I think we are confusing Growth Measure SLOs with Local Measure SLOs. For classes with a state exam, you must use the state test data as evidence. For that reason, I don't believe you want to target individual performance indicators/

Steve, I absolutely agree with you. I think that the SLOs for the State Growth component should be more global in nature.

I've posted a file we've been using as a planning template (slo planning documents Updated.xlsx)

Do we have any information on how the state will be defining the GROWTH element of their measure?

How will schools accomplish scoring of constructed responses in accordance with the stipulation that "assessments are not scored by teachers and principals wth a vested interest in the outcome of the assessment"?

Gail - If you have your teachers work together to create the assessment under the guidance of district personnel, part of that design would likely include the scoring rubrics and methodology. After administration of the assessment you have scoring work much the way it does for the Grades 3-8 and Regents examinations and would not have to spend too much more time reviewing the scoring materials since all would be present.

Theresa - It's not the creation of the assessment and the test security that is of concern. We can do that. It's the actual scoring of constructed responses by teachers who have a vested interest in the outcome. Our understanding is that in order to meet the "vested interest" stipulation, teachers outside of that building would need to score the constructed response items. Ken Slentz' earlier communication to the Board of Regents indicated that schools were expected to build capacity this year to address the vested interest stipulation. 2013 Grades 3-8 Tests and Regents constructed response items will need to be scored by teachers who do not teach in that building in order to maintain both scorer criteria and so that both principal and teachers do not have a vested interest in the outcome.

That is the first interpretation I have heard that does not allow teachers within the building to score the assessments. How would that work for smaller districts where there is only one building/principal?

Please reference the Student Learning Objectives Guidance Document(revised February 2012), page 20, item 8, which articulates the expectation that "teachers and principals do not have a vested interest in the assessments they score" as it applies to student learning objectives. SLO Help reiterated this expectation in response to our question to scoring expectations for SLOs. I know how much work is involved in developing SLOs and don't want to go down the wrong path.
