Be REal

The RIght to Know web app was developed to provide young people in Rhode Island with honest, accurate, and reliable sexual and reproductive health information, in a private and judgment-free way. Information is explained clearly, with a mix of text and visuals to organize content and enhance engagement and understanding.

Hints on writing your SLO:

  1. Gather Necessary Resources

    1. The first step in writing or revising an SLO is to gather the necessary resources including:

      • Indicators of a Strong SLO document Applicable content standards (including state, national, etc.)

      • Other pertinent documents including, but not limited to, historical data, identified district priorities, and/or curricular materials

  2. Connect with SLO Collaborators

    1. Meet with grade-level or content-alike colleagues to discuss ideas for SLOs. Writing collaboratively in teacher teams allows you to share your drafts with others for feedback. Taking time to consider multiple approaches and selecting precise language helps to create high-quality SLOs that foster good teaching and learning.

  3.  Identify What’s Most Important

    1. When creating an Objective Statement ask:

      a. What are the most important content or skills that my students need to know or be able to do at the end of the course?

      b. Is the scope or grain-size of my objective statement appropriate?

      c. Is the objective statement too broad? If so, it is not a targeted objective that is measurable and should not be used.

      d. Is the objective statement too narrow? If so, you may be able to teach it in a unit, but it will not be a central focus for you and your students throughout the interval of instruction.

      Consider instructional coherence and alignment to standards and district priorities.

  4. Ensure the SLO’s Anatomy Fits Together

    1. Indicators of a Strong SLO document to guide your thinking as you complete an SLO draft. Check for the following:

      a. Do all the pieces fit together and relate?

      b. Is each description in the appropriate section? It is easy to write an Objective Statement that is actually a Target or a Rationale for Target that is actually an explanation of an Evidence Source. All of the pieces should be highly connected, but it is important to clearly distinguish and explain each.
