PHASE 3:
STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVE (SLO) PROCESS
1. Identify a Goal
• Determine which students will be targeted for the goal.
2. Identify or Create an Assessment that Measures the Intended Goal
• Assessments must align to the assessment categories identified by the school administration. For example, "Internal, Classroom, Summative."
• A minimum of one Student Learning Objective (SLO) must be completed in the required assessment category for CITE 6 to be complete.
• The intended assessment must be in the assessment library to be used for the Student Learning Objective (SLO) process.
3. Collect and Analyze Baseline Data
• Baseline data can be collected any time during the year.
• Baseline data should represent the beginning of a designated learning cycle.
4. Target Student Success
• Teachers will need to ensure that the learning cycle is long enough for measurable growth to occur for their students.
• Targets need to be "rigorous yet realistic" for all students.
• Teachers will need to use professional judgment about their students. It may be beneficial to consider a larger body of evidence beyond the baseline data score when setting targets.
5. Enter Final Data
• Final data may be collected any time during the year.
• Final data should represent the end of a designated learning cycle.
• Final data collection times typically should not vary for students within the same SLO.
6. Reflect on the SLO process
• What worked or didn't work?
• How well did your assessment(s) measure the intended goal(s) and growth of students?
• Were the targets you set rigorous yet realistic for all students?
• In what ways has the SLO process impacted you?
