Review and Preview
• We have covered:– An introduction to Student Learning Objectives.– The components of a Student Learning Objective. – The template for communicating Student Learning
Objectives and supporting implementation tools.
• Next, we will cover:– The process for developing Student Learning Objectives. – The process for gathering and analyzing student
performance data.
The SLO Process: An Overview
Key Questions for Teachers
Through the SLO Process, teachers becomefluent in the answers to the following questions:
What do I expect my students to learn during their time in this course?
How will I know if they’ve learned it?
Teachers’ SLO Development Process
Teachers with teams:
- Review the standards with grade-level or content team.
- Analyze baseline data and student performance trends.
- Select common measure(s) for student learning.
Teachers without teams:
- Review the standards with teachers across LEA network or
- Collaborate with teachers from other grades/subjects within the LEA.
- Analyze baseline data and student performance trends.
- Select measure(s) for student learning.
Understanding Baseline Data
Baseline data that is useful for understanding students’prerequisite skills and content includes, but is not limited to:
– beginning of course diagnostics and / or performance tasks,– prior year tests, – tests in other subjects, – teacher-, school- or state generated tests, – student grades in previous courses, – student transiency rates, – student behavior data,– Individualized Education Plans.
Selecting high quality assessments (or other measure of student
performance) is an integral component of the
Student Learning Objective process.

The process for setting Student Learning Objectives emphasizes the
importance of collaboration to establish long-term, measurable,
academic goals for their students.
