    This video covers how to develop an SLO using past performance trends and student historical data in order to inform and determine appropriate targets and to inform instructional decisions and approaches.  We will look at two separate course sections: a US History Regents course where the summative measure will be the Regents exam and an 8th Grade Science class that culminates in a State assessment.

  • Sample SLOs Across the Curriculum 2012-2013

    The 2012-13 school year was the first full year of implementation of the Student Learning Objective (SLO) process for all districts and BOCES in New York.  In an effort to continue to guide and support the design and implementation of high quality SLOs, the Department requested sample SLOs from the field to share on EngageNY.  These samples have been annotated, indicating notes of alignment to best practice found in each SLO.

    Please note that the SLOs posted here provide a variety of approaches and are intended as examples only. For instance, the learning content identified within these SLOs may not directly reflect the knowledge and/or skills outlined for your own course as these decisions rest at the district and BOCES level. Districts and BOCES, within the context of State Regulations and frameworks, should determine how specific SLOs will be set after assessing their unique priorities and needs.
