WHAT IS A STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVE?
=== A Student Learning Objective is an academic goal for a teacher’s students that is set at the start of a course. It represents the most important learning for the year (or, semester, where applicable). It must be specific and measurable, based on available prior student learning data, and aligned to Common Core, State, or national standards, as well as any other school and District priorities. Teachers’ scores are based upon the degree to which their goals were attained. ===

• Target and HEDI Criteria: what is the expected outcome (target) by the end of the instructional period?
=== • HEDI Criteria: how will evaluators determine what range of student performance “meets” the goal (effective) versus “well-below”,” (ineffective), “below” (developing), and “well-above” (highly effective). These ranges translate into HEDI categories to determine teachers’ final rating for the growth Districts must set their expectations for the HEDI ratings and scoring: HEDI criteria can be determined at the time of target-setting or Districts can choose to let principal judgment apply. ===
