SO WHY USE SLOS?SLOs are one way to assess teacher impact on student performance that involves the teacher in the process of goal setting, monitoring, and assessing of student progress within the expertise of their own content area.

5. Establishing Summative

What do we expect students to learn?
How will we know if students have learned it?
What will we do if they don’t learn it?
What will we do if they already know it?
Students who start the course having already
mastered significant key knowledge and skills
Students who start the course appropriately prepared to meet
the demands of the course
Students who are in need of an intensive intervention having yet to
master prerequisite knowledge and skills

The reality is that some will surpass and some will fall short so the rubric will compensate for adjustment.

POSITIVE MESSAGINGQuestion Message
“Why focus on “mastery” or “proficiency” of the content for Group B Teachers?

SLO GROWTH STATEMENT
A measure of student growth between two points in time in order to master the standards in the content area and to close the achievement gap.

OPTION #1: LEVELS OF PREPAREDNESS
GROWTH APPROACH
High Level of Preparedness
• All students will increase their growth score by at least 45 %
Adequate Level of Preparedness
• All students will increase their growth score by at least 55 %
Low Level of Preparedness
• All students will increase their growth score by at least 65 %
Differentiates the amount of growth for each individual student based on a prescribed formula and/or rubric
Option #2: Individualized Growth Statement

STATEMENTS
Each of the targeted students will move over at least one category on DIBELS by May 2015.
JIGSAW ACTIVITY1. How do SLOs benefit students? How could using
SLOs improve student learning?
2. How do SLOs benefit teachers? Why are they worth the effort?
3. How do SLOs benefit principals? Why should principals prioritize SLO implementation?

Assessment Quality Check!
VALIDITY AND RELIABILITYValid: An assessment is valid when the test items are representative of the actual skills/concepts taught and is administered consistently.
Reliable: A reliable assessment provides consistent results across different administrations, thus yielding similar results on different occasions.

NOT YET READYMOVING TOWARDS
READINESS
READY TO IMPLEMENT SLOs
The LEA has a limited number of high-quality assessments available.
The LEA is working to develop more high-quality baseline assessments, end-of-course assessments, and formative assessments.
The LEA has high-quality common assessments for all grades and subjects.
