4. www.engageNY.org 5 District Decisions (recommended by 5/31/2012) 4 1.Assess and identify district priorities and academic needs. 2.Identify who will have State-provided growth measures and who must have SLOs as “comparable growth measures.” 3.Determine district rules for how specific SLOs will get set. 4.Establish expectations for scoring SLOs and for determining teacher ratings for the growth component. 5.Determine district-wide processes for setting, reviewing, and assessing SLOs in schools. 3/01 4/16 5/31 Note: These dates are recommended so NTI participants are prepared for their training sessions.

5. www.engageNY.org DECISION 2: WHO NEEDS AN SLO FOR GROWTH MEASUREMENT?

6. www.engageNY.org THREE TYPES OF TEACHERS Teacher 1: Those who have a State provided growth measure and are not required to have an SLO. Teacher 2: Those who have a State provided growth measure, and yet, are required to have an SLO because less than 50% of their students are covered by the State provided growth measure. Teacher 3: Those who are required to have an SLO and do not have a State provided growth measure. 6

8. www.engageNY.org DECISION 3: HOW WILL SLOs GET SET?

9. www.engageNY.org Assessment Options for SLOs: Reference Guide 9 Please see the “Assessment Options for SLOs: Reference Guide” for NYSED’s rules for assessment options for teachers who have SLOs for State Growth

10. www.engageNY.org What Assessment Do I Use to Measure Growth in SLOs? 10 Teacher Assessment ScenariosDistrict Decision Points Scenario 1: Teacher’s course ends in a State assessment, but teacheris still required to have an SLO (see Teacher 2 and some Teacher 3 on Slide 19). District has no decision to make. Use State assessment for SLO. Scenario 2: Teacher’s course is a “core subject” under the Regulations but thereis no current State assessment(see Assessment Options for SLOs: Reference Guide). District has to determine which State approved3 rd party assessmentto use (see: http://usny.nysed.gov/rttt/teachers- leaders/assessments/). Scenario 3: Teacher’s course is none of the above (i.e., not assessed using a State assessment and/or is not considered a “core subject” under the Regulations). Districthas to determine whether they will use one of the following options district- wide or allow schools to make their own decisions on assessments: 1.State approved 3 rd party assessment 2.District or BOCES–developed 3.School or teacher-created 4.School-wide, group, or team results based on State assessments ?

11. Other Decisions Do any of your SLOs involve a pre and post test? Will similar teachers have the same SLO? Will baseline data be used to differentiate SLO targets? Will you use any group/team SLOs? Others?

12. Coming Soon Establish expectations for scoring SLOs and for determining teacher ratings for the growth component. 12
