Student Learning Objectives Overview | Ohio Department of Education - 0 views

  • 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.

Fordham: This Ed Reform Thing Could Blow Up in Our Face | StateImpact Ohio - 1 views

  • Most superintendents — about 80 percent — said the law imposed unnecessary requirements on schools already doing the best they could.

      Schools are already strapped for money.  Where will the money come from to provide the intensive reading intervention necessary?  What happens to schools who are unable to meet the requirements?

    Ohio's Educational Reform may be too much, too fast.

    Great resource! I'm interested to see how the new teacher evaluations play out in the upcoming years. Seems like the majority of superintendents are in favor of changing evaluations but find it difficult to actually implement the more stringent evaluations.
