Who? Students 
What? Learning Objectives (Goals) 
When? January, 2015 
Where? State-Wide (LTMS) 
How? Baby steps! 
So.......in last year's discussion you asked... 
What students do we select and how many? 
How do we develop the SLO's? 
How can we have this ready for school next in September if we do not 
get the data and identify the students we want to target? 
When will we have the time to do one more thing? 
Is this here for good? 
How will this figure into my evaluation and what if the students do not 
reach the goals?

GOAL FOR TODAYSLO 
Gain a better understanding of the SLO's and complete 
section 1 of the SLO template.
It is aimed at targeting 
learning goals and needs 
to be aligned to the PA 
core and district priorities. 
Basically......they are 
SMART Goals 
WHAT? 
A student learning objective, or SLO, is an 
academic goal set by the teacher for a 
group of students at the start of the course.

SLO
SLO
Specific 
The goals must be specific and 
measurable, based on available 
prior student learning data. 
This baseline data may come 
from a variety of sources such as 
pre-tests, pre-assessments 
and/or a student's prior academic 
history. The SLO's will be agreed 
upon. 
This end-of-course-performance 
can be captured in a variety of 
ways, such as through 
performance tasks, extended 
essay responses, and/or other 
authentic application of skills. 
Based on 
prior 
Student 
data 
We can 
use CDT 
for LA, 
SS and 
Science 
Measurable 
Timely 
Realistic 
Attainable 
The key is to assure 
attainable SLO's

Opportunity 
SLO's will allow us to present a broader, more meaningful 
picture of student growth and achievement 
Connect to work we are doing in curriculum, instruction and 
assessment 
Thought-provoking and time-consuming but should inform 
strong instructional practice without an increase in testing 
Use technology to expand ways for students to 
demonstrate understanding in ways they were previously 
unable to do so
