  2. Norms for the Day • Listen with Engagement • Honor Each Other’s Thinking • Honor Private Think Time • Everyone has a Voice • Be Respectful of all Comments • Limit Side Conversation • Take Care of Your Needs • Cell Phones Off/Vibrate

  3. Outcomes • Develop deeper awareness of quality SLOs • Use the SLO checklist to assess quality of SLOs • Review the evolution of SLOs • Assess the quality sample SLOs • Practice SLO peer coaching conversations • Review and revise your SLOs in preparation for your SLO approval

  4. Why are we here?

  5. SLO FAQ • Didn’t my teachers walk out with a 100% completed SLO?

  6. No, SLOs will not be 100% complete because teachers did not have any baseline data to use to set goals. • Teachers were given work time and could complete a fair amount. They can pre-assess students when school starts, fill in the baseline data, and set goals.

  7. Where are you at? • How many of got a start on your SLO this summer? • How many of you have benchmarked? • Talk to your elbow partner about your benchmark data? - were there any surprises? - how did it guide your SLO? - what do you expect from your mid-point assessment - how did your benchmark assessment lead you to determine what strategies you will use?

  8. SLO Review

  9. Let’s Define It! Student Growth Student growth is defined as a positive change in student achievement between two or more points in time. Using a measure of student growth – as opposed to using student achievement results from a single test delivered at a single point in time – is more reflective of the impact an individual teacher has on student learning. Student Learning Objective A Student Learning Objective is a teacher-­‐driven goal or set of goals that establish expectations for student academic growth over a period of time. The specific, rigorous, realistic and measurable goal(s) must be based on baseline data and represent the most important learning that needs to occur during the instructional period. SLOs are aligned to applicable Common Core, state or national standards.

  10. SBAC DSTEP Science Individuals who teach sciences grades 5,8, or 11 must write an SLO based on science. • Individuals who teach ELA or math at grades 3-8, or 11 must write an SLO based on ELA or math. Grade 5 teachers who teach ELA, math, and science must select one of those content areas on which to write the SLO.

  11. Each teacher writes ONE SLO. • Teachers may write more than one, but only one will be used for evaluation of student growth. • Administrators may require teachers to write more than one, if desired. • IEP goals may not be substituted for SLOs.

  12. Teacher Student Growth Rating PERFORMANCE CATEGORY DESCRIPTION Low Less than 65% goal attainment Expected 65% to 85% goal attainment High 86% to 100% percent attainment

  13. The SLO Process SLO Development Prioritize Learning Content What do I want my students to be able to know and do? Analyze data and develop baselines Where are my students starting? SLO Approval Select or develop an assessment What assessments are available? Ongoing Communication Write growth goal What can I expect my students to achieve? Prepare for Summative
