STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES (SLOs)
1
Orientation Module
Goal
Design ● Build ● Review student learning objectives (SLOs) for
use in guiding instruction and determining student mastery
and/or growth as part of Pennsylvania’s teacher effectiveness
system.
Participants will:
1. Review each component used in the SLO process, including
the role of high-quality performance measures.
2. Examine tools and techniques available to teachers and
principals.

Student Learning Objective
Assessment Literacy
• Technical and operational understanding of the assessment “life
cycle”, including the critical examination of statistic evidence.
Goal Statement
• Narrative articulating the “big idea” upon which the SLO is
based.
Standards
• Targeted content standards used in developing SLOs; The
foundation by which performance measures are created.
9
Terminology
Rationale Statement
• Narrative providing reasons why the Goal Statement and
the aligned Standards addressing important learning.
Blueprints
• Used to visually depict the relationship among key SLO
components.
Performance Indicators
• A description of the expected level of achievement for each
student in the SLO population.
10
Additional Details (cont.)
Teacher Expectations-Level
• Four levels of projected performance regarding the PI,
reflecting a continuum established by the educator prior to
the evaluation period.
• Each performance level (i.e., Failing, Needs Improvement,
Proficient, and Distinguished)

SLO Process Components
Guiding Principles
SLOs should: 1. Represent student performance in a specific course/content taught
by the educator.
2. Align to a targeted set of content standards that represent the
depth and breadth of the goal statement.
3. Contain results from only high-quality performance measures
collected in an equitable, verifiable, and standardized manner.
4. Use metrics based upon two time-bound events/data collection
periods and/or summative performance with defined levels
achievement.
5. Include a performance indicators linked to performance measures.
13
The SLO process contains three (3) action
components:
1. Design (ing): thinking, conceptualizing,
organizing, discussing, researching
2. Build (ing): selecting, developing, sharing,
completing
3. Review (ing): refining, checking, updating,
editing, testing, finalizing

SLO Process Components
15
SLO Process Components DESIGN
• Thinking about what content standards to measure
• Organizing standards and measures • Discussing with colleagues collective
goals • Researching what is needed for a high
quality SLO
16
SLO Process Components BUILD
• Selecting the performance measure(s) • Developing targets and expectations • Completing the template • Sharing the draft materials with other
colleagues
17
SLO Process Components REVIEW
• Checking the drafted SLO (including the performance measures for quality
• Refining measures and targets • Editing text and preparing discussion
points/highlights for principal • Finalizing materials • Updating completed SLOs with performance
data
The Orientation Module-
• Share the conceptual framework,
resources, and tools.
• Discuss the components and guiding
principles used in creating student
learning objectives.
