  • A student learning objective 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. Student learning objectives demonstrate a teacher’s impact on student learning.

  • 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.
  • 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.

  • 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.
