Annotated SLO Rubric Form Let review some key aspects of the form Purpose Audience Levels Structure Context EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Activity: Rubric Rating Individually, use the available information to rate each aspect for each element of the SLO. Provide comments and recommendations reflecting prioritized areas. We will collaborate with colleagues after individually rating the SLO to corroborate and/or refine ratings. EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Activity Debrief What areas did you find in common and not in common with your colleagues? Which areas did you find particularly strong or in need of growing? What are some of the priority aspects you look for in the elements? Which aspects were particularly challenging to rate? How might this inform your training and/or advice to districts or schools? EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Activity: Use of Pre-Assessments Where a pre-assessment was used last year, share your reflections on what you coached and/or observed. Successful Pre-assessments Non-Successful Pre-Assessments What was it? Why did it work? Why was it more problematic? EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Activity Debrief What are some commonalities among successful pre-assessments? What are some commonalities among non- successful pre-assessments? What could be done to improve the quality of and/or use of pre-assessments? EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Historical Data What other data could be used outside of pre- assessment data for SLO development? Consider approaches you coached and/or observed. Responses will be charted. EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Activity: Sample Data Take a few minutes to review the sample data set for an SLO being developed for psychology. With colleagues, complete the last two columns. EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Activity Debrief What targets did you set and why? How did each of the pieces of historical data weigh into your decisions? What additional historical data may also be helpful? EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Activity Extension We have a sample version of the completed targets that were set. Take some time to reflect on the targets and growth expected of students, particularly in light of the thinking articulated behind the setting of these expectations. What do you think? EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Activity: Application Take some time to review some sample courses for which it is likely difficult to have a wealth of pre-assessment or historical data. With colleagues, generate recommended data sources teachers of these courses can use in their SLOs – and how. Feel free to add courses to the list.

Considerations Background Number of students in caseload may fluctuate Length of service may vary Content area focus may vary Result May be difficult to determine which students to include in the SLO May not know if students will remain as part of assignment May not be able to identify by BEDS day which students/classes will require your services EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Possible Solutions: Team SLOs or School-Level SLOs Team or Group SLOs May be an appropriate option when the teacher pushes-in to classes and works alongside classroom teacher(s) School-Level SLOs May be appropriate when the teacher’s efforts impact many students school-wide Teachers’ SLOs will be tied to the performance of students on State assessments EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Activity: Sample SLO Review the sample SLO Look for strengths and areas for growth We will share thoughts and questions EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Activity Debrief What strengths did you find in this SLO? What areas for growth did you find? What questions did this SLO raise? What are pros and cons for taking this approach? Other thoughts or questions? EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Activity: Craft an SLO Work with a colleague. Decide on a group of teachers for which to write an SLO using school- or BOCES-wide, group or team results of State assessments Using your local data on State assessments, craft an SLO. Remember the importance of the rationale for why the teachers are included We will share out the SLOs EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Activity Debrief Let’s share our SLOs! Remaining thoughts or questions? EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center

Closing For which teacher groups might you recommend an “attribution” SLO and why? How would you recommend a HEDI be structure for this type of SLO using State assessments EngageNY.org © 2013, Teaching and Learning Solutions © 2013, Community Training and Assistance Center
