  1. The SLO Process Denver Public Schools Assessment, Research and Evaluation, 2014

  2. Objectives • Understand the rationale for implementing Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) • Understand the SLO Process and its key components • Understand the evolution from Student Growth Objectives (SGOs) to SLOs • Understand the resources available to support you in the SLO Process this year

  3. What is the Student Learning Objective (SLO) Process? An improved process for DPS educators to set ambitious learning goals for students and measure their progress toward attaining them • An SLO goal should span an entire course (e.g., a school year, a semester, etc.) and capture learning that is critical for student success in the future.

  4. Why SLOs? Denver Plan Goal #3 “DPS will dramatically increase the number of successful college- and career-prepared graduates.” District Foci 2014-15 (and corresponding LEAP Indicators) • Rigor (I.2) • Differentiation (I.6) • Data Driven Instruction (P.2)

  5. From SGOs to SLOs SLOs leverage more than a decade of learning about SGOs

  6. Student Growth Measures (2014-15) • Senate Bill 165 passed, providing districts with greater flexibility for the 2014-15 school year around student growth measures • In collaboration with DCTA, DPS has decided to take advantage of the new law and will not include student growth data as 50% of a teacher’s overall LEAP rating in 2014-15. • If a teacher’s calculated rating falls close to two different categories, a school leader will review a body of evidence in order to determine the final rating.

  7. SLOs and LEAP (2014-15) • In 2014-15, all teachers will have a year to practice and learn how to effectively use SLOs. • As we continue to learn how to use SLOs across all of our schools in 2014-15, we will also work toward using them as a measure for Student Growth in LEAP. • DPS and DCTA have not yet determined how SLOs will be used as a measure of Student Growth for LEAP; additional details will be provided as they become available.

  8. SGO ProComp Incentive (2014-15) • DPS and DCTA are still finalizing how the SGO ProComp Incentive will be awarded for the 2014-15 school year: • The current DPS and DCTA contract agreement is that SLO engagement (participation by the individual teacher, not outcomes) will replace SGOs in 14-15 ProComp, • But this is pending DPS/DCTA agreement (needed by Aug 18, 2014) on what constitutes sufficient engagement in the process.

  9. Corresponding LEAP Indicators • P.1 – Demonstrates and applies knowledge of students’ development, needs, interests and culture to promote equity • P.2 -  Uses students’ data to plan and differentiate instruction. • P.3 - Collaborates with school teams to positively impact students’ outcomes • I.2 - Provides rigorous tasks that require critical thinking with appropriate digital and other supports to ensure students’ success • I.6 - Provides differentiation that addresses students’ instructional needs and supports mastery of standards.
