Identify who will have State-provided growth measures and who must have SLOs as “comparable growth measures. ” Determine district rules for how specific SLOs will get set. Establish expectations for scoring SLOs and for determining teacher ratings for the growth component. Determine district-wide processes for setting, reviewing, and assessing SLOs in schools. 3/01 4/16 5/31 Note: These dates are recommended so NTI participants are prepared for their training sessions. www. engage.

Step 1. District Leaders Assess and Identify Priorities and Needs* • What are the District’s overall priorities, needs, and long-term goals? • HINT: refer to your district strategic plans, and ensure alignment to the Common Core. • HINT: remember that principals and teachers will be held accountable to goals aligned with the district’s stated priorities. • HINT: the more prescriptive district level goals are, the less variation you will see in (content and rigor of) school/classroom goals. *See Attachment 1 and 2 of Resource 1: “New Paltz Educational Master Plan” and “Batavia City Schools Comprehensive District Education Plan” for two examples of districts whose goals and priorities set them up for learning and success. www. engage.
