9. 1.Baseline and Trend Data 2.Student Population 3.Interval of Instruction 4.Standards and Content 5.Assessment(s) 6.Growth Target(s) 7.Rationale for Growth Target(s)

10. Identifies the class or subgroup of students covered by the SLO Describes the student population and covers any contextual factors that may impact student growth If subgroups are excluded, explains why and if they are covered in another SLO

11. Matches the length of the course Length of class period How often the class meets

12. How the SLO will address applicable standards Represents the big ideas or domains of the content – Technical Knowledge and Skills – Academic Knowledge and Skills – 21 st Century Skills Identifies core knowledge and skills as required by the applicable standards

13. Identifies assessments reviewed by content experts (valid and reliable) Select measures with sufficient “stretch”—all ability levels Provides a plan for combining assessments if multiple are used Follows the guidelines for appropriate assessments

14. Is the assessment aligned to both my students’ learning objectives and to the appropriate grade- or content-specific standards? Does the assessment allow high- and low- achieving students to adequately demonstrate their knowledge? Does it have enough “stretch?” Is the assessment valid and reliable?

15. Recall—Level One Basic Application of Skill or Concept— Level Two Strategic Thinking— Level Three Extended Thinking— Level Four

16. Less Focus On Assessing: What is easily measured Discrete, declarative content Content knowledge What learners do not know More Focus On Assessing: What is most highly valued Rich, authentic knowledge and skills Understanding and reasoning, within and across content areas What learners understand and can do

17. Identifies sources of information about students Draws upon trend data, if available Summarizes the teacher’s analysis of the baseline data by identifying student strengths and weaknesses

18. All students have a growth target in at least one SLO Sets developmentally appropriate targets Creates tiered targets when appropriate Sets ambitious yet attainable targets

19. Demonstrates teacher knowledge of student content Explains why target is appropriate for the population Addresses observed student needs Uses data to identify student needs Explains how targets align with broader school and district goals Sets rigorous expectations for students and teacher(s)

20. Review the Health Technologies SLO Provide feedback on each category of the checklist – Warm: strengths that reflect the criteria – Cool: suggestions for refinement or improvements Be prepared to share sample warm and cool feedback with the large group

22. 1.What are the characteristics of effective CTE SLOs? Would you add or alter any criteria on the checklist? 2.What are the challenges in implementing SLOS for – Districts – Administrators – Teachers

24. 1.Conduct an inventory of needs and resources 2.Determine and create student growth measures to be used 3.Communicate expectations and refine the entire process

25. 1a. Explore opportunities for collaboration with other LEAs, educational service centers (ESCs) and higher education institutions within your community and/or region. 1b. Determine which teachers on staff are required to be evaluated by the new system.

26. 1c. Categorize teachers into three groups: – Value-added data – ODE approved data list – None of the above 1d. Determine available assessments and develop a list of assessments and other data that are appropriate for use in combination with SLOs in various grade levels and content areas within your LEA.

27. Program/Course Assessment Name Assessment Details/Purpose

28. 1.Conduct an inventory of needs and resources 2.Determine and create student growth measures to be used 3.Communicate expectations and refine the entire process

30. What is currently underway? What assessments are in place? What resources are available? How can we collaborate?
