Step 1. Identify a performance measure for each objective and provide a purpose statement that addresses the What, Why, and How of the performance measure (4.1, 4.2).
Step 2. Reference the Targeted Content/Professional Standards (2.2), determine students’ expected level of performance, and select the metric for evaluating the performance measure (4.3, 4.4, 4.5).
Step 3. Identify the administration procedures and scoring tools for each performance measure (4.6, 4.7).
Step 4. State the final results of each performance measure (4.8).
Step 5. Determine the SLO/SSO rating based on the overall performance.

meets the coherency criteria.
• Phase 2 (Build) evaluates six aspects of this
