Before we get to our:Orientation to Student Learning Objectives
Parking Lot Activity
• Throughout the day, post questions at your parking lot.
• Periodically, remind Tammy Jo to check “parking lots.”
• Everyone is encouraged to respond to questions.
TAKE AWAY WINDOW
1) FOLD A PIECE OF PAPER HAMBURGER STYLE
2) Write “TAKE AWAY WINDOW” on the front flap. Look for
moments.3) Write “ACTION STEPS” on the back
flap.
WHAT DO WE KNOW??
• On a sticky note or a sheet of paper… Number the paper 1-7.

BUILDING THE VISUAL
• Use the PINK small sticky notes on your table. • POSTERS ON THE WALL --Put a pink
note under the number rating you gave yourself for each statement.
S.M.A.R.T. Growth GoalA.K.A. OUR “S.L.0.”
By the end of the day, all of the participants in the training will rate
themselves as a 3 or 4 for each of the seven
statements given.
Seven 1-minute Conversations
1. For each statement, Find another person that gave themselves a different rating than you.
2. 1 minute conversation – Share what you already know or do not know about the given statement. Let the higher ranking go first. If you ranked yourself a 1, ask a follow up question for better clarification.
3. Don’t forget to quickly introduce yourself! Mingle with teachers from different schools and get to know each other.
Agenda
Morning: What is an S.L.O? How does it connect to the Charlotte Danielson Framework?How does it connect to Teacher Evaluations? What are the 4 steps in the S.L.O. Process?
Afternoon: How do I Write an S.L.O. using the Process Guide? How will my Growth Rating be calculated? Discussing and Understanding all the options!!

A Little Bit of History
• South Dakota’s work to develop meaningful educator effectiveness systems is united by a common aspiration: To improve instruction and student learning.– The 2010 Teacher Standards Workgroup
– Adopted Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching now known as The SD Framework for Teaching
– The 2011-2012 Teacher Standards Pilot Districts– The 2012 Teacher Evaluation Workgroup– The SD Commission of Teaching and Learning– The 2013-2014 Teacher Effectiveness Pilot participants– The 2013-2014 Principal Effectiveness Pilot participants– The University of South Dakota
More History…
• Evaluations in the past in SD• Teacher evaluation and NCLB waiver• SD Teacher Effectiveness Model: 2 parts–Professional practice (SD Framework for
Teaching)– Student Growth
• How does it all fit together?
The Aspiration: Improve Instruction and Student Learning
1. Encourage meaningful, in-depth dialogue focused on improving instruction
2. Provide regular, timely, useful feedback that guides professional growth
3. Support a culture in which data drives instructional decisions4. Establish clear expectations for teacher performance5. Use multiple measures to meaningfully determine and
differentiate teacher performance6. Provide a fair, flexible, research-based model that informs
personnel decisions.

Student GrowthStudent 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 ObjectiveA 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.
Let’s Define It!
Definition of a Teacher
• (a) Provides instruction to any grade, kindergarten through grade twelve, or ungraded class or who teaches in an environment other than a classroom setting;
• (b) Maintains daily student records;• (c) Has completed an approved teacher education program
at an accredited institution or completed an alternative certification program;
• (d) Has been issued a South Dakota certificate; and• (e) Is not serving as a principal, assistant principal,
superintendent, or assistant superintendent.
How many SLOs?
A minimum of 1 SLO per teacher is required.• Teachers can write more, but only one
is required by the state and used for evaluation purposes.
• Districts may require more than one SLO.

Vocabulary Check- TJ’s version
Student Learning Objective: shares a teacher- driven goal or set of goals that ‐establish expectations for student academic growth over a period of time (the SLO is more global like at least a semester or year long time-frame… when comparing to a SLT)Student Learning Target/Outcome: Describes daily expectations regarding student learning…often what teachers post in the classroomBaseline Assessment: Defines the students current level of understanding, skill, knowledge, performance, This is the starting point for growth goal.Summative Assessment: Defines the students final level of understanding, skill, knowledge, performance. This is the end point for growth goal.Progress Update: Defines the students progress toward, and checks for progress toward growth goal.
• Coming next! Example of the heart of the Student Learning Objective…

2.What is the student population for my S.L.O.??? (Where are they starting? How many of them are there?)
3.What assessment will I use to measure student learning and growth???
(What is available? What is appropriate? What level is it assessing?)
What do I want my students to know and be able to do?
– Identify the core concepts and standards.• What resources might you use to determine
big/essential ideas?– i.e. blueprints, disaggregated standards,
curriculum maps, power standards, national standards, content standards and common core standards

What Will Be the Scope of SLOs? We have three choices!
Comprehensive Scope Essential Skills and Content Focused Scope
(e.g., all Grade 8 Common Core State Standards for English language arts [ELA])
(e.g., all Grade 8 Common Core State Standards for informational text in ELA)
(e.g., Grade 8 Common Core State Standards for evaluating arguments and claims in text)
Strengths Drawbacks Strengths Drawbacks Strengths Drawbacks
• Covers all learning• May work
well for courses that already have finals or cert. exams
• Can be difficult or cumbersome to assess well
• Focuses on most important learning
• Can still be difficult to assess well• Involves
judgment to determine what is most important
• Can focus on area of need• Easiest
of the three to assess
• Not representative of the learning that occurred during the course

Where are my students starting?
1. Gather and analyze data to determine how well prepared students are to learn core concepts.– Know your students – Consider which students will be addressed by
this SLO– Consider special needs
and behaviors
Choosing a Student Population
What if…?1. S.L.O. is written for all of the Algebra I
students. (ex. Periods 1, 4, 6, and 7)2. S.L.O. is written for one specific Algebra I
class. (Ex. Just Period 1 Algebra Class)
What are the strengths and weaknesses of each scenario?
Elbow Discussion, Table Discussion, Group Discussion
88
Examples:• The S.L.O. for Algebra I
we just discussed• A social studies
teacher writes an SLO that includes the students from his U.S. history classes (class periods 1, 3, 5, and 6) .
Strengths Drawbacks
• Accounts more accurately for the students taught by the teacher
• Reduces measurement error because numbers of students included in the SLO is high
• Can be difficult for educators without a course (e.g., special educators, specialists)
• May increase the amount of data analysis teachers need to conduct
Course-Level SLO
Examples:• The S.L.O. for one class of
Algebra I we just discussed• A social studies teacher
writes an SLO that includes the students from his period 3 U.S. history class.
• A Grade 3 teacher includes all 24 of her students in a reading SLO.
Strengths Drawbacks• May
reduce the amount of data collection and analysis teachers need to conduct
• Can be difficult for teachers without a formal course (e.g., special educators, specialists)
• Can place emphasis on one class over another
• May not as accurately account for a teacher’s students

What Assessments are Available?
• Select or develop an appropriate assessment to measure student learning and growth.
• Content assessed at baseline is comparable to content assessed at the end of instruction
• Describe how the goal attainment will be measured.
Is Assessment Appropriate?
• Aligned to priority content & standards• Measures what it was designed to measure• Produces accurate and consistent picture of
what student know & do• Gives sufficient time to administer and
generates data in a timely fashion
“More Common” = More Widely Used
STATE MANDATED ASSESSMENTSThis category includes assessments mandated for use statewide and includes assessments required by state and federal law.Examples: Smarter Balanced Assessment, Dakota Step Science Assessment (or the state-required science assessment)
COMMON STATE AND DISTRICT ASSESSMENTSThis category includes assessments not mandated for state use but are widely used by several districts and schools. Assessments in this category include commercially available assessments, district-developed pre- and post-tests or course-level assessments. Assessments could also take the form of established rubric-scored performance-based assessments.Examples: Assessments available through the South Dakota Assessment Portal, End-of-Course Exams, Write-to-Learn, WIDA-Access Placement Test (English-Language learners), National Career Readiness Certificate, DIBELS, AP Exams, STARS reading/math, MAPS, AIMS Web, CTE Performance Contests/Judging.
TEACHER-DEVELOPED ASSESSMENTSThis category of assessments includes classroom assessments used by a single course for a particular teacher.

WRITING THE GROWTH GOAL
•GROWTH GOALS ARE THE HEART OF THE S.L.O. –They Should be S.M.A.R.T. !!!!
(Smart) Specific
• Does the SLO state exactly what learning content needs to be addressed and the specific standards to which the learning content relates?• Is the learning content aligned to
Common Core State Standards, state content standards or credible national standards?
(sMart) Measurable
• Standards-based assessment?• Comparable across classrooms?• Measures are stated by increases in:– Rate,– Percentage,– Number,– Level of performance,– Rubric standards, – Gain Score or– Other ways…
(smArt) Appropriate
• Was the SLO developed using baseline data that is comparable between the beginning and end of the instructional period?
• Is the SLO directly related to a teacher’s subject, grade-level and students?
• For a Class Mastery Goal, does the goal include all students in the class or course?
• For a Differentiated Growth Goal, does the goal include a growth goal for all groups of students?
(smaRt) Realistic & Rigorous
• Does the SLO contain a growth goal that identifies expected student growth that stretches the outer boundary of what is attainable?• Is the SLO rigorous when compared
to SLOs established by teachers in similar grades/subjects?
(smarT) Time-bound
• Does the SLO have a time frame for accomplishing the measurable objective?• Is there ongoing progress monitoring data
for adjusting the learning experience toward the goal?• Is the data collected between 2 points in
time, as close to beginning and ending of course as possible?
BREAK TIME
• TIME FOR A BREAK! 10 MINUTESThinking about: “In the SLO process, teachers write student growth goals using the SMART format.”• As the following music ends, it is the

• ~L.M. email 06.23.14
REMEMBER…
REMEMBER:The Growth Goal is one component of the entire SLO.
Establishes tiered expectations for student growth for groups of students. The educators define what growth looks like for each group of students.
Growth Goals
Differentiated Growth
Based on quality baseline data and educator-determined definition of mastery. Goal is structured based on percent of students attaining mastery.
Class Mastery
Teams of teachers agree to work collaboratively and share responsibility/accountability for student learning for a content area, grade level or school.
Shared Performance
By the end of the first semester, all students that obtained a score in the D or F range will improve by at least two letter grades and all students that obtained a score in the C or B range will improve by one letter grade. A score in the A range should improve their percentage.
Growth Goal Example Statements
Differentiated Growth
By the end of the first semester, All students will reach 90% proficiency in simplifying algebraic expressions and solving algebraic equations that are linear, quadratic, rational, and radical.
Class Mastery
By the end of the school year, all students in the middle school will show at least a 15% improvement in their score on the assessment dealing with the probability and statistics standards for their grade level.

Growth Goal:Establish expectations for student growth.
What can I expect my students to achieve? Establish rigorous expectations for student performance. (1b 1c)
By the end of the first semester, all students that obtained a score in the D or F range will improve by at least two letter grades and all students that obtained a score in the C or B range will improve by one letter grade. A score in the A range should improve their percentage.
Growth Goal Example Statements
Differentiated Growth
By the end of the first semester, All students will reach 90% proficiency in simplifying algebraic expressions and solving algebraic equations that are linear, quadratic, rational, and radical.
Class Mastery
By the end of the school year, all students in the middle school will show at least a 15% improvement in their score on the assessment dealing with the probability and statistics standards for their grade level.

Step 4
Figure where your scores must be
according to your growth goal.
For example: For 80% growth – use the
formula.
Low growth is less than 65%
High growth is 86-100% of your goal
Expected growth is 65 – 85%
For the 2013-2014 school year, I can expect measurable growth for all of my students in fiction/non fiction stories/texts. 90% of my students will be at benchmark as measured by the DIBELS Next assessment.

The Aspiration: Improve Instruction and Student Learning
1. Encourage meaningful, in-depth dialogue focused on improving instruction
2. Provide regular, timely, useful feedback that guides professional growth
3. Support a culture in which data drives instructional decisions4. Establish clear expectations for teacher performance5. Use multiple measures to meaningfully determine and
differentiate teacher performance6. Provide a fair, flexible, research-based model that informs
personnel decisions.
