To Deal with Student Learning Outcomes You Need:
• Sense of Play• Willingness to Experiment• Healthy Dose of Skepticism
• Ability to translate assessment theory and jargon into the language of our college

Accreditation Standards: The 5 Stages of Faculty Grief

Improvement
![Page 7: Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment Summit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814fc8550346895dbd82be/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Quickie Review: Standards Require
• SLOs for all courses• SLOs for all programs• SLOs for all certificates and
degrees
![Page 8: Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment Summit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814fc8550346895dbd82be/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
More Review
• All SLOs must be assessed regularly• Assessment results must be discussed
(dialogue & documentationare key elements!)
• SLOAC must be tied into Program Reviewand College Planning
![Page 9: Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment Summit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814fc8550346895dbd82be/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What the X?!& is an SLO?
• Knowledge• Skills• Abilities• Attitudes
that a student can demonstrate by the end of a course, program, certificate or degree
![Page 10: Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment Summit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814fc8550346895dbd82be/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
So what else is new?
• Haven’t we always done this?
![Page 11: Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment Summit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814fc8550346895dbd82be/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Yes!!!
• Now, however, we are being asked to articulate and document our process in a new way.
![Page 12: Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment Summit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814fc8550346895dbd82be/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SLOs: The Big Picture
• Require HIGHER LEVEL thinking skills• May synthesize many discreet skills• Require students to APPLY what they’ve
learned• Result in a product• Product must be evaluated or assessed by
facultyChoose 1-3 most important concepts per class
![Page 13: Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment Summit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814fc8550346895dbd82be/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Objectives: Nuts and Bolts
• Describe small, discreet skills• Require basic thinking skills• Do not necessarily result in a product
![Page 14: Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment Summit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814fc8550346895dbd82be/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SLOs v. Objectives
• The Official Course Outline of Record at Cañada
• Many of us have written objectives that would qualify as SLOs
• Pick the best, modify Official Outlines later
![Page 15: Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment Summit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814fc8550346895dbd82be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Closing the Assessment Loop
• Assessment must feed back into processes to improve teaching and learning
• In the classroom• In the department• Across the entire campus
• Assessment activities should be useful and easy
![Page 16: Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment Summit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814fc8550346895dbd82be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Key Point!
• Our college must design the assessment process and loop to fit our college’s culture.

Assessment Made Easy
• Write SLOs that you are truly interested in learning more about.
• When possible, use assessment tools that are already embedded into your course.
• Write SLOs that allow you to gather meaningful data.
• Vocational programs should use available external certification process.
