Student Learning ObjectivePlanning and Implementation
Understanding SLOs
– I know the definition of an SLO.– I know how SLOs connect to teacher evaluation.
– I understand the 4 steps of the SLO process.
– I can determine the quality of an SLO by using the Quality Checklist.
– I know the components of a SMART goal.– I know how growth ratings are calculated.
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!
• If teaching more than one subject, they must write an SLO for the subject/grade that is tested.
Teach more than one subject?–This is the
REQUIREMENT for 2015-16.
–This coming year 2014-15 is a planning year, so flexibility is allowed.
How do state assessments impact SLOs?
SBAC• Individuals who teach ELA
or math at grades 3-8, and 11 must write an SLO based on ELA or math.
DSTEP Science• Individuals who teach
sciences grades 5,8, or 11 must write an SLO based on science.
Grade 5 teachers who teach ELA, math, and science must select one of those content areas on which to write the SLO.

Objectives of Teacher Evaluation
1. The purpose of the teacher evaluation is to continually improve instruction and student learning.
2. The evaluation process encourages professional teacher administrator ‐relationships as a basis for structuring meaningful, in depth dialogue ‐focused on student learning.
3. The evaluation process uses multiple measures of teaching practice and student growth to meaningfully differentiate teacher performance.
4. The evaluation process communicates clearly defined expectations and provides regular, timely and useful feedback that guides professional growth for teachers.
5. The evaluation process is a fair, flexible, and research based mechanism to ‐create a culture in which data drives instructional decisions.
6. The evaluation process will be used to inform personnel decisions.

The SLO Process
2. SLO Approval• Teacher submits an SLO process guide completed up
to the approval section.• Word doc (email, saved on server, hard copy)• Teachscape Reflect
• Evaluator meets with teacher.• Evaluator clearly identifies information needed to
determine SLO quality (SLO Checklist) including amount and type of data.– Identify revision window if needed
• Teacher and Evaluator mutually agree on SLO and it is signed by both and approved.• Teachscape Reflect
3. Ongoing Communication
• Teacher describes student progress toward the growth goal.
• If necessary, teacher will document changes in strategy.
• If justified, teacher will describe changes to the SLO.– Word doc– Teachscape Reflect
4. Prepare for Summative
• Make sure adequate time is allotted to determine rating prior to summative meeting.
• Teachers may consider self-scoring and reflection to guide conversation during summative meeting.
• Assessment data may be submitted.

UNDERSTANDING THE
SLO PROCESS GUIDE
On a Side Note…• Each piece of the process guide would be
appropriate artifacts for the SD Framework for Teaching.
• This process guide is an online form in Teachscape Reflect.
Prioritizing Learning Content
Students can read, write, listen, and speak in the target language. Communication 1.1, 1.2; Comparisons 4.1; Cultures 2.1, 2.2
Prioritizing Learning Content
• Statewide assessment data• District or local assessment data• Universal screening data• ACT data• AP data• EOC data• Semester test data• Grades
Identify Student Population
All students enrolled in Spanish I will be addressed through the SLO. (20 regular education students, 3 exchange students, 1 SPED)
Knowing the exact make up of the class helps the teacher know how they may differentiate the instruction.
Identify Student Population
Teachers should provide a comprehensive description of their class, group, student population. Note: Teachers are required to write 1 SLO.
Guiding Question: Explain how you selected the target population (class,
group, grade level) for your SLO.Is there data to support your decision?What other types of learning goals are your teachers already setting…can SLOs align to those goals?
Interval of Instruction
How will semester/9 week courses be handled?
Will a staggered SLO schedule work for me and my staff?
Interval of Instruction
Guiding Questions: Have you provided enough time for your students to master the learning?
Is there enough time to complete final assessments and calculate growth before the
end of the year?
Analyze Data & Develop Baseline
Reading= 15 % pass; writing= 2 % pass; listening = 8% pass; speaking = 0% pass on Spanish Language EOC assessments
3d
“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.

Analyze Data & Develop Baseline
Guiding Questions:• How did you select/develop your baseline assessment?• How do your baseline assessment and post-assessment compare?
This is the pre-test.
Select or Develop an Assessment
I will use the EOC assessments provided by my curriculum materials.
Types of Assessment to Consider
• Rubrics• Performance assessment• Checklists• Conferencing• Student work samples• Star Reading/Math• Curriculum materials• Portfolios• State or national
assessments
• End of course exams• District assessments• Teacher created• Semester tests• AR Reading/Math• Pre ACT• AIMS web• DIBELS• MAPS• SDAP
Any others???
Guiding Questions:• Describe how the goal attainment will be measured.• Is your assessment aligned to priority content & standards?• Does your assessment measure what it was designed to measure?• Does your assessment produce an accurate and consistent picture
of what students know & do?• Can you administer/score your assessment in a timely fashion?
Select or Develop an Assessment
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 for student learning for a content area, grade level or school.

The SMART Process A Format for Developing SLOs
SSpecificThe goal
addresses student needs
within the content.
MMeasurable
An appropriate instrument or
measure is selected to assess the
goal.
AAppropriate
The goal is standards-
based, needs-focused (and
directly addresses all
students)
RRealistic & RigorousThe goal is
attainable and stretches student learning.
TTime-bound
The goal is contained to a single school year/course.
REMEMBER:The Smart Goal is one Component of the Entire SLO Process.It is the Growth Goal in the Process Guide.

12/12 MS Exploratory students passed all 4 assessments, so I exceeded my goal of 95% pass rate. I would have needed 11 students to pass all 4 assessments to meet 95% pass rate. This was high growth.
9/12 Non MS Exploratory students passed all 4 assessments. Since 75% of my students passed all 4 assessments, I made expected growth with this group.

Professional Growth
Guiding Questions: Were my teachers given enough time and support to be successful? What would I change for next year?
Having a combination of group and individual activities was successful, as well as multiple opportunities for students to practicelistening and speaking with various resources. Students could workon their own to get additional help even if I was busy or if I was absent from school since none of my subs could speak Spanish. Students were also excited to upload their own content and it motivated them to do their best reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Wonder about grouping kids by prior experience?
