Student Learning Objectives (SLO)

Teachers with small class sizes have unique challenges in developing growth targets for their SLOs. This webinar from the New York State Department of Education explores alternative target-setting approaches for use within SLOs, particularly for teachers with small class sizes. 

The New York State Department of Education developed this webinar to explore a variety of target-setting models, including individual growth targets, classwide minimum rigor, classwide growth to mastery, banded/range-based, and Half to 100/Close the Gap. This webinar examines criteria that align with the target-setting models, considerations when setting targets, and outcomes based on the various target-setting models. 

In this webinar from the New York State Department of Education, participants will explore aspects of preparing for and developing SLOs, identify key actions to increase efficiency and quality of SLO development, and consider various resources that support the different stages of work. This webinar is intended for principals and other building leaders who are managing and leading the SLO process.
