What does an SLO look like? An SLO is really a whole process that involves a written goal for students, goals for the educator (PD, etc.), a timeframe for achieving the goal, outcomes of the various steps, assessments, and reflection throughout!

The whole and its parts 1. The measurable (SMART goal) 2. The teacher’s goals/needs (professional development, training, time, etc.) 3. Assessments 4. Timeline for activities 5. Reflection and adaptation

What do I need to do first? Look at the data! Based on the data, what needs doing? What problems exist? What do your students need?
