Supporting the Development of Student Learning Objectives How to Create an SLO

Purposes of SLO’s 1.Focus on improving student learning results 2.Connect goal setting processes to the SLO Process 3.Explicitly connect teaching and learning 4.Improve instructional practices and teacher performance 5.Serve as a tool for school improvement

Types of SLO All SLO formats are GROWTH Based Tiered Whole Group Sub Group Individual Program (Educational Specialists)

Tiered SLO- Baseline Data U.S. History Assessment Number of Students Achievement Levels Primary sources comparative analysis District-developed rubric for high school students

Tiered SLO During the course of this school year, all students will make measurable progress in U.S. History as measured by the district-developed primary sources comparative analysis rubric for high school. Students will improve their scores as follows: Students scoring at the Novice and Developing levels on the pre- assessment will improve to the Proficient level on the post- assessment. Students scoring at the Proficient level on the pre-assessment will improve to the Exceeding level on the post-assessment. Students scoring on the Exceeding level on the pre-assessment will have their pre-assessments re-scored using the College and Professional level rubric, and will improve their scores by one level on the post-assessment.

Strategies and Support 1.Understand the expectations for disciplinary writing in the CCSS and create instruction matched to these goals. 2.Determine exemplar papers in the 2 criteria and use for instruction. 3.Create authentic opportunities for students to write throughout the year. 4.Use mentor texts to model good writing craft. 5.Create a student friendly rubric for students to self reflect and set goals.

Whole Group SLOs Data suggest that students come with relatively similar readiness levels for the content being taught. For outliers (exceptionally low or exceptionally high performing students), individual SLOs may need to be developed. May be more likely in a course in which prerequisite scores or courses are necessary

Whole Group SLO Baseline Data Strengths: Conventions Descriptive language Area of need: 28% met grade level proficiency on developing a character. 23% met grade level expectations on developing a conclusion

Whole Group- 5 th Grade Writing By June 2013, 100% of all 5 th graders in my class will move up one level on the district rubric for narrative writing in the following areas: 1.Orienting the reader by establishing a situation and introducing a narrator and or characters. 2.Providing a conclusion that follows from a narrated experience or events.

Strategies and Support 1.Understand the expectations for narrative writing in the CCSS and create instruction matched to these goals. 2.Determine exemplar papers in the 2 criteria and use for instruction. 3.Create authentic opportunities for students to write throughout the day. 4.Use mentor texts to model good writing craft. 5.Create a student friendly rubric for students to self reflect and set goals.

Sub Group SLO- Reading F & P Baseline data shows 6/23 (red) 2 nd grade students began the year below the monthly target for the Fountas and Pinnell Reading Assessment. These 6 students are my sub group.

Subgroup Reading Goals By June 2013, the six students below grade level will increase 5 levels by the end of the year.

Strategies and Support Tier 1 Guided Reading 3-4 times a week for these students. Goal setting with students. Observe 2 nd grade teachers administering the F& P to see depth of comprehension needed. Comprehension strategies taught the same with school and home. Tier 2 Target interventions based on need to be utilized during TARGET Time. Progress monitor growth.

Individualized SLOs Used for smaller groups of students with a variety of readiness levels and background knowledge. Acceptable amounts of progress are often dependent on students’ historical academic performances.

Considerations for Students with Disabilities Does the student’s disability affect the student’s ability to reach the SLO? What has been the academic history of the student up to this point? What types of instructional interventions have been provided to the student in the past?

SLO for Special Groups: ART II During the current school year, all students will make measurable progress in Art II using the district- developed art portfolio rubric. Students will improve their scores as follows: Students scoring at a Level 0-2 on the pre-assessment will improve by 2 levels on the pre-assessment. Students scoring at a level 3-4 on the pre-assessment will improve by 1 level on the post-assessment. Students scoring at a level 5 on the pre-assessment will advance their skills through an independent project.

Program SLO- PBIS Baseline Data – 119 bottom lines=.67/day bottom lines=.56/ day — 115 bottom lines=.64/ day

Program SLO During the school year, our student’s Bottom Line Behaviors K-5 at Hudson Prairie School will reduce from.67 to an average of.5 referrals per day which will keep students in classrooms and improve student learning.

Strategies and Support Begin Tracking Minor behaviors Begin Check In Check Out system of support Have a PBIS refresher in Feb. since our referrals were highest in March. Increase supervision on the playground to 1 adult for 50 students since the playground is the area where most bottom lines occur. Coaching of noon duty staff.
