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 primarily a faculty-driven process that provides faculty, classified staff, and students with formative feedback on pedagogical and student-support efforts. Many classroom research and SLO assessment projects at SCC have identified curricular and student service efforts that work very well to foster student success and have provided valuable insight on efforts that could be modified or enhanced in order to achieve their intended goals.
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 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.
