PERA POWER SESSION 3
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14TH
TODAY’S FACILITATORS: KIM GLOW & CINDY DOLLMAN
TODAY’S AGENDA
Introduction to The SLO
Process
• SLO Cycle
• SLO Elements
TEAM WORK:
• Establish the SLO Process for
your district
• Write sample SLO
VOCABULARY DEFINED
SLO
a detailed process used to organize evidence of
student growth over a specified period of time;
an organizational and planning
VOCABULARY DEFINED
SLO TEMPLATE
a template which can include questions and
statements that guide teachers and evaluators
through the process of measuring student growth
for the purpose of performance evaluation
BENEFITS OF THE SLO PROCESS
• supports the alignment of curriculum, instruction, and
assessment practices to measure student learning
• encourages reflective teaching practices and supports
meaningful professional development opportunities
• promotes collaboration between teachers and administrators
• supports the use of authentic and performance-based
assessments; considering individual student’s needs
IMPORTANT TO NOTE
the intention of a performance evaluation plan,
that includes student growth, is to improve
teaching & learning
THE SLO PROCESS
PLANNING FOR THE SLO PROCESS
• Determine what categories of teachers are required to
use the SLO process, and how many SLOs are
required.
• This decision may be based on the type and/or number of
assessments required.
PLANNING & DEVELOPING THE SLO PROCESS
• Develop a strategic implementation timeline that
includes SLO development, review, and approval.
– Adopt or develop a SLO template.
• Develop a process for combining student growth
measures, and assigning a teacher rating.
IMPLEMENTING THE SLO PROCESS
Implementing
Convene collaborative
groups/teams to develop
and pilot SLOs.
Sustaining
Develop a plan to
monitor, evaluate, and
improve the SLO process
as part of the teacher
evaluation plan.
SLO CYCLE
1. Develop SLO
2. Initial Review
3. Implement Instruction
and Monitor Progress
4. Midcourse Check-In
5. Adjust Instruction
and Monitor Progress
6. Final Review
SLO Elements
SLO ELEMENTS
• The SLO template organizes the guiding questions and
statements within five elements:
• Element 1: Learning Goal
• Element 2: Assessments and Scoring
• Element 3: Growth Targets
• Element 4: Actual Outcomes
• Element 5: Teacher Rating
ELEMENT 1: LEARNING GOAL
• A learning goal is a description of what students will
be able to do at the end of a specified period of time
aligned to appropriate learning standards.
• The development of a learning goal provides a solid
foundation for meaningful, goal directed instruction and
assessment.
ELEMENT 1: LEARNING GOAL
• The learning goal may include one big idea. A big
idea integrates multiple content standards, and links
units of instruction together.
• The big idea chosen should be representative of the most
important learning and typical student growth in a specific
content area, grade level, or classroom.
ELEMENT 1: LEARNING GOAL
• The guiding questions and statements included within
this element help teachers and evaluators reflect on all
of the components necessary to develop a meaningful
learning goal.
ELEMENT 1: LEARNING GOAL
• Teachers who are assigned to teach more than one
subject or grade level may choose a specific subject
and grade level for each SLO in collaboration with the
evaluator.
ELEMENT 1: LEARNING GOAL
• A teacher covers many big ideas over the course of a
school year or course, but chooses one big idea per
SLO.
• A SLO is representative of one big idea that demonstrates
typical growth in that subject and grade level.
EXAMPLE
• Read the responses to the guiding questions
and statement included in Element 1.
• Use the following three symbols to annotate the text:

ELEMENT 2: ASSESSMENTS AND SCORING
• Assessments and scoring procedures should be used to
support and measure the learning goal.
• The guiding questions and statements included within this
element help teachers and evaluators determine how
appropriate assessments and scoring procedures will be
used to measure student growth.
ELEMENT 2: ASSESSMENTS AND SCORING
• Assessments and scoring procedures may include, but
are not limited to, standardized assessments, unit or
chapter assessments, authentic assessments, and
performance-based assessment.
• The choice of measurement model will also inform how
assessments will be used, and how growth targets will be
identified.
EXAMPLE
• Read the responses to the guiding questions and
statement included in Element 2.
• Use the following three symbols to annotate the text:

ELEMENT 3: GROWTH TARGETS
• The guiding questions and statements included within
this element help teachers and evaluators identify
appropriate growth targets for students.
• Growth targets should be ambitious, yet realistic for
students to achieve in the specified period of time.
EXAMPLE
• Read the responses to the guiding questions and
statement included in Element 3.
• Use the following three symbols to annotate the text:

ELEMENT 4: ACTUAL OUTCOMES
• The actual outcomes identify how students performed
at the end of the instructional period.
• The guiding questions and statements included within this
element prompt teachers to record the actual number or
percentage of students who achieved the identified growth
targets.
EXAMPLE
• Read the responses to the guiding questions and
statement included in Element 4.
• Write a summary statement based on the information
presented in this section of the SLO template.

ELEMENT 5: TEACHER RATING
• The method for determining a teacher rating for
each SLO must be determined by the PERA joint
committee.
EXAMPLE
• Read the responses to the guiding questions and
statement included in Element 5.
