    measure. Tested subjects include reading, English language arts, mathematics, science, and socialstudies for grades 4-8 and all high school courses for which there is an End-of-Course Test (EOCT).

    Non-tested subjects include all courses not listed as tested subjects. Approximately 70-75% of allteachers teach non-tested subjects for at least some portion of the instructional day. For teachers ofnon-tested subjects, this component consists of the Georgia Department of Education approvedStudent Learning Objectives (SLOs) utilizing district-identified achievement growth measures.

    Student Learning Objective OverviewWhat is a Student Learning Objective SLO)?A vital component of the Teacher Keys Effectiveness System is Student Growth and AcademicAchievement. For teachers of tested subjects, this component consists of a student growth percentilemeasure. Tested subjects include reading, English language arts, mathematics, science, and socialstudies for grades 4-8 and all high school courses for which there is an End-of-Course Test (EOCT).

    Non-tested subjects include all courses not listed as tested subjects. Approximately 70-75% of allteachers teach non-tested subjects for at least some portion of the instructional day. For teachers ofnon-tested subjects, this component consists of the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE)-approved Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) utilizing district-identified achievement growthmeasures.

    District determined SLOs are content-specific, grade level learning objectives that are measureable,focused on growth in student learning, and aligned to curriculum standards. As a measure of teachers

    impact on student learning, SLOs give educators, school systems, and state leaders an additionalmeans by which to understand, value, and recognize success in the classroom.

    Purpose of SLOsThe primary purpose of SLOs is to improve student achievement at the classroom level. An equallyimportant purpose of SLOs is to provide evidence of each teachers instructional impact on studentlearning. The process of setting and using SLOs requires teachers to use assessments to measurestudent growth. This allows teachers to plan for student success by ensuring that every minute ofinstruction is moving students, teachers, and schools toward the common vision of exemplaryinstruction and high levels of student academic growth.

    Essential SLO ComponentsFocus on student learning

    By focusing on student learning, SLOs help teachers, principals, and districts pay close attention to theannual academic progress made by students (particularly those in non-tested subjects and grade

    levels). District-determined objectives are set using baseline data and are written with the expectationthat student learning in each classroom will be measured against baseline data. Only those topics thatclearly state expectations for student learning growth are to be included in objective setting. Ateachers professional growth objectives are not to be included.

    Aligned with curriculum standards

    SLOs must correlate with the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS), Common Core GeorgiaPerformance Standards (CCGPS), or other national standards for the course being taught. District-

  • 8/13/2019 Actionplan Resource

    5/8

    selected standards should warrant the year-long or course-long focus of the students and teachers.They should be rigorous, measureable, and should deepen and extend knowledge for all students inthe class/group/course. Each SLO must specify the exact course, subject, grade level, and set ofstandards for which it was designed.

    Interval of instructional time

    The interval of instruction is the length of time during which the SLO will be completed. Districtsshould determine the pre and post-assessment administration windows for each SLO. The majority ofSLOs should be written for the entire length of the course being taught. However, the nature ofspecific courses may require that the pre-assessment not be given at the very first of the instructionalperiod but should be administered a short time into the instructional period. For example, in a

    beginning band class, students may need to learn to position and use their instruments before theprogress on music standards can be pre assessed. For the majority of teachers, the instructionalperiod is the full academic year. However, for teachers with courses that span only part of theacademic, year, the instructional period will be the duration of that course, (e.g., a semester). Theinterval cannot change once approved.

    Scope of SLOs

    It is a district decision as to whether the SLO comprehensively addresses all standards taught in eachcourse or if it addresses a prioritized set of standards. If a district chooses a set of prioritizedstandards, teachers are expected to address the entire curriculum and not exclude standards notassessed in the SLO.

    Measureable objective

    A measureable objective is one that quantifies growth in student learning, typically based upon theresults of administration of pre- and post-assessments. Pre and post assessment scores are reportedfor each student in each teachers class.

    Assessments and measures

    An assessment is the instrument used to measure student learning of the objectives chosen. Each SLO

    must have a pre-assessment and post-assessment measure. Appropriate measures of student learninggains differ substantially based on the learners grade level, content area, and ability level. Thereforethe type and format of assessments will vary based on the standards to be measured. Carefulattention must be paid to how progress in relation to a given set of standards can most effectively bemeasured.

    Integrity of SLO process and results

    Opportunities to misrepresent student data or inappropriate interactions with students to affect preand post-assessment results may be minimized by:

    1- The use of signed assurances (SLO Manual - Appendix A)

    2- On-going, systematic triangulation of formal and informal data by administrators/evaluators(observations, report card grades, tests, walk-throughs, documentation of teacher work). SLO datashould be somewhat consistent with other student data.

    3- Collaborative planning of groups of teachers around SLOs results/implementation

    4- Utilization of Georgia Public Domain SLOs and assessments

    5- Use of electronic item bank (under development)

    6- Use of interchangeable passages, scenarios, numbers, etc. in assessment items

    7- Increased use of performance tasks

    8- Checking for inter-rater reliability of ratings; employ the use of sampling to ensure consistency ofraters
