Supervisors: Using Student Learning & Licensure

Student Learning & Licensure (SL&L) is the College of Education’s platform for managing student assessments, clinical experiences, placements, internships, and other program activities. This page provides information to help you access and navigate SL&L, complete the activities associated with your role, and find tutorials and support when you need them.

Getting Started

How do I log into SL&L?

Supervisors can use their PSU account to log in to SL&L at staff.sll.pdx.edu or by going to Student Learning and Licensure and clicking on the appropriate login link. Note that students have a separate link to access SL&L (sll.pdx.edu).

SL&L Tools

In-Progress

In-Progress is where you will access your students and complete their assessments.

Notifications

In the upper-right corner of SL&L, you will see a bell icon. Notifications provide reminders about recent placements and activities that need to be completed.

User Settings

User Settings allow you to change some of the default settings on your account, including the frequency of email notifications you receive after a student submits a time log.

Assessing Students and Time Logs

SL&L is used to complete assessments associated with students’ clinical experiences and other program activities. When an assessment is assigned to you, you can access it through In-Progress.

Save and Submit

Use Save if you want to return to the assessment later. Use Submit when you have finalized the assessment.

Changing an assessment after submitting

Use the tools for undoing an assessment or requesting a revision when an assessment needs to be reopened or returned to a student.

Approving Student Time Logs

The mentor teacher should be the person responsible for approving or rejecting teacher candidate hours.

When can a student see my assessments?

Students can see your assessments after you click on “Submit” within an assessment. They will get an email notifying them that an assessment was completed.

Can I see the Mentor’s assessments?

Click on the Mentor’s activity within SL&L which you wish to view. Click on the Student’s name. Click on “Assessment History” and then click on the name of the mentor whose assessment you wish to view.

Placements

Placements are added to SL&L weekly as they are confirmed. All placements should be entered by the fourth week of the term.
