Most districts struggle to connect strategic goals to classroom practice. Teachers set goals in isolation, making it impossible to measure collective impact.
Teacher goals don't connect to school or district priorities, making strategic planning ineffective.
Student Learning Objectives tracked in spreadsheets, making progress monitoring nearly impossible.
Administrators can't see goal progress until end-of-year reviews, missing intervention opportunities.
Goals and evaluations live in separate systems, preventing meaningful growth conversations.

Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) are measurable goals teachers set for student growth. Many states require SLOs as part of teacher evaluation systems, including Texas T-TESS, Ohio OTES, and others.
Our platform simplifies SLO creation with templates aligned to your state's requirements, tracks progress throughout the year, and integrates results directly into teacher evaluation scores.

Common questions about goal setting and SLO tracking
Student Learning Objectives are measurable, long-term academic goals that teachers set at the beginning of the year for all students. SLOs are used in many state teacher evaluation systems as a student growth measure, connecting student achievement to educator effectiveness. Our platform provides templates and tracking tools specifically designed for SLO requirements.
Our cascading goal system creates automatic alignment. District administrators set strategic goals, principals create school improvement plans linked to those goals, and teachers set professional and SLO goals that connect to their school's priorities. The system visualizes these connections and shows how individual teacher work contributes to organizational objectives.
Effective SMART goals are Specific (target a clear area for improvement), Measurable (include quantifiable metrics), Achievable (realistic given available resources), Relevant (aligned with school and district priorities), and Time-bound (have clear deadlines). Our platform provides templates and guidance to help teachers write goals that meet all SMART criteria.
Yes! Goal progress is automatically included in teacher evaluation reports. Evidence collected during classroom walkthroughs can be linked to specific goals, and goal conferences are built into the evaluation workflow. This creates a seamless connection between goal setting and performance evaluation.
Many states include Student Learning Objectives in their teacher evaluation frameworks, including Texas (T-TESS), Ohio (OTES), South Carolina, Michigan, and others. Our platform includes state-specific SLO templates that meet your state's particular requirements for format, approval, and scoring.
