Definition of Student Growth

For the purpose of use in Ohio’s evaluation systems, student growth is defined as the change in student achievement for an individual student between

two or more points in time.

Page 6: Putting the Pieces Together…. Understanding SLOs

What are Student Learning Objectives?

An SLO is:• A goal that demonstrates a teacher’s impact on

student learning within a given interval of instruction.

• A measurable, long-term academic target written by an individual teacher or a teacher team.

Page 7: Putting the Pieces Together…. Understanding SLOs

High-quality SLOs include or address the following criteria:

1. Baseline and Trend Data

2. Student Population

3. Interval of Instruction

4. Standards and Content

5. Assessment(s)

6. Growth Target(s)

7. Rationale for Growth Target(s)

STEP 1: Gather and review available dataSTEP 1: Gather and review available data

STEP 2: Determine the interval of instruction and identify contentSTEP 2: Determine the interval of instruction and identify content

STEP 3: Choose assessments and set the growth targetSTEP 3: Choose assessments and set the growth target

STEP 4: Submit your SLO and prepare for approval and reviewSTEP 4: Submit your SLO and prepare for approval and review

STEP 5: Final scoring of the SLOSTEP 5: Final scoring of the SLO

SLO Template and ExampleTake 10 minutes to:• Look at the seven components in the blank template

(Handout 1.1).• Critically review the Choir SLO example

(Handout 1.2)

Then, take a few minutes to:• Jot down questions, points of confusion or other comments

SLO Components 1 - 2

1. Baseline and Trend Data– Summarizes student information (test score from

previous years, results of pre-assessments), – Identifies student strengths and weaknesses, and – Reviews trend data to inform the objective and

establish the amount of growth that should take place.

2. Student Population. Includes the following: – Students– Course– Grade level– Number of students included in the objective.

12

Page 13: Putting the Pieces Together…. Understanding SLOs

SLO Components 3-4

3. Interval of Instruction. The duration of the SLO (including start and end dates)

4. Standards and Content. – SLO should cover the content, skills, and specific

standards to which the SLO is aligned. – SLOs should be broad enough to represent the most

important learning or overarching skills, but narrow enough to be measured.

13

Page 14: Putting the Pieces Together…. Understanding SLOs

SLO Components 5-65. Assessment(s).

– Assessments that will be used to measure student growth for the objective.

– Assessment(s) should be reviewed by content experts to effectively measure course content and should have sufficient “stretch” so that all students may demonstrate learning.

– If supplemental assessments are needed to cover all ability levels in the course, this section should provide a plan for combining multiple assessments.

6. Growth Target(s). – The target for student growth should reflect high expectations

for student achievement that are developmentally appropriate.

– The targets should be rigorous yet attainable.

14

Page 15: Putting the Pieces Together…. Understanding SLOs

SLO Component 7

7. Rationale for Growth Target(s). – High quality SLOs include strong justifications for why the

goal is important and achievable for this group of students.

– Rationales should draw upon assessment, baseline and trend data, student outcomes, and curriculum standards and should be aligned to broader school and district goals.

SLO Template Checklist

Page 17: Putting the Pieces Together…. Understanding SLOs

Reviewing an SLO using the Checklist

17

• With a partner, evaluate the quality of the Choir SLO prior to revision in Handout 1.4 using the SLO Template Checklist (Handout 1.3).– Discuss what changes would need to be made and

questions you would have for the teacher

Page 18: Putting the Pieces Together…. Understanding SLOs

Reflection

18

Discuss with an elbow partner your impressions of SLOs:

• Which component(s) of the SLO will be most difficult to complete? Why?

• With which component(s) of the SLO are you most comfortable?

• What resources are available to you to help?

August 21st – September 20th:

① Administer pre assessment

② Complete Section 3, 4, 5 of electronic SLO Template.

September 23rd:

④ Waiver Day bring scored pre assessments with you!

⑤ We will work on growth targets and remaining SLO components
