By now, everyone has had a summative conference, but the question remains, "How will my SLO data impact my summative?" Well, here is some info:

When you complete your SLO cycle, you should have beginning (pre-test) and ending (post-test) data. We used the tiered targets that looked like this:

Pretest Score		Posttest Target
Range Begin	Range End	Minimum Expected
0	40	60
41	50	70
51	70	80
71	85	90
86	100	95

So, if a student scored at a 51 on the pre-test, they needed to get to 70 to show growth. If you had a student meet their target then you could count them toward your growth. The SLO Progress Tracker (which really is a simple way of monitoring progress, but apparently we need to talk about more) would then calculate the number and percentage of students you had achieve growth. On the dashboard page is a scale:

Scoring
Insufficient Attainment	Less than 65% of students meet or exceed differentiated growth target
Partial Attainment	65 - 79% of students meet or exceed differentiated growth target
Acceptable Attainment	80 - 93% of students meet or exceed differentiated growth target
Exceptional Attainment	At least 94% of students meet or exceed differentiated growth target

Of course our goal is for everyone to show some growth, but, being realistic, this may not be the case. It may also happen that you get some growth, but not to that next cut point.

There is a rubric at the end of the current summative evaluation that rates teachers as Emerging, Developing, Proficient, and Distinguished. This takes into account years in position, areas of concern, and the indicator rating from your growth plan. A rubric that includes SLO data would look something like this:

This isn't an official district document, but shows you how your data could impact where you fall in the grand scheme of things.  So, if you had taught for 10 years, had no areas of concern, indicators of 6 or better, but only showed partial student growth, you may fall in the "effective" category rather than the "highly effective".

I know I've shown this video before, but it's worth sharing again.
