Student learning objectives (SLOs) are set by teachers and their principal to measure classroom-specific student achievement growth for teacher evaluations.

With approximately 30 states now adopting (or planning to adopt) teacher evaluation policies that include SLOs, state and district leaders are trying to determine the appropriate level of guidance and oversight to support these efforts.

This REL West study of the pilot implementation of student learning objectives in Arizona and Utah in 2013/14 offers new evidence about this expanding approach to teacher evaluation.
