- Student Learning Objectives NYS District-Wide Growth Goal
Setting Process December 1, 2011 EVOLVING
- Slide 2
- What are SLOs? A SLO is an academic goal for students set at
the start of the course Represents the most important learning of
the year (course). Based on available prior student learning data.
Specific and measurable. Aligned to CCLS and NYS Learning
Standards
- Slide 3
- SLO: Two Applications REQUIRED: Growth when there is no state
growth score All teachers other than 4-8 ELA and mathematics
OPTIONAL: Locally selected measures of student achievement
(encouraged)
- Slide 4
- SLOs ARE NOT: The same as district goals The same as data-
driven instruction Not an opportunity for free choice amongst a
teachers favorite unit tests Easy BUT Are informed by district
goals and priorities Reinforce DDI Require the use of evidence
robust enough to match the scope of the content If set with rigor
can contribute to higher student achievement
- Slide 5
- Coverage If less than 50% growth State-provided Growth Measure
(including none) If any course has a NYS growth measure, at least 1
SLO must use it SLOs must cover the courses taught with the most
students, combining until at least a majority of students covered
If any of the largest courses have a State (non- growth)
assessments, it must be used

- Components Student population Learning Content Time Interval

- Slide 12
- Student Learning Objectives Grade by Grade
- Slide 13
- K-2 Teachers Might someday have a State-provided growth measure
In the meantime SLO for ELA (literacy and writing) SLO for math
Unless teacher focuses on a single subject area
- Slide 14
- Grade 3 Teachers Might someday have a State-provided growth
measure In the meantime SLO for ELA (literacy and writing) SLO for
math Must use state assessment Unless teacher focuses on a single
subject area
- Slide 15
- 4-8 ELA & Math Teachers Has a State-provided growth measure
In the meantime SLOs not applicable
- Slide 16
- 4-8 Science & SS Teachers Will likely have a State-
provided growth measure in the future In the meantime SLO for each
subject/assessment SLO must cover classes with the largest numbers
of students until majority covered 4 & 8 science use State
assessment Others must choose 3 rd Party test from list
- Slide 17
- To clarify: Must use a State- approved 3 rd party assessment
6-7 science 6-8 social studies 9-12 ELA, math, science & SS w/o
Regents Must use State assessment 4 & 8 science Course w/
Regents NOT CLEAR
- Slide 18
- 4-8 Other Subject Teachers Will not have a State growth measure
Therefore, SLO for each subject/assessment SLO must cover classes
with the largest numbers of students until majority covered
- Slide 19
- 9-12 Regents Teachers Some will have a State-provided growth
measure in the future as available In the meantime SLO for each
subject/assessment SLO must cover classes with the largest numbers
of students until majority covered Use Regents exam
- Slide 20
- 9-12 Other Core Teachers Some will have a State-provided growth
measure in the future as available In the meantime SLO for each
subject/assessment SLO must cover classes with the largest numbers
of students until majority covered
- Slide 21
- 9-12 Other Teachers Will not have a State growth measure
Therefore, SLO for each subject/assessment SLO must cover classes
with the largest numbers of students until majority covered
- Slide 22
- Self-Contained Teachers Will use State-provided growth if more
than 50% of students are covered by growth measure If
