Abstract

The 2012 Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) plan in New York State (NYS) requires educators to develop Student Learning Objectives (SLO) for high school teachers. Nassau BOCES developed formulas using multiple regression based on historical NYSED student data and demographics to predict student outcomes for courses that ended in 2013 NYS high school assessments. The data for this study included all high school students in the data warehouse maintained by Nassau BOCES, New York who took a 2013 Regent. The formulas created were then used to predict individual student results for the 2014 NYSED assessments. This paper discusses the history of SLOs in NYS, in-district considerations for developing SLOs, regression model methodology, and an evaluation of the model comparing actual 2014 student results to predicted 2014 student results.
