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.

PDE’s Definition: A process to document a measure of educator effectiveness based on student achievement of content standards.
Student Learning Objective
![Page 10: STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES (SLOs) Orientation Module © Pennsylvania Department of Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649e245503460f94b120b2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Assessment Literacy• The skills, knowledge, and concepts associated with sound
assessment practices, including the critical review of quality evidence.
Goal Statement• Narrative articulating the “Big Idea” upon which the SLO is
based.
Standards• Targeted content standards used in developing SLOs, which
are the foundation of performance measures.
Terminology
![Page 11: STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES (SLOs) Orientation Module © Pennsylvania Department of Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649e245503460f94b120b2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Rationale Statement• Narrative providing reasons why the Goal Statement and the
targeted content standards address important learning.
Blueprint• Visual depiction of the relationship among key SLO
components.
Performance Measure• An assessment tool used to measure the knowledge and
skills acquired by students.
Terminology (cont.)
![Page 12: STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES (SLOs) Orientation Module © Pennsylvania Department of Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649e245503460f94b120b2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Performance Indicator• Statement of the expected level of achievement on each
performance measure.
Elective Rating• Comprise four levels of performance:
• DISTINGUISHED, PROFICIENT, NEEDS IMPROVEMENT, and FAILING.
• Reflect an “expectations continuum” established by the educator prior to the evaluation period and then examined at the end of the evaluation period.
Terminology (cont.)

SLO Process Phases
![Page 14: STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES (SLOs) Orientation Module © Pennsylvania Department of Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649e245503460f94b120b2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Guiding Principles
SLOs should:1. Represent student performance in a specific course/content
area 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 on two time-bound events/data collection periods and/or summative performance with defined levels of achievement.
5. Include performance indicators linked to performance measures.

The SLO process contains three (3) phases:
I. Design (ing): thinking, conceptualizing, organizing, discussing, researching
II. Build (ing): selecting, developing, sharing, completing
III. Review (ing): refining, checking, updating, editing, testing, finalizing
SLO Process Phases

16
SLO Process Phases DESIGN
• Thinking about what content standards to measure
• Organizing standards and measures• Discussing collective goals with
colleagues• Researching what is needed for a high
quality SLO
![Page 17: STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES (SLOs) Orientation Module © Pennsylvania Department of Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649e245503460f94b120b2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

SLO Process Phases BUILD
• Selecting the performance measure(s) • Developing targets and expectations• Completing the template• Sharing the draft materials with other
colleagues
![Page 18: STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES (SLOs) Orientation Module © Pennsylvania Department of Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649e245503460f94b120b2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
SLO Process Phases 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 SLO with
performance data

The Orientation Module-• Shared the conceptual framework,
resources, and tools associated with the SLO process.
• Discussed the phases and guiding principles used in creating student learning objectives.
