Under Act 13, teachers are encouraged to complete a Student Performance Measure (SPM) template each school year for their LEA Selected Measure requirement. The LEA Selected Measures constitutes at least 10% of a teachers overall score on the 13-1 form. However, an LEA may still allow their teachers to complete an SLO template for this requirement. To learn more, visit Getting Started with the Student Performance Measure.
SLOs are initiated by the teacher.
