SLO template for 3rd grade

Population / All 3rd grade classes, including X # of students with IEPs, X # of ELL students, and X # of inclusion/special education classes- Rosters attached.
Learning content / CC.3 W.7 Conduct short research projects that build knowledge about a topic.
CC.3 W.8 Recall information from experiences or gather information from print and digital sources; take brief notes on sources and sort evidence into provided categories.
CC.3 RIT.5 Use text features and search tools (e.g., key words, sidebars, hyperlinks) to locate information relevant to a given topic efficiently.
CC.3 RIT.7 Use information gained from illustrations (e.g., maps, photographs) and the words in a text to demonstrate understanding of the text (e.g., where, when, why, and how key events occur).
CC.3 RIT.9 Compare and contrast the most important points and key details presented in two texts on the same topic.
AASL 1.1.4 Find, evaluate, and select appropriate sources to answer questions.
AASL 1.1.5 Evaluate information found in selected sources on the basis of accuracy, validity, appropriateness for needs, importance, and social and cultural context.
AASL 1.3.5 Use information technology responsibly.
AASL 2.1.6 Use the writing process, media and visual literacy, and technology skills to create products that express new understandings.
Interval / 2012-2013 academic year, meeting X times/year for X minutes/session, less those times students are pulled for scheduled services.
Evidence / District/BOCES created baseline assessment given within the first 2 months of the academic year.
District/BOCES created summative assessment given at the end of the academic year.
Baseline / The starting level of the students’ knowledge at the beginning of the instructional period:
X# of students with a raw score of 0-25 on baseline exam.
X# of students with a raw score of 26-50 on baseline exam.
X# of students with a raw score of 51-75 on baseline exam.
X# of students with a raw score of 76-100 on baseline exam.
*Based on the baseline exam, ELA scores, list additional data.
Targets / 75% of students will grow to a score of X% or higher on the summative for the selected standards.
OR
80% of students will increase by 50 points from pre- to post-test. OR
75% of students will score at least 65% on the post-test OR
85% of students will progress half way from the pre-test to 100%

HEDI scoring / Highly Effective
(18-20 points) / Effective
(12-17 points)
[set anchor point here] / Developing
(3-11 points) / Ineffective
(0-2 points)
Rationale / Our learning content is based on the most relevant ELA CC Learning Standards as well as AASL Standards for the 21st Century Learner. We assume students have had a prior introduction to basic literacy skills and, in the absence of standardized test data, we will use the baseline assessment to determine students’ specific levels of information literacy skills and knowledge of library print and non-print sources. The summative assessment will determine any improvement in students’ ability to locate, navigate, use, and evaluate appropriate print and non-print sources. The summative score is calculated using the summative assessment rubric (see Attached X).

Outcome: Students will be able to gather appropriate information from 2 or more formats taking brief notes and organize them.

CC.3 RIT.5 Use text features and search tools (e.g., key words, sidebars, hyperlinks) to locate information relevant to a given topic efficiently.

Outcome: Students will be able to identify text features and search tools. (underline or highlight)

CC.3 RIT.7 Use information gained from illustrations (e.g., maps, photographs) and the words in a text to demonstrate understanding of the text (e.g., where, when, why, and how key events occur).

Outcome: Students will be able to use information gained from illustrations and words in a text to demonstrate understanding.

CC.3 RIT.9 Compare and contrast the most important points and key details presented in two texts on the same topic.

Outcome: Students will be able to compare and contrast the most important points and key details presented in two texts on the same topic.
