Parent Feedback Process
1. A parent survey will be conducted at the district/school level.
2. One school-level goal based on the district survey feedback will be determined by the principal.
3. Each teacher identifies one personal goal related to the parent engagement goal and sets improvement targets.
4. Evaluator and teacher measure progress on growth targets.
5. Evaluator determines a teacher’s summative rating based on the four performance levels.

Student Learning Objectives Student Learning Objectives (SLOs)(SLOs)
• Based on teacher’s assignment, students and context.
• Carefully planned, long-term academic objectives.
• Reflect high, yet attainable, expectations for learning or improvement and aim for mastery of content or skill development.
• Measured by Indicators of Academic Growth and Development (IAGDs), which include specific assessments/measures of progress and targets for student mastery or progress.
21
TEVAL - Pg. 19
SLO Process
22
The SLO process will support teachers in using a planning cycle that will be familiar to most educators:
SLO Phase 1:
Review data
SLO Phase 2:
Set goals for student
learning
SLO Phase 3:
Monitor student progress
SLO Phase 4:Assess student
outcomes relative to
goals
• Developing SLOs is a process rather than a single event. • The purpose is to craft SLOs that serve as a reference point throughout
the year as teachers document their students’ progress toward achieving the IAGD targets.
• Teachers may develop them through consultation with colleagues in the same grade level or teaching the same subject.
• The final determination of SLOs and IAGDs is made through mutual agreement between the teacher and his/her evaluator.
TEVAL - Pg. 20
23
Guiding Questions for Student Learning Objectives (SLO)
• What are the objectives for student learning?
• What is the rationale for choosing these objectives?
• How will we know when objectives are met?
What Makes a Good Student What Makes a Good Student Learning Objective? (SLO)Learning Objective? (SLO)
• Includes broad goal statements about the knowledge and skills students should demonstrate as a result of instruction;
• Addresses the central purpose of the teacher’s assignment;
• Takes into account baseline data on student performance from a number of data sources;
• Pertains to a large proportion of a teacher’s students, including specific target groups;
• Reflects significant growth of content mastery or skill development; and
• Reflects attainable, but ambitious goals for student learning.
24
TEVAL - Pg. 21
Objectives Will IncludeObjectives Will Include
• A broad goal (SLO) for student learning that addresses a central purpose;
• A rationale that explains why this is an important area of improvement; and
• At least one IAGD which is the specific evidence, with a quantitative target, that will demonstrate whether the objective was met. ( Multiple IAGDs may be used)
25
26
Student Learning Objective (SLO 1)
• SLO 1 is a learning objective based on the school-wide goal that supports the school-wide need.
• This goal identifies core ideas, domains, knowledge and skills students are expected to acquire for which baseline data indicate a need.
Example of SLO 1Example of SLO 1Grade 4Grade 4
Goal• All students will improve their reading comprehension of informational text,
as measured by their ability to use explicitly stated information to answer questions about the text, identify the general topic of a text, and make inferences and/or draw conclusions about central ideas that are relative to the text. (CCSS, Reading for Informational Text, Key Ideas and Details)
Rationale• Our school reading data (Language Arts) suggests that reading
comprehension is an area of relative weakness among our students. A closer analysis of school-wide data indicates that comprehension of informational text is an issue. Given the emphasis on reading of information text in the CCSS, it was agreed that this is an important area of focus right now.
* * Other examples on p. 22 of the Teacher Evaluation & Support Plan.
27
28
Student Learning Objective (SLO 2)
SLO 2 is a learning objective that will address a central purpose of the teacher’s assignment and it should pertain to a meaningful proportion of his/her students, related to data; Each SLO should reflect high expectations for student learning and should be aligned to relevant state, national (e.g., common core), or district standards for the grade level or course; and
SLO 2 is measured by both standardized and non-standardized indicators.
Examples of SLO 2 Based Examples of SLO 2 Based On Student DataOn Student Data
29
Grade/Subject Student Learning Objective

TEVAL - Pg. 22
SLO and IAGD
30
SLO (Student Learning Objective) •Teacher will develop SLO and teacher and evaluator will agree upon the SLO using all student information available.
IAGD (Indicators of Academic Growth and Development)•Teacher and evaluator will also agree upon Indicators of Academic Growth and Development (IAGD) that incorporate specific evidence and have quantitative targets that demonstrate whether the SLO was met.
What are Indicators of Academic Growth and Achievement? (IAGDs)• Are based on results of assessments, which may
include standardized and non-standardized measures;
• May require consultation with colleagues with more expertise to determine appropriate measures and targets;
• Indicator statements for the teacher evaluation should follow SMART Goal language: Specific/Strategic, Measurable, Aligned/Attainable, Results-Oriented and Time-Bound; and
• Multiple IAGDs may be used.31
TEVAL - Pg. 22
Consider These Components Consider These Components When Writing an IAGD:When Writing an IAGD:
1. Learning Content: What does the baseline data indicate you need to focus on with your students?
2. Population: What students will this objective address?
3. Interval of Instructional Time: How long is the interval of instruction (i.e., weeks, quarters, semesters, school year)?
4. Assessment: How are you going to measure student growth?
5. Expected Gain or Growth: How much are your students going to grow?

See additional SLO’s with corresponding IAGD’s on pg. 25 of the TEVAL Plan
Rating Teacher Performance on SLOs as Measured by IAGDs
Evaluators will review the evidence and the teacher’s self-assessment and assign one of four ratings to each SLO: Exceeded (4 points), Met (3 points), Partially Met (2 points), or Did Not Meet (1 point). These ratings are defined as follows:
35
Exceeded (4)All or most students met or substantially exceeded the target(s) contained in the indicator(s).
Met (3)Most students met the target(s) contained in the indicators within a few points on either side of the target(s).
Partially Met (2)Many students met the target(s) but a notable percentage missed the target by more than a few points. However, taken as a whole, significant progress towards the goal was made.
Did Not Meet (1)A few students met the target(s) but a substantial percentage of students did not. Little progress toward the goal was made.
