
17
How SMART is this goal?
Teacher B- Middle School Physical EducationDuring the school year, all eighth grade physical education students will improve
performance by 75% on each of the Fitness-Gram (Pacer test, curl-ups, trunk lift, push ups and the sit and reach)subtests.

18
Reviewing Teacher B’s SMART Goal
Aspect of the Goal Statement
Yes or NoRecommendations?
Specific Yes-the population of students and the areas of physical fitness are identified
Measurable Yes- through pre and post-test data in each subtest of the Fitness-Gram growth can be measured
Attainable ???- probably not, this seems like an unrealistic amount of growth to be made in one year’s time
Results-based Yes- it is focused on student growth on the Fitness Gram
Time-bound Yes- identified the current school year as the time interval
19
Revising Teacher B’s Goal
During the school year, all eighth grade physical education students will improve their performance
by 20% on each of the Fitness-Gram subtests.
20
How SMART is this goal?
Teacher C- High School MathI will read a book about mathematical modeling in the high school
mathematics classroom.

Reviewing Teacher C’s SMART Goal
Aspect of the Goal Statement
Yes or NoRecommendations?
Specific Yes- focused on reading about modeling strategies in the mathematics classroom.- the scope is too limited, it does not talk about how it will be implemented in the classroom.
Measurable No- the goal does not state how it will be measured
Attainable Yes, but there is no greater impact beyond reading the book
Results-based No- does not specify impact beyond reading the book
Time-bound No- an interval is not specified
22
Revising Teacher C’s Goal
I will read the book, Math Tools, Grades 3-12: 60+ Ways to Build Mathematical Practices, Differentiate Instruction, and Increase Student Engagement by Harvey F. Silver, John R. Brunsting, Terry Walsh and Edward J. Thomas, by October 30th, identify one new practice each month to implement in the classroom from November to May, and discuss implementation results at my monthly PLC meeting with my Algebra I teammates.
23
Preparing SLOsStep 1D: Identify Strategies to Achieve SLO
Identify the strategies that will be used to address root causes to current student learning problems/needs and achieve student learning goals.
24
Preparing SLOsStep 1E: Evidence Sources for Measuring Goal Achievement
Identify the data sources that are most appropriate for measuring achievement of student outcomes goals AND strategy enactment.
(Appendix E, pp. 69-70)
25
SLO Options:Individual, District-wide, Team
26
Key Characteristics of Principal SLOs(Appendix F, pp. 71-72)
Baseline Data Analysis Informs Goals and Strategies• Why did you choose this objective (what student learning and root cause
problem(s) are you working to address), and what sources of data did you examine?
Student Outcome Goals Specify Learning Content, Student Population, and Time Interval
• Which content standard(s) and/or skills does the objective address? (e.g., Common Core)
• Which students are included in this objective?• What timeframe is involved? (typically year-long)
Strategies are Selected to Address Root Causes and Achieve Student Outcome Goals
• What strategies have been selected for addressing student learning and root cause problems/achieving student learning goals?
Evidence Sources are Identified for Measuring Goal Achievement AND Strategy Enactment
• How will you measure goal achievement AND strategy enactment?
27
Step 2 – Submit SLOs for Approval
• Principal submits SLOs to his/her evaluator via the EEP form (Appendix G, pp. 73-74).
• Evaluator approves SLOs/EEP or recommends revisions. (See Appendices E & F for SLO criteria)
• If revisions are required, the principal must revise the SLOs and re-submit the SLOs/EEP for approval.
• Evaluators should work with principals to revise the SLOs.

Rubric score will be collaboratively determined by educator and supervisor:
(4) Student growth has exceeded expectations
(3) Student growth has met expectations
(2) Student growth has partially met expectations
(5) Student growth has minimally met expectations
(0) Evidence missing, incomplete or unreliable/ did not engage in process

(6) 50-69% of students met/exceeded their growth target
(7) Fewer than 50% of student met/exceeded their growth target

SLO Scoring Activity/Discussion
Discuss the following questions about Mrs. Smith’s (individually and as a group):– What score did you assign? Why?– In your group, did different individuals assign
different scores?– What are the implications of scoring
inconsistencies?– What processes can/should your district put in
place to increase scoring consistency?

SLO Scoring Rubric
41
SLO Scoring: Multiple Dimensions
• SLO Scoring involves at least two important factors: how many students made what amount of growth? • Is it better to have 80% of students barely
meet their growth goal or 70% exceed theirs considerably?
42
Technical and Measurement Considerations: SLO Scoring
Goal for this step of the process is to:
• Balance the flexibility to establish school-specific goals (since not all schools have the same problems to the same degree)
• With some degree of comparability (so that results mean the same thing across schools)
43
Overall EE Pilot Participant Question
What in Educator Effectiveness am I required to do, and where does my flexibility/judgment start?
44
Definition of Effective Educators
Effective Principal: An effective principal shapes school strategy and educational practices that foster the intellectual, social and emotional growth of children, resulting in measurable growth that can be documented in meaningful ways.
Wisconsin:
Principal Professional Practice is considered across 21 elements.
