5 District Decisions (recommended by 5/31/2012)

13

Note: These dates are recommended so NTI participants are prepared for their training sessions.

1. Assess and identify district priorities and academic needs.

2. Identify who will have State-provided growth measures and who must have SLOs as “comparable growth measures.”

3. Determine district rules for how specific SLOs will get set.

4. Establish expectations for scoring SLOs and for determining teacher ratings for the growth component.

5. Determine district-wide processes for setting, reviewing, and assessing SLOs in schools.

DECISION 1:ASSESS AND IDENTIFY DISTRICT PRIORITIES

AND NEEDS

Successful Practices Network

www.nyctecenter.org

Step 1. District Leaders Assess and Identify Priorities and Needs*• What are the District’s overall priorities, needs,

and long-term goals? • HINT: refer to your district strategic plans, and

ensure alignment to the Common Core.• HINT: remember that principals and teachers will

be held accountable to goals aligned with the district’s stated priorities.

• HINT: the more prescriptive district level goals are, the less variation you will see in (content and rigor of) school/classroom goals.

15

*See Attachment 1 and 2 of Resource 1: “New Paltz Educational Master Plan” and “Batavia City Schools Comprehensive District Education Plan” for two examples of districts whose goals and priorities set them up for learning and success.

DECISION 2:WHO NEEDS AN SLO FOR GROWTH MEASUREMENT?

Successful Practices Network

www.nyctecenter.org

Student Learning Objectives per Ed. Law 3012-C

Student Learning Objectives (SLOs). Per Education Law 3012-c, 40 per-cent of teacher and principal evaluations must be based on student achievement. This 40 percent is broken down into two components for 2011-12: 20 percent on student growth on State assessments or compar-able measure, and 20 percent on other locally-selected measures. For teachers where there is no State-provided measure of student growth, comparable measures must be used. Under the Regulations, this is referred to as the State-determined growth goal setting process. Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) are the State-determined process. Training courses must provide training on a student growth percentile model and value-added growth model, and for teachers where there is no State-provided measure of student growth available, training must be provided on comparable measures of growth which are Student Learning Objectives (SLOs). Training courses must also provide training on the application and use of any State-approved locally selected measures of student achieve-ment: SLOs are a State-approved locally selected measure.

NYSED SLO FrameworkAll SLOs MUST include the following basic components:

Student

PopulationWhich students are being addressed?

Learning ContentWhat is being taught? CCSS/National/State standards? Will this goal apply to all standards applicable to a course or just to specific priority standards?

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?

BaselineWhat is the starting level of learning for students covered by this SLO?

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?24

DECISION 3: HOW WILL SLOs GET SET?

Successful Practices Network

www.nyctecenter.org

NYSED SLO Framework

A student learning objective is an academic goal for a teacher’s students that is set at the start of a course. • It represents the most important learning for

the year (or, semester, where applicable). • It must be specific and measurable, based on

available prior student learning data, and aligned to Common Core, State, or national standards, as well as any other school and district priorities.

• Teachers’ scores are based upon the degree to which their goals were attained.

• Source: Page 4 of Guidance on the New York State District-Wide Growth Goal Setting Process: Student Learning Objectives

Note on Rubric: Each student’s work will be scored by two other district middle school visual arts teachers using the following rubric, with both teachers’ scores being averaged to yield the final student scores.

Successful Practices Network

www.nyctecenter.org

BaselineThis is the level of students’ knowledge and skill in the targeted learning content at the beginning of the interval of instructional time.

Describe how students performed on the identified pre-assessment(s) for the learning content, including any additional data that informed SLO development. (Actual baseline scores for each student are required.)

38

Successful Practices Network

www.nyctecenter.org

Baseline • Describes how students performed on the

identified pre-assessment(s).• Provides a baseline score for each student

in the SLO.• Indicates via pre-assessment data a clear need

for focusing on this learning content.• Multiple data sources are used (in addition to

pre-assessment data) to set appropriate targets, make instructional decisions, and drive student growth.

39

Successful Practices Network

www.nyctecenter.org

Target(s)

This is the numeric achievement goal which articulates the amount that students will have to grow during the interval of instructional time.

Define numeric growth goals for student performance on identified summative assessment(s) which measure student knowledge and skill in the learning content. (Actual final scores for each student are required.)

40

Successful Practices Network

www.nyctecenter.org

Target(s)• Provides a target statement.• Provides a specific growth goal for each student.• Sets targets consistent with district-level

expectations for target-setting in this grade/subject.

• Requires students to make at least a year’s growth in a year’s time, with students below grade level being required to grow more than a year’s growth in a year’s time.

• Requires 80% or more of students, including special populations, to meet their individual goals.

• Includes goals for special student populations that are equally challenging and rigorous as those for other students, considering each student’s starting point.

• Highly effective, • Effective, • Developing, and • Ineffective

Provides specific descriptions of student learning for each rating category.

45

Successful Practices Network

www.nyctecenter.org

HEDI• Categorizes all possible scoring results in the HEDI

structure such that – Highly effective = exceeds district expectations– Effective = meets district expectations– Developing = is below district expectations– Ineffective = is well below district expectations

• Is mathematically possible for the teacher to obtain every point value within a rating category.

• Allocates points clearly and objectively within a HEDI rating category.

46

Successful Practices Network

www.nyctecenter.org

HEDI• Requires 80% or more of students, including special

populations, to meet their individual goals to earn 9 points (minimum rating in the “effective” category).
