student learning objectives ohio educator evaluations growth

shared by khjones85 on 20 Oct 13 - No Cached
  • 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,

    • khjones85
      khjones85 on 20 Oct 13
       
      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.
    • khjones85
      khjones85 on 20 Oct 13
       
      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.
    • khjones85
      khjones85 on 20 Oct 13
       
      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.

      I believe that we learn by solving life's puzzles and we can do that by communicating and learning from our peers. Students would be able to grow at their own pace.

      I could also incorporate a real world problem and have the students create different solutions to solve it. This would allow for them to research the problem and think of diff ways to solve it. Then they could apply it to a challenge they might be facing to get more info before making a decision.

  • But the researcher who wrote a report the Kasich administration cites in support of the proposal says that without other changes and perhaps more money for schools, the third-grade reading guarantee is unlikely to leave children better off.
    • Alexandria McNicholas
      Alexandria McNicholas on 22 Oct 13
       
      I agree that several changes need to be made for this to work successfully across the state. I do not know if just more money will help.
    • khjones85
      khjones85 on 23 Oct 13
       
      I thought it was important to note that the states with similar laws have had more success if they've have closely monitored class size and personalized help for struggling students. If more money means that we can have smaller class sizes or more resources with which to teach students in the classroom, that's obviously a huge help. However, I agree with you that money alone isn't going to make the difference.
    • Alexandria McNicholas

      khjones85 you make a very good point which I did not think about.
    • Kelsey Johnson

      How do they make sure the money would go to the schools that really need it and in the correct way? My school for example has been in continuous improvement for at least 5 years. Instead of helping us though by giving us more support in the classroom, the state spends money on just sending people to tell us how to do more testing. To me this is not preparing us for the third-grade guarantee.
    • Heather Armstrong
      Heather Armstrong on 27 Oct 13
       
      Kelsey, that is an extremely good point. In many districts, teachers need more support regarding what to do after testing. Too much assessing takes away from instruction and interventions needed for student growth.

      I agree katiemarie. My school gets very little support from parents at home and without that connection how can we make this guarantee effective?
  • The report looked at a national database of nearly 4,000 students born between 1979 and 1989 and found that students who do not read proficiently by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of school by age 19 than students who can read proficiently.

      Interventions need to begin before third grade. Teachers with a room of 26 students need assistance meeting the needs of below leveled readers.  Teachers who follow the RtI process try interventions for weeks without getting to intense interventions for some students.
  • he commission says that while retention policies may generate “a sense of urgency for improving early reading proficiency, similar improvements in student achievement might well be achieved through identification and intervention — without the need for retention.”
  • Karen Koontz on 27 Oct 13
     
    Our class sizes continue to grow and I feel this is detrimental to the learning of students, especially those who are struggling. I agree that we need smaller classes and more support both from parents and for more intervention time. I also feel that parents should not be allowed to override the schools suggestion to retain a student in kindergarten.
