Introduction to Student
Learning Objectives
“SLOs 101”
March 2012
Presentation developed by Cheryl Covell, TST BOCES Data Analyst & Heather
Sheridan-Thomas, TST BOCES Assistant Supt, with additional materials from Jeff
Craig, OCM BOCES Assistant Supt. and NYS ENGAGE website
Session Objectives
• Understand how Student Learning Objectives
fit into the overall NYS Teacher Evaluation
system and Race to the Top initiative.
• Develop a beginning awareness of WHAT an
SLO is, WHO needs SLOs, HOW SLO decisions
are made, and WHY SLOs are an important
element in an overall effort to enhance
teaching and learning.
NY State’s Regulations governing teacher
evaluation call for a “State-determined
District-wide growth goal setting process.”

What Are Student Learning Objectives (SLOs)?
NYSED SLO Framework
All SLOs MUST include the following basic components:
Student Population
Which students are being addressed?
Learning Content
What is being taught? CCSS/National/State standards? Will this goal
apply to all standards applicable to a course or just to specific priority
standards?
Interval of
Instructional Time
What is the instructional period covered (if not a year, rationale for
semester/quarter/etc)?
Evidence
What assessment(s) or student work product(s) will be used to
measure this goal?
Baseline
What is the starting level of learning for students covered by this SLO?
Target(s)
What is the expected outcome (target) by the end of the instructional
period?
HEDI Criteria
How will evaluators determine what range of student performance
“meets” the goal (effective) versus “well-below” (ineffective) , “below”
(developing), and “well-above” (highly effective)?
Rationale
Why choose this learning content, evidence and target?

Previous work in Spanish I focused on working with basic vocabulary and
grammar, and building preliminary oral skills. The diagnostic assessment is
heavily focused on more advanced writing and reading skills, which are
essential components of the Spanish curriculum. Spanish II requires
students build on their learning from Spanish I in order to acquire mastery in
these areas and to be prepared for Spanish III. Since all students completed
Spanish I having achieved basic proficiency levels, I am confident they will
achieve 80% mastery or above on at least 75% of the Spanish II materials.

Learning Content is prioritized to reflect ELA Shifts 1,3,4 & 6. Writing will be assessed as
local assessment. Targets:Results from 1st grade STAR end of year assessments suggest
82 % of students are proficient. Sept 2012 results suggest 77 % proficiency (possible
“summer slide”) District assessment results suggest 80 % grade level proficiency in
reading and a bit lower in writing (72%). An 85% proficiency goal seems reasonable, as
it is above results from previous year and fall pre-assessment. If a true growth goal is
set, a more challenging 90% is reasonable, because difference in student starting points
are considered.

SLOs
The STATE determines the following:
o The overall SLO framework.
o Which teachers must set SLOs and which teachers
must have State-provided growth measures.
o Which assessments must be used, and which are
allowable options.
o Requirements around scoring:
• The scoring ranges and categories.
• Rules for scoring SLOs that include a Stateprovided growth measure.
• Rules for scoring multiple SLOs.
Three types of teachers:
If there is a State-provided
growth measure for at least
50% of students
If there is no State-provided
growth measure for the
course
If there is a State-provided
growth measure for less than
50% of students
Will have Stateprovided growth
measure (no SLOs)
Use only SLOs (no
State-provided
growth measure)
Will have Stateprovided growth
measure and will

STATE Rules - How many SLOs and what
assessments to use.
o SLOs must cover largest courses taught
until ≥50% of students are included in a
teacher’s SLOs.
STATE Rules - How many SLOs and what
assessments to use.
o Teachers with multiple sections of the
same course must create 1 SLO to cover
all of these sections when the same
final assessment is used.
STATE Rules - How many SLOs and what
assessments to use.
o School-or-BOCES wide, group or team SLO based
on State assessment growth may substitute or
supplement except for any teachers of 6-8
science and social studies and any grade/subject
that culminates in a State assessment.
o Examples might include assessing art teacher on
team or school ELA scores because of integrated
literacy instruction, or assessing reading teacher
on grade level ELA scores.
STATE Rules - How many SLOs and what
assessments to use.
o If a State assessment exists for any of the courses
required to be included in the SLO, but there is
no State-provided growth measure for that
assessment, the State assessment must be used
as evidence for the SLO.
o Examples include Regents courses and 8th grade
science.

Score Description
18-20 Results are well-above state average
for similar students (or district goals if
no state test).
Effective
9-17 Results meet state average for similar
students (or district goals if no state
test).
Developing 3-8 Results are below state average for
similar students (or district goals if no
state test).
Ineffective
0-2 Results are well-below state average
for similar students (or district goals if
no state test).
DISTRICTS determine the following:
o Identify priorities.
o Establish which decisions are made at the District
level versus in schools by principals, and/or principals
with teachers.
o Create District-wide processes for setting, reviewing,
and assessing SLOs in schools.
o Set expectations for HEDI scoring of SLOs.
o Create processes to ensure that any assessments are
not scored by teachers and principals with a vested
interest in the outcome of the assessment they score,
and address assessment security issues.
SCHOOLS determine the following:
o Make choices as needed when District leaves
flexibility to schools.
o Ensure that lead evaluator approves each teacher’s
goals and monitors/assesses results.
o Ensure all assessments are secure and that any
assessments, including those used as evidence for
SLOs, are not scored by teachers and principals
with a vested interest in the outcome of the
assessments they score.
TEACHERS engage with SLOs in the following ways:
o Obtain all possible data on students to best inform
baseline, starting level of student learning.
o Propose, in consultation with lead evaluator, SLOs
and targets based on District and school
requirements.
o Select instructional strategies & materials to lead
students to SLO targets.
o Assess students (may engage in a regional or other
distributed scoring process).
o Reflect on student learning results and consider
implications for future practice.

SLO Elements:
Student Population, Learning Content & Interval
• Student Population: Specify your assigned
students who are included in this SLO along
with the course sections and student names
and/or identification numbers. (Full class
rosters of all students must be provided for
all included course sections.)
• Learning Content: CCLS/National/State
standards. Prioritizing is acceptable/
encouraged.
• Interval of Instructional Time: Usually 1 year,
but may be semester or quarter
SLO Elements:
Evidence (Assessments)
• Districts will need to review the assessments
currently in place in all subject areas and all
grade levels, and make decisions about
needed assessments.
• Assessments should provide useful feedback
to teachers about overall instruction and
individual student needs.
Evidence – Considerations
• How aligned and authentic are the assessment items to the
learning content?
• How valid and reliable are the assessments?
• Are the selected assessments from an approved list of allowable
options? (district, BOCES, approved 3rd party)
• Can they be verified by the Superintendent as comparable and
rigorous?
• What, if any, administration accommodations must legally be made
for students?
• How are the assessments scored in terms of point values assigned
per item and method of summarizing scores?
• Have procedures been established to ensure that assessments are
secure and that those with vested interest do not score students’
29 assessments?

Three sections of ELA 9, heterogeneously grouped, 70 students.
Read and comprehend complex literary and information texts independently and proficiently. Write arguments to support claims in an
analysis of substantive topics or texts using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
2012-2013 school year.
Evidence
Baseline assessment: 8th Grade ELA results. Common writing prompt: Students provide an objective summary of Frederick
Douglass’s Narrative. They analyze how the central idea regarding the evils of slavery is conveyed through supporting ideas and
developed over the course of the text.
Summative assessment: Ten reading comprehension questions based on the selection rom Things Fall Apart. Ten reading
comprehension questions based on Quindlen, Anna. “A Quilt of a Country.” Newsweek September 27, 2001. Students determine the
purpose and point of view in Martin Luther King, Jr.’s, “I Have a Dream” speech and analyze how King uses rhetoric to advance his
position (in writing).
Baseline
On last year’s ELA 8: 4% scored 1; 18% scored 2; 67% scored 3, 11% scored 4.
On the four-point district-wide writing rubric: 15% scored 1; 40% scored 2; 30% scored 3, 15% scored 4.
Eighty percent of all students will score 55 points or higher on the summative
assessment (out of a possible 64 points).
