Guiding Questions for SLO’sWhat are the goals
for student learning?
How will we know that they were met?
If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else. --Lawrence Peter

Objectives
What is a Student Learning Objective?A goal statement for students’ learning
Measured by predetermined evidence
That results in a growth score for the teacher.
Who Needs an SLO?4-8 ELA & Math
Teachers will have their Growth Score provided by the State
ALL other teachers need SLO’s to be created
Who is a Teacher?Anyone whose subject requires teacher
certificationIncludes all subject areas,Media specialists & librariansSpeech teachers- new clarification on this one,
No unless a class is assigned to the teacherAIS, ESL, Special Ed.
Does NOT include:GuidancePT/OT/Counselors/School Psychologists
What Is an SLO Based On? Teachers of subjects culminating in a State
Assessment must use that assessment within their SLO
All other subjects have assessment options Some teachers will need to have multiple
SLO’s
How Many SLO’s? If teachers teach more than one group or
class, their SLO’s must cover:50% or more of their studentsStarting with their largest sectionsIncluding every student in each class included
Teachers of multiple classes/subjects will need multiple SLO’s until they meet the 50% rule
K-3 teachers will need an SLO for both Literacy & Math
Guidance from NYSED
Teacher Category Growth Score Provided by State
Growth Score from SLO
K-2 Teachers Future Possibility 1 SLO for ELA1 for Math
Grade 3 Teachers Future Possibility 1 SLO for ELA1 for Math (unless teacher teaches a single subject only)
Grade 4-8 ELA & Math Teachers
YES N/A
Grade 4-8 Science & Social Studies Teachers
Future Likely 1 SLO for each subject/assessmentSLO’s must cover courses with highest enrollment until over 50% of students are includedGrades 4 & 8 Science must use State Assessments
4-8 Other Subject Area Teachers
NO
Librarians & Media Specialists
NO Yes. May have individual SLO, or may participate in team SLO with school ELA or other results
Teacher Category State Provided Growth Score
SLO-Provided Growth Score
9-12 Regents Subjects NO 1 SLO for each area until 50% rule satisfiedMust use Regents as the assessment
9-12 Other Subjects NO 1 SLO for each area until 50% rule satisfiedTeachers with a Mix of Subjects/Courses
NO Create SLO’s for largest courses until 50% rule met
Self-Contained Teachers(ESL, Special Ed, Bilingual)
YES, if > 50% of students take 4-8 ELA or Math
If fewer than 50% take 4-8 ELA or Math,1 SLO for ELA1 SLO for Math(Unless teacher teaches a single subject area)
Any Co-TeachersMust share the same Growth Measure
YES, as applicable, and as State can track teacher of record
Otherwise, for Common Branch teachers:1 SLO for ELA1 SLO for Math (unless teacher teaches single subject)For other subject areas:Set SLO for relevant subject area
Any Push-In, Pull-Out Teachers(AIS, ESL, SWD, Speech)
As applicable; State has record rules of dosage
If no State-provided measure:1 SLO for subject area focusOR use team approach for State Assessment
Teachers with Students Taking these Assessments
State Provided Growth Measure
Growth is SLO if…
NYSESLAT YES if > 50% take State ELA assessment
Future possibility of State Growth measure using NYSESLAT
If this is an ELA teacher, teacher will have an SLO if > 10 students take the NYSESLAT. Teacher must still have an SLO using the ELA assessment.
Teacher is ESL specialist & NYSESLAT is most appropriate measurement of student learning
NYSAA Only if > 50% take State Assessment with growth score
If this is a teacher required to set SLO’s, then:1 SLO will use the NYSAA for evidence1 SLO will be on subject area(s) taught

HOW SLO’s ARE SETDistrict Office:
Has final authority over SLO’sDetermines guidelines for SLO development
(e.g. may require a writing portion; may stipulate that all SLO’s have a target of 85% students reaching proficiency)
Determines the assessments to be used for SLO’s
Determines HEDI bands
How SLO’s Are Set, cont.Teachers:
Pre-assess their students (in fall, or spring the year before)
Propose their SLO’s based on their pre-assessment results
Principals:Approve &/or revise teachers’ SLO’sEnsure comparability across content areas &
grades
Assessment Options3rd party purchased assessments – must be
from the NYSED-approved list, OR
Regionally or district-created assessments
&
May include performance tasks, products, as well as traditional examinations
Pre-AssessmentsThe purpose of the pre-assessment is to give enough
information to set a proficiency target for each class
It does not need to be identical to the post-assessment
The teacher (& district) chooses the pre-assessment
Pre-assessments are delivered in September-October (or at beginning of semester for semester-length courses)
Post-AssessmentsThe same post-assessment must be used by
every teacher of a particular course & level
Post-Assessments must be scored by someone other than the teacher of record
What do SLO’s look like
NYSED SLO Framework
21
All SLOs MUST include the following basic components:
Student
PopulationWhich students are being addressed?
Learning ContentWhat is being taught? CCSS & Other standards?Should include the most important learning outcomes.
Interval of Instructional Time
What is the instructional period covered (if not a year, rationale for semester/quarter/etc)?
EvidenceWhat assessment(s) or student work product(s) will be used to measure this goal?
Baseline
What is the starting level of learning for students covered by this SLO?Based on assessment data (which can include performance.)
Target(s)What is the expected outcome (target) by the end of the instructional period?
HEDI Criteria
How will evaluators determine what range of student performance “meets” the goal (effective) versus “well-below” (ineffective) , “below” (developing), and “well-above” (highly effective)?
Rationale Why choose this learning content, evidence and target?

Baseline
Running records & writing samples from September, 2012 indicated average Reading Level of C with 80% comprehension & a 2 on the Writing Rubric.
Target(s)
85% of all students will achieve at least 80 points(Points awarded by combination F and P score & writing benchmark)
HEDI Criteria
85-100 points = H 75-85 = E65-75 = D 0-65 = I

RationaleDescribes WHY for this
Learning Content, Evidence & Target
TargetsAre set
collaboratively by teachers & principals
After pre-assessment data has been reviewed (typically in the fall)
For each SLO
Target Approach 1 - Growth
• Target Example: 85% of students will grow by 60 percentage points or more on their post-test compared to their pre-test for the standards.
27
Student Pre-Test Score Summative Target
Student A 10 70
Student B 20 80
Student C 5 65
Student D 0 60
Student E 30 90
Student F 10 70
This kind of target only works if the pre-test is the same as the post-test
Target Approach 2 - Mastery Example: 85% of students, including special populations, will score 75% or higher on the summative assessment.
28
Student Pre-Test Score Summative Target
Student A 10 75
Student B 20 75
Student C 5 75
Student D 0 75
Student E 30 75
Student F 10 75
Target Approach 3: Individualized Target(s) Example: 85% of students, including special populations, will meet or exceed their individualized target.
29
Student Pre-Test Score Summative Target
Student A 10 80
Student B 20 80
Student C 5 75
Student D 0 70
Student E 30 85
Student F 10 80
Individualized targets are set based on multiple sources of baseline DATA.Cannot be based just on an IEP.
Other Kinds of TargetsBands, e.g.:
Those with baseline scores of 0-24 have targets of 65
Those with baseline scores of 25-35 will have target of 75+
Those with baseline scores of 36+ have target of 85+
Matching HEDI Score to Targets
31
Highly Effective*(18-20 points)
Effective*(9-17 points)
Developing*(3-8 points)
Ineffective*(0-2 points)
Student results well above the target set in September.
Student results meet the target.
Student results below the target.
Student results substantially below the target.
• Districts create rules for HEDI scores.• The target set by the teacher & principal in September describes Effective Performance.
Example: Teacher with 3 SLO’s for 75 Students Overall
SLO 1 (30 Students)
SLO 2(25 Students)
SLO 3(20 Students)
Step 1: Assess results of each SLO separately.
17/20 pointsEffective.
15/20 pointsEffective
19/20 pointsHighly Effective
Step 2: Weight each SLO proportionately.
30 Students/75 Total = 40%
25 students/75 = 33%
20 students/75 = 27%
Step 3: Calculate proportional points for each SLO.
17 points x 40 = 7 points
15 points x 33 = 5 points
19 points x 27 = 5 points
OVERALL GROWTH COMPONENT SCORE: 7 + 5+ 5 = 17 points/ Effective.(round to the nearest whole number.)
What’s NextDistricts set guidelines for SLO development
Districts identify assessments for each subject area & grade level
Regional work will take place this fall to create assessments for:Music K-12Art K-12Physical Education K-12Foreign LanguageSocial Studies 6-9 and all other subject areas
The SLO Timeline for TeachersSeptember/October:
Verify students in your roster(s)Administer & score pre-assessmentsSet targets for each class & subject Meet with principal for revision/approval
Midyear:Meet collaboratively to analyze progress towards
targets
Spring (or end of semester):Administer post-assessmentGrowth score is calculatedMeet with principal about results
Keeping the Purpose In Sight:What are the goals
for student learning?
How will we know that they were met?
