It also determines the percentage who made their targets.
The spreadsheet has a formula to compute whether or not students made their targets.
When Setting Targets for SLO’s
• • • • Examine your passing and mastery rates from the last few years.
Set targets that will result in you getting the same or better results.
Set a minimum rigor expectation or minimum acceptable score to “close the gap”.
No student should have a failing grade as a target!
