  • A Student Learning Objective (SLO) is a measurable, long-term academic growth target that a teacher sets at the beginning of the year for all students or for subgroups of students. SLOs demonstrate a teacher’s impact on student learning within a given interval of instruction based upon baseline data gathered at the beginning of the course.
  • High-quality SLOs state clearly which students are included in the learning objective, how growth will be measured over what time period, and why that level of growth should be expected of those students. High-quality SLOs include the following:
  • The SLO data should summarize student information, identify student strengths and weaknesses,

      By identifying strengths and weaknesses ahead of time, teachers can make sure they are addressing their students's needs.  We do this already as teachers, but this is considered part of your "baseline" data when creating SLOs.
  • Every student should be covered by at least one SLO to ensure that no group of students is overlooked.

      Reaching all students is extremely important, and maybe even more so now with the 3rd Grade Reading Guarantee.  I am seeing in my school that a lot of time and energy is being spent by the administration trying to address the needs of the struggling students.  We must continue to think of ways to push all students to meet their full academic potential.
  • High-quality SLOs include strong justifications for why the goal is important and achievable for this group of students. Rationales should draw upon assessment data, student outcomes, and curriculum standards.

      Just like we try to make sure to identify a clear purpose for a students, we have to make sure we're staying true to our purpose as teachers when planning lessons and assessments for students.
  • Teachers using best practices already follow an informal SLO process: They set goals for their students, use data to assess student progress and adjust their instruction based upon that progress. Thus, the SLO process provides teachers with ways to formalize their teaching practice, give input on how student learning will be measured and how they will be evaluated.

  • If the student can demonstrate reading proficiency on the state assessment at the end of the summer, the student will be promoted to the fourth grade before school starts in the fall.

      This is a nice idea. However, how motivated would a child be while attending summer school? On the other hand, I think a child would be embarrassed to repeat the third grade...

  • Any student retained by the Third Grade Reading Guarantee is eligible to be promoted during that school year in accordance with the district’s established midyear promotion policy.

      Wouldn't these kiddos be behind in the rest of their academics? I am not sure what the repercussions would be based on the midyear integration. 
  • Once a student is promoted midyear, they are considered a fourth grade student in all subjects and will take the fourth grade state assessments.
  • For each student retained under division (A) of this section who has demonstrated proficiency in a specific academic ability field, each district shall provide instruction commensurate with student achievement levels in that specific academic ability field. As used in this division, "specific academic ability field" has the same meaning as in section 3324.01 of the Revised Code.

      Does this mean more jobs will be necessary to 'bridge the gap'? My head is spinning with the complexities of this new requirement.

  • Still, Parmigian and his administrators say they are still on the search for clarification regarding the “burdensome” law in both the state legislature and Ohio Department of Education.
  • “I think it’s well intended – making sure kids are able to read at the third grade level. But it takes away local control,” Parmigian said. “We know our kids. Everyone is different. We work on the best situation to help those kids.”
  • Daily reading intervention classes will be offered for those who don’t pass the test, Dennis Mock , superintendent, said. Then all third graders will take the test again in the spring.
  • district officials interpret the law to mean students will have to re-do third grade reading but can continue on to fourth grade

      Where are they going to find the time during the school day for the reading intervention classes?  What other curriculum areas will suffer because teachers/students are focused on passing the state reading test?

    This is the source that The Ohio Department of Education would like parents and teachers to use. They have two really great resources. It includes phonics, and a variety of fiction stories, and using highlighting to focus on reading left to right. On the other hand, does every student learn the same way? What other resources can families and teachers use?
