8. What are Student Learning and Growth (SLG) Goals? Based on student learning needs Aligned to CCSS Clearly defined specific learning targets Rigorous, yet attainable Referenced to a baseline Time period specific Growth goals, not achievement goals

9. SLG Goals are defined as… Growth Goals, not Achievement Goals Holds all students to the same standards Allow for various levels of learning Measured by comparing to baseline data i.e. Student performance @ beginning of time period Value-added

10. Who are required to set SLG Goals? Defined in ORS 342.815, ORS 342.856 See Appendix A on page 17 in handout

11. Why use SLG Goals?

12. Advantages of SLG Goals Focus on student learning Evidence based process Assess student learning needs Set goals based on student learning needs Use formative and summative data to monitor student progress Modify instruction based on student needs

13. Advantages of SLG Goals Help develop collaborative communities Educators should work collaboratively to develop SLG Goals Grade level Subject area Professional Learning Communities Staff Meetings Peer to peer with other districts

20. Steps for setting SLG Goals 1.Determine Needs 2.Create Specific Learning and Growth Goals 1.Use SMART page 12 3.Create and Implement Teaching and Learning Strategies 4.Monitor Student Progress through Ongoing Formative Assessment 5.Determine Whether Students Achieved The Goal

21. Setting SLG Goals Two per year are required Goal #1: Category 1 Goal #2: Category 1 or 2 See chart on page 13 Notice 2014/15 disclaimer on page 14 For LCSD#7, due Oct 31 st to your evaluator for review

23. Examples of SLG Goals See Appendix B, page 19 of packet for examples Teacher Template on page 24 Administrator Template, page 27 Templates on district website

24. Oregon’s Matrix Model for Educator Summative Evaluations Significant part of ESEA Waiver Connects all aspects of evaluation to produce a rating SLG Goal Performance Evaluation Rubric Ties student performance to evaluation of educator and/or administrator Matrix found on page 30/2 of packet

25. Y-AXIS: Combined Rating on Professional Practice and Professional Responsibilities (PP/PR) LEVEL 4 (Highest) COLLEGIAL Focus on SLG Goals * SLG INQUIRY due to LOW level of fidelity between measures 3 FACILITATIVE or COLLEGIAL Focus on SLG Goals Determined post inquiry * SLG INQUIRY due to only SOME level of fidelity between measures 3 or 4 FACILITATIVE GOOD level of fidelity between measures 4 FACILITATIVE HIGHEST level of fidelity between measures 4 LEVEL 3 COLLEGIAL or CONSULTING Focus on SLG Goals Determined post inquiry * SLG INQUIRY due to SOME level of fidelity between measures 2 or 3 COLLEGIAL PLAN GOOD level of fidelity between measures 3 COLLEGIAL HIGHEST level of fidelity between measures 3 COLLEGIAL GOOD level of fidelity between measures 3 LEVEL 2 CONSULTING GOOD level of fidelity between measures 2 CONSULTING HIGHEST level of fidelity between measures 2 CONSULTING GOOD level of fidelity between measures 2 COLLEGIAL or CONSULTING Determined post inquiry * PP/PR INQUIRY due to only SOME level of fidelity between measures 2 or 3 LEVEL 1 (Lowest) DIRECTED HIGHEST level of fidelity between measures 1 DIRECTED GOOD level of fidelity between measures 1 CONSULTING or DIRECTED Determined post inquiry *PP/PR INQUIRY due to only SOME level of fidelity between measures 1 or 2 CONSULTING * PP/PR INQUIRY due to only LOW level of fidelity between measures 2 LEVEL 1 (Lowest) LEVEL 2LEVEL 3 LEVEL 4 (Highest) X-AXIS: Rating on Student Learning and Growth

26. Y-Axis Professional Practice and Professional Responsibilities (PP/PR) Use district adopted evaluation rubric 1. Find Average Component Score 1.(Total Score) / (Total Possible) 2.Remember that 3’s are good on a 4 point scale 3.4’s are reserved for Ghandi level of performance 4.1’s are never good (See PP/PR Scoring Rule) 2.Determine rating from threshold table page 30/3 3.Find corresponding Level Row on Y-Axis

27. X-Axis Student Learning and Growth (SLG) 1.Score SLG Goals using SLG Scoring Rubric (page 16) 2.Determine SLG Performance Level from table on page 30/3 3.Find corresponding column from X-Axis on Matrix

28. Summative Performance Level and Professional Growth Plan 1.Indicate corresponding cell as (X,Y) 2.Determine Professional Growth Plan as defined in cell 1.Facilitative, Collegial, Consulting, or Directed 3.Determine Summative Performance Level 1.Highest, Good, SLG Inquiry, or PP/PR Inquiry 4.Any “Inquiry” ratings require another examination of evidence, final determine by evaluator
