Student Learning Objectives
SLO Toolkit
The Student Learning Objective Toolkit is a resource developed by the Center to help educators map out the process for developing quality SLOs. The Toolkit currently consists of:
A video module that introduces Student Learning Objectives and the development process.
Introduction to SLOs
A video module that describes baseline data and their use in establishing targets on Student Learning Objectives. SLOs: Establishing the Baseline
A PowerPoint that walks through the process and the accompanying materials. It even has a script, so users can utilize the presentation for professional development, or to get more details than what is stated on each slide: SLO Training
A blank template, which indicates the components that need to be completed for developing an SLO: Blank SLO Template
In order to ensure that the SLO is coherent and cohesive, it is recommended to first use the SLO Planning Information: SLO Planning Pages
An instructional guide, which provides guidance in understanding the SLO template and the process for developing a cohesive and acceptable quality SLO: Instructional Guide for Developing Student Learning Objectives
A guidance document to understand the use of baseline data to set SLO targets: Using Baseline Data and Information to set SLO Targets
A rubric for rating the quality of SLOs, to be sure that the content included all meet a minimum requirement before it is used for teacher ratings: Rubric for Rating the Quality of SLOs
An example using 12th grade social studies, that includes the SLO Template and Planning Pages (including the teacher rating): Social Studies SLO Example, Social Studies SLO Planning Pages Example and an accompanying annotated version that shows how each piece can be analyzed: Annotated Social Studies SLO Example.
A Tool that provides a framework for evaluating the quality of an SLO and serves as a companion to the SLO Rubric: SLO Review Tool
