Change Aggregation Method
The overall score for an SLO should be based off of the most recent evidence. That is the aggregation method every teacher should use. If your gradebook is not set to that method, here's how you change it in under a minute!

Supplemental SLO Submission Form
Supplemental SLO Submission Form
The current SLO lists in Synergy represent the best thinking of our teacher groups who worked hard on this process. It is intended to be complete. If there is an exception that calls for consideration of an additional SLO, it will require a compelling reason and appeal process to have it added. We have recently crafted a protocol for this and have provided the details below:
Site PLC teams who wish to submit an additional SLO to the current course list must complete the accompanying google form.
Submissions will go directly to a designated administrator at your site. If they approve of this target, it will then be sent to the appropriate content facilitator or specialist.
If the content facilitator/specialist approves the submission, it will be added to a supplemental SLO list in Synergy (i.e., if an Algebra I team submits an SLO, it will not be added to the “AFUHSD Algebra I” list, but instead the “Supplemental Algebra I List”).
If the SLO was not approved at any point in this process, the teacher who submitted the SLO will be notified promptly
This approval process (from submission to upload) can take up to a week so please plan accordingly
