After 5 years of using SLOs, teachers said:
These kids are “crazy good” by the end of the year!
I can count on what students will know and be able to do when they enter my classroom each year because of our school-wide SLO focus.
I value the professional conversations I have with my principal about what I do in my classroom and why I do it.
