SLO writing workshop

Recognition for our Evaluation Volunteers

• Our outstanding veteran teachers who have volunteered to take part in the process for setting Student Learning Objectives.

• These professionals are a valuable asset to the process as we learn how to refine it.

Objectives

Gain a basic understanding of student learning objectives (SLOs) and the annual development process.

Participate in a SLO Writing Workshop. 3

Student Learning DataRegulation, Recommendations, Resources

Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) are a measurable, long-term, academic goals informed by available data that a district, team of teachers, or teacher sets at the beginning of the year or instructional period for all students or for subgroups of students.

Districts are encouraged to use SLOs as measures of a teacher or administrator’s students learning.

SLO Assessments How are they selected?

Assessment Selection Recommendations

• Student Learning Objectives using• district existing assessments • teacher teams for selection & target setting

(e.g. grade levels and subject areas)• use assessment data for historical information

to establish baseline

• Pilot: One measure (version 1.0)

• Implementation: Two measures (version 2.0)

Using the Growth Targets established in the SLO, determine the growth target for each of the eleven students on the class roster.

Use Data to Choose Your Focus

Use baseline and/or trend data at the beginning of the year to determine areas where your students clearly need support and growth.

Selecting a Standard Focus for Growth – Recommendations;

If you teach English/Language Arts, select 2 from the ELA Standards

If you teach Math, select 2 from the Math Standards

If you teach science, social studies, or other technical classes, select 1 from the Literacy Standards, and 1 from either the ELA Standards or Math Standards

Your Baseline Data

What assessments would help you to get your baseline data to measure student growth against these standards?

What assessments would help you monitor progress toward targets?

Step 3: Mid-Year Review

Review Student Data

Collegial Conversation & Feedback: An essential step

Possible Summative if semester only. Identify Any Needed Changes

Instructional practice, student support services, and professional development, possible reset of goals

“Feedback is essential for learning at the individual, group, or organizational level. It is

feedback that can help people see the discrepancy between what they think they are doing and what they are actually doing. It is feedback that can interrupt the defensive

reasoning or routines that happen with individuals and groups. It is feedback that allows people to recognize and eliminate error and thus allows

learning to occur. It can show people where new skills and capabilities need to be developed and

lead to insights into ways to improve work processes & practices.”

Method #2: Class-wide Minimum Rigor Target

All students have a minimum rigor target for what would reflect the “Meets” level of performance.

Example: All my students will score 70 of 100 on the post assessment.

Method #4: Banded/Range-based/Tiered

Group students together based on their pre-assessment scores.

Divide students into three or more categories (low, medium, high).

Set target for each of the categories.

Target Setting Matching Activity

5. Not a growth target

Indicate on your handout which target setting method each of the provided target statements represent:

1. Individual Growth 2. Class-wide Minimum Rigor3. Basic Growth4. Banded/Range-based/Tiered5. Not a Growth Target

Which target setting methods make sense for your situation? Why?

To Review

Many things should be considered when setting targets.

Various target-setting models are available and should be purposefully selected.

The “I noticed…” and the “I wonder…” conversations provides the opportunity for reflections that can lead to more meaningful support and professional learning. 44
