Student learning outcome (SLO) development is alive and growing across our college. SLO development and assessment is an area that has important links with a variety of other efforts on campus, including classroom-based research, student development, curriculum development, program design, planning, and professional development.
SLO assessment is a process that provides faculty, classified staff, and students with formative feedback on pedagogical and student-support efforts. Many instructional and student service areas have worked hard to develop meaningful SLO assessment plans and are currently engaged at various stages of the assessment cycle. (See the Resources section below for more details on these efforts)
This site is designed to provide SCC faculty and staff with current resources to facilitate classroom-based research and SLO assessment projects across all areas of the college.
Student Learning Outcomes Advisory Group
The Student Learning Outcome Advisory Group of SCC's Academic Senate is an open, cross- constituency group and is a resource to faculty and staff on issues of SLO assessment and development. Browse the SLO Advisory Group link for up-to-date information on the status of SLO assessment on campus, minutes from recent meetings, and resource materials generated from advisory group projects and workshops.
A "must-read" from the collection of Advisory Group materials is the SCC's SLO Philosophy Statement This statement was developed by the group with feedback from the campus community and was officially adopted by the Academic Senate in Spring, 2005.
Resources
The new Department SLO Assessment Strategy and Planning Tools provide faculty and staff with practical resources for designing department SLO assessment plans at the course level. The strategy and associated templates were designed by the SLO advisory with input from the college and was approved by the Academic Senate in May, 2008.
The recently updated Program Learning Outcome (ProLO) resources have been designed to assist faculty in the development of ProLOs for degrees and certificates. A variety of resources are located here that also are useful for related curricular efforts.
The newly adopted Student Services Division SLOs are now available to assist in the development of unit-level SLOs across all areas of Student Services.
The SLO Presentations area contains presentations and support material from recent SCC workshops on SLO development and related issues.
The Faculty projects: SLO assessment and Classroom research link contains reports and materials generated from a variety of SCC faculty and departmental projects in order to share insights and benefits derived from these efforts.
The Web Resources link provides a concise, annotated list of key resources to stimulate dialogue and facilitate application of SLO and other classroom assessment techniques.
The resource toolkit is an additional practical resource for both SLO and basic, formative classroom assessment. It contains information from previous SCC workshops in these areas and some basic tools to facilitate quick and easy formative assessment of student learning. Examples of Cross and Angelo's Classroom Assessment Techniques are provided.
