 Beginning in mid-December 2011 and running through
the
end of February 2012, NYSED will host a series of
introductory webinars on Student Learning Objectives.
Each webinar will introduce components of the SLO
process to explain how New York State will assess
the student learning growth of students in classrooms
where there is no State assessment that can be used
for a State-provided growth or value-added measure.
SLO’s
will apply to a large majority of teachers in every
school. Teachers who do not teach in Grades 4-8
ELA and Math will have SLOs, and all principals
will participate in the implementation of this process
for the 2012-2013 school year according to Ken Slentz,
Associate Commissioner.
The
first webinar (which aired December 20, 2011) provided
viewers with the following information:
-
the background and basics of SLOs
- the
relationship between SLOs, the Common Core State
Standards, Data Driven Instruction, evidence-based
observations, and local measures of student achievement;
and
- the
difference between the state/district/school/teacher’s
role within the SLO process.
