building technology infrastructure student learning objectives challenges

  • While many states and districts devote a great deal of time and resources to developing SLOs, few think about creating a technology infrastructure or managing the tasks that must be accomplished to implement thousands of SLOs with fidelity.
  • districts must manage, analyze and report on hundreds or thousands of unique assessments.

      I wonder how this will be achieved.  This seems very complicated.

      I agree with you that this goal seems like such a stretch for a district to accomplish. It would be nice to see what the plan is for achieving this goal.
  • To ensure pre- and post-assessments are compatible and aligned for growth, an SLO technology platform should allow educators to easily view assessments and their attributes side by side, match items based on content and rigor, and apply or customize growth algorithms.

  • Implementing an SLO initiative across a school system is a complex endeavor. Properly managed, SLOs can energize a focus on learning, raise student achievement, and promote growth in professional practice

      On 10/21 I have an inservice day in my district where we will be talking about SLOs.  This has made me think of some good questions to ask about how exactly data will be collected, measured, and reported to administrators compared to the methods that we already use for these purposes.

  • If the student remains in the third grade, the school must provide a high-performing reading teacher and 90 minutes of reading instruction each school day.
  • Resources to provide parents with the tools and information to help their children learn to read and develop other skills to succeed.
  • Except for students with special circumstances, students must meet a minimum score on the state reading test to move on to the fourth grade.

    I agree with Alexandria. There are a lot of people who are NOT test takers. If a child has a bad day, fails the test, even if they know that material, then they are at risk to being retained? Doesn't seem fair.

      Assisting students in reading to promote success begins long before third grade and before a child steps into a school building.  While the state is holding educators accountable, I ask myself why isn't more being done to start off children with more of an advantage.  Equip schools with preschools.  When children cannot receive the reading exposure they need at home, schools should provide more.
  • In families, parents are the first teachers, preparing their children to read simply by talking and reading to them frequently. They can also be the first to spot health and developmental problems that may lead to reading difficulties. But parents do not always know what to look for or how to help their children, and access to health care is essential. Poverty is strongly associated with lack of health insurance coverage. For example, 10 percent of people in families with incomes of $50,000 or more are not covered by health insurance, but this jumps to 19 percent for those with family incomes between $25,000 and $49,999, and to 29 percent for those with family incomes below $25,000.23 Children in poor families also are more likely than their peers to have parents with limited education, because lower education is associated with earning lower incomes.24 These findings suggest that pol

  • or parents, particularly in low-income families, could play an important role in fostering children's educational success. Schools and parents cannot, by themselves, bring about these changes.

    It's never too early to learn how to read or to share books with your children, students and other educators. I agree preschool sets the children up for success.

    I firmly believe that a parent is the best way to boost a child's knowledge before they begin school. I never attended pre-school, and yet I was reading by the middle of my kindergarten year. The sad fact is that some parents just don't care enough, or find educating their child important enough to give them the head start that they need. Pre-school isn't a requirement, and unless a family meets the income qualifications, it can be quite pricey. I currently have a student who is in foster care, he is smart, and inquisitive, and hard working. He will be going back to live with his blood relatives next week. After talking to his foster family, they have shared their opinion that once he leaves their care, he will not be taken to school, or helped to boost his skills in any way. His birth family told him that he does not need to do his homework, that it is not important. It is a very sad situation.

      I think that within "Lessons learned from Florida" it is evident that teaching practices need to build and support our students so that they are indeed able to use higher level thinking in order to perform. We need to be teaching reading for enjoyment and meaning, not reading for speed or to pass a grade. It is horrible to put that amount of pressure on our young students...
