What documents do I need?
If you are in a summary year, the first step is to complete a Self-Review. This document is available on the district EE website (see previous page). Please note: You do NOT need to complete a Self-Review each year. If you completed one last year, you do not need to do it again. You can update the self-review if you wish, but again, this is not required. Also, you are NOT required to provide evidence in your self-review. There is a section after each domain titled “notes and evidence,” but this is supplemental and optional. After completing the Self-Review, consider your areas of strength and weakness when determining your SLO and PPG for the year.
If you are not in a summary year, you can start with your SLO Form and PPG Form. Remember that the SLO is the Student Learning Outcome, in other words, where you want your students to experience growth throughout the semester or year. You are encouraged to work with a peer or team to set an SLO. Only one SLO is required per year. The PPG is a Professional Practice Goal, an area that YOU would like to experience growth throughout the year. Your SLO and PPG can be connected, but they do not have to be.
No matter where you are in the process, two resources will provide most of the answers you seek. The Teacher Evaluation Process Manual (2014-2015 version) gives an extensive walk-through of the entire Educator Effectiveness Process. The second resource, The New DPI SLO Toolkit (2015), is more focused on the process of writing and documenting SLOs. Both are available on the district website.
