What is a SLO?

Resources

A Student Learning Objective (SLO) is a goal for specific students for a particular time interval. Goals should be focused on academic gains and aligned with the local school improvement goals. SLOs should reflect current students’ academic needs.

How does an individual teacher’s SLO fit into the larger instructional framework of our SIP?

I'm ready to analyze my data

Secondary Marks Dashboard

Based on your data, reflect on the following questions:

• What areas of students’ performance are at or above expectations?
• What areas of student performance are below expectations?
• How did various groups of students perform (e.g. gender, race, disability, English proficiency)?

• What important observations seem to “pop out” from the data? Surprising observations? Unexpected observations?
• What patterns or trends appear?
• What similarities and differences exist across various data sources?

I'm ready to write my goal and select my student group.

Identify Goal and student Group

Using your data analysis, answer the following questions:

1. What is an issue that you plan to address this semester?
2. What data supports your identification of this need as a priority to address?
3. What is the goal for students? Describe and explain the expectations for student growth

Based on your data and stated goal, determine the Target group for your SLO. Identify:

• Student demographics
• EML or IEP coding
• Number or % of students targeted
• Current grade level
• Current performance level

I'm ready to identify instructional shifts that will help my student group reach their goal

PLAN: Instructional sHifts

In addition to your learning from the District Wide Professional Learning (DWPL) module, use the resources below to identify and plan for necessary instructional shifts that will allow your SLO students to reach their particular goal. This might include one or more specific instructional strategies you will implement, but it could also include changes to the way you plan for instruction, assess learning, or give feedback. Leverage your expertise and knowledge of your students to make a choice that best fits your student needs.
