SLO Frequently Asked Questions

Q:        What do I do if I have not received a link to a folder
A:        Contact Holly Allen holly.allen@jordandistrict.org. She can either make you a folder and send you a link or let you know whether or not you need a folder.

Q:        What do I do if my SLO Folder is empty?
A:        Contact Holly Allen holly.allen@jordandistrict.org or Brooke Anderson brooke.anderson@jordandistrict.org. They can put the correct information into your SLO Folder.

Q:        Can I change the names of my folders?
A:        No. If you change the name of any of the folders or any of the files, the program used to download and process educator scores will not be able to access your score.

Q:        How many SLO Growth Sheets do I need to submit?
A:        You only need to submit one SLO Growth Sheet. You do NOT need to submit one of each. Please refer to the tutorials in the SLO Folder to understand which growth worksheet you should submit.

Q:        How many classes does a teacher need to submit for their SLO assessments?
A:        Teachers will submit only one class for an SLO.

Q:        If a teacher teaches multiple subjects, how many class periods should they submit?
A:        Teachers will submit only one period for an SLO.

Q:        If a teacher teaches a year-long class, but kids moved to a different class period at the semester, how should they sync student scores?
A:        Include only the students that are in the same class period the whole year.

Q:        What if I want to use my SAGE MGP?
A:        If you are using your SAGE MGP, you do not need to turn in an SLO growth sheet. (Be aware that as per legislation, there are questions whether SAGE MGPs can be used for evaluation purposes after this year.)

Q:        Is there a different due date for teachers that are completing a full JPAS evaluation versus an interim??
A:        No. The due date is the same whether the teacher is on a full JPAS or an interim.

Q:        Do teachers submit their SLO growth worksheet to the principal who then stores it in each individual teacher folders?
A:        No. Teachers will submit their SLO growth worksheet to the “TURN_IN” folder that is located in their SLO Folder.
