     Student Learning Objectives (SLO) Training

Appraiser Two-Day SLO Training:
The Student Learning Objective (SLO) training is for districts considering or in the process of implementing SLO's as a student growth measure. Districts utilizing student learning objectives as a TIA student growth measure within their local designation systems are required to align their processes with the updated Texas SLO guidelines.  This training provides appraisers with an in-depth understanding of SLO and T-TESS connection and of the three SLO phases: Creating the SLO, Monitoring Progress, and Evaluating Success.  It is intended for administrators and instructional staff who will lead and implement this work. 
 
Appraisers will walk away with tools for T-TESS conferencing and instructional coaching, and for TIA implementation, as well as training resources to turn around to teachers. 
 
Teacher SLO Training/Workshop
We offer one day sessions for teachers to gain an in-depth understanding of the SLO process, as well as customizable support for your district or charter school to support teachers in creation and implementation of Texas SLOs. 

Please contact Gabby Joseph for more information on bringing these training opportunities to your district or charter school. 
 
 
 
 
T-TESS Refresher and Appraiser Calibration Training
 
We offer half-day sessions, virtually or on-site to equip appraisers with calibration protocols to facilitate in-house calibration sessions.  Please contact us to design a session customized to the needs of your district/charter school, which can also include a half-day T-TESS Refresher for certified appraisers.
