Teacher Development Evaluation (TDE): Student Learning Goals (SLG) Series
Description
Student Learning Goals - Designing Systems for Success
This five-day workshop series will be offered at the Minnesota Department of Education and selected Regional Centers of Excellence locations.
This workshop series is designed to support districts and charter schools new to student learning goals (SLGs) and in the early stages of implementing SLGs. Many local teacher development and evaluation plans are using a target or goal-setting process to measure teachers' impact on student academic growth for 35% of their summative evaluation. This training would be beneficial to participants with limited or relatively no knowledge of SLGs. District and charter teams will have planning time to discuss key decision points and planning considerations.
Participants will (1) understand the SLG cycle and how SLGs are developed, (2) be able to explain what makes a high-quality SLG, (3) understand the various approaches to SLGs as well as their strengths and limitations, (4) recognize the benefits and technical challenges inherent in the SLG process, (5) utilize team planning time to develop action plans, discuss key decisions for local models and implementation, and plan professional development and (6) understand the critical role of training, guidance, scoring and monitoring in ensuring fidelity in the implementation of SLGs.
