Measures
20 Points for Student Growth
• State provides these points
for 4-8 ELA and math
teachers
• Everyone else must make a
Student Learning Objective
to figure these points out
for ourselves
20 Points for Student Growth
• Student Learning Objective is
a process the state has
prescribed
• Set goals for the most
important learning
• Committees met to
determine measures and
develop SLOs
SLO’s for Teachers of Special Class
K-8
8:1:1 Non- NYSAA Students
K-3- STAR Early Literacy for baseline and end of the year assessment
4th-8th Grade NYS Assessments for summative assessments- baseline
assessment Scholastic Reading Inventory for ELA and STAR Math
Assessment for Math .
How did we approach setting targets?
SLO’s for 9-12th Grade 8:1:1 Teachers
In a class that has a regents exam the summative assessment
is the regents exam. For non- regents classes- Scholastic
Reading Inventory for ELA. STAR Math Assessment for Math.
For social studies and science classes that do not have
regents exam district developed assessment created by a
committee of teachers.
How did we approach setting the targets?
12:1:4 and 12:1:1 Classes
For teachers who have 50% or more of their students who are NYSAA
eligible the summative assessment is the NYSAA
All of our teachers except our High School TEAM teachers and K-2
SKATE teachers will have SLO’s using the NYSAA.
12:1:4 High School Teachers -An assessment was created for ELA by
a committee of teachers that do not have 50% students covered by
NYSAA
Four our K-2 SKATE teachers the summative assessment will be the
STAR Early Literacy Assessment.
How we approached setting the targets for NYSAA:
Example SLO’s for a BOCES teacher using NYSAA
Using the NYSAA bands for level 1-4
20 Points for Local
Achievement Target (LAT)
• Same basic process and
format of SLOs
• Committees of teachers
selected and/developed
assessments
LAT’s for K-8 SED 8:1:1 Teachers
K-2 District Developed Writing Prompt for the baseline and
summative assessment scored with the Traits Writing Rubric
3-8th Grade Scholastic Reading Inventory for baseline and
summative assessment
LAT’s for 9th-12th grade
8:1:1 Classrooms

LAT’s for 12:1:4 Teachers
District Based Assessments were created for the following grade
levels clusters:
K-2
3-5
6-8
9-10
10-12
Example of 6th-8th grade assessment created.
How we approached creating these assessments and setting the
targets

ELA and Math trump
50% or more of your students must be
covered for SLO
All courses ending with a Regents Exam or
ELA/Math State Assessment should have a
SLO
No more than 4 SLOs
Larger course enrollments before smaller
course enrollments (unless literacy not
measured by a SLO)
Exercise common sense

Committees met between June and August to:
◦ Select and/or Design Assessments for SLOs and
LATs
◦ Prioritize the Learning Standards & Align
Curriculum
◦ Determine sequence for teaching curriculum
◦ Develop First Common Assessment to be given in
