  1. Reflect... • What are some of your concerns about student learning in your program or classroom?

  2. Everything You Wanted to Know about Writing an Assessment with (or without) Nuventive Improve” Presented by Amy Leonard

  3. Reflect... • What are some of your concerns about Nuventive Improve?

  4. Terminology • SLO = Student Learning Outcome • PLO = Program Level Outcome • SSLO = Student Services Learning Outcome • ILO = Institutional Learning Outcome

  5. At What Levels Do We Assess? • Lesson/ unit of study = SLO • Course = SLO • Program = PLO • Occupational certificate • Major • Department/ Division • Associate degree (A.A./A.S./A.A.S) • Institutional = ILO

  6. Basics • Need one SLO assessment for each SLO on a course during the 5-years between curriculum updates • Part-Timers are REQUIRED to have SLOs on their syllabi • Part-timers ONLY have to do SLO assessment if asked to by your SLO rep/Chair/Dean

  7. Ideally • Ideally, complete SLO assessments yearly for your courses as a department • Ideally, all faculty have SLOs on their syllabi • Ideally, consider a quarterly or yearly survey of your students if you are a program • Ideally, have SLOs in your Canvas & connect assessments to the assignments

  8. What are Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)? “Robust”student learning outcomes incorporate • behavioral objective- what a student should know, value and be able to demonstrate/ perform • conditions under which performance will be assessed (simulation, lab, portfolio, writing task) • Criteria/ performance standards/ primary traits for assessing student performance • Rubric for scoring student performance

  9. Course Objectives vs SLOs Course objectives versus student learning outcomes: Generally, a course objective states what student will demonstrate, represent or produce at end of course. SLO Generally, how they learn it with a clear skill/project to assess

  10. Why Do We Assess SLOs • 1. The college is required to do it by the ACCJCC accreditation team • 2. It is nice to know what is working the class and other classes • 3. It offers a chance to make funding requests • 4. It offers a chance to improve your curriculum or the department’s curriculum

  11. Steps of SLOs • Step 1: Write an SLO (Done & all outlines) • Step 2: Assess an SLO • Step 3: Reflect on the SLO assessment and what equipment/funding would make students more successful • Step 4: Write it up • Step 5: Ensure it gets on Nuventive Improve

  12. Once we’ve written an SLO, what’s next? • Writing an SLO was only the first step in the process • The repeated steps include assessing the SLO, analyzing the data, and reflecting on the findings to suggest improvements

  13. Identify Assess Reflect

  14. Reflect... • How could you and your program solve your concerns about student learning through SLOs and assessing SLOs? • What other questions do you have?

  15. Ways for You to Conduct Assessments • 1. Fill out a SLO report for an SLOs in your course and send it to the SLO Rep for your division/dept • 2. Fill out an SLO report form and load it on to TracDat if you have access • 3. Contact your dept. chair and ask to form an SLO team or be a part of a team

  16. Hands on Help • If you have an SLO that you want to write, I can help you get started • If you would like to turn in an SLO I can help you • If you want help with tracdat and you have an account, I can walk you through it
