Background and Basics of SLOs
Steps to Plan and Implement SLOs for the Growth Component of Teacher Evaluation
NYS has a new teacher evaluation system that will help ensure our children get a first rate education.
student growth on State assessments “other
comparable measures” locally selected measures of student achievement
This document focuses on using SLOs as comparable measures of student growth.
NY State’s Regulations governing teacher evaluation call for a “State-determined District-wide growth goal setting process.”
Student learning objects, as described in this document is the State determined process.
Focuses on student learning objectives (SLOs) as a
comparable growth measure for those teachers who are
not covered by State-provided Growth measures.
SLOs are most effective when
they fully support the goal of raising
student achievement for
all students.
Informed by and help drive success of, district priorities and needs
An integral part of an educator’s practice
Accountability for student learning growth of ALL students
Encourages systematic and
strategic instructional
decisions
Measures of student learning should be fair and comparable across all educators
Rigorous and ambitious SLOs used with date= higher academic performance
ALL SLOs Including the following basic components
Student Population
Which students are being addressed?
Learning Content What is being taught? CCSS/National/State Standards? Will this goal apply to standards applicable to all content areas or just to specific priority standards?
Interval of Instructional Time
What is the instructional period covered?
Evidence What assessment or student work products will be used to measure this goal?
Baseline What is the starting level for students covered by this SLO ?
Targets What is the expected outcome (target) by the end of the instructional period?
HEDI Criteria How will educators 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?
Determine District-wide priorities and academic needs.› commitments and focus areas › State-determined SLO requirements,
consider how to construct growth measures that address needs
› within the Growth Component SLO process how prescriptive the District will be
50-100% Students Covered by
State-Provided Growth Measures
0-49% Students Covered by State-Provided Growth Measures
These teachers will receive a Growth Score from the State (20-25 evaluation points)
E.g. 4-8 ELA, Math, Common Branch teachers
These teachers MUST have SLOs (20 points)1.If any course/section has State-provided growth measures, at least 1 SLO MUST use it.2.SLOs MUST cover the courses taught with the largest number of students, combining sections with common assessments, until a majority of students are covered.3.If any of the largest courses have a State assessment (but do not have State-provided growth measures), the State assessments MUST be used as evidence in the SLO.
E.g. K-3 teachers, teachers with mix of sections with/without State-provided growth measures (e.
No Are there grades/subjects where the District wants to prioritize buying or creating additional
District-wide assessments
What will the District require for any remaining teachers who are not yet
covered ?
Are there groups of teachers where school-or-BOCES wide, group, or
team results based on State assessments are the most
appropriate?
Will District require the use of existing, common District-wide assessments fir any specific grade/subject?
Identify which grades/subjects and assessments:1.From NYSED’s list of approved State or 3rd party?2.District, regional or BOCES developed?
Yes
Scoring SLOs which incorporate a State-provided measure:For any SLO that incorporates a State
assessment with a State-provided growth measure it must utilize the same HEDI expectations as the State provided growth measures for that state assessment
HEDI must be based on the State-provided scale
