  1. SLO Assessment How to Document the Assessment

  2. Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Report • Once the SLO has been selected and assessment has taken place, faculty must document the assessment process. • Faculty completes a Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Report for each SLO assessed. • Faculty should assess one SLO in each course they teach each semester.

  3. Documenting on the Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Report Form Begin by completing the information on the top left side of the form. Course Name: Music 1A (course name goes here) Semester: Fall 2009 (List semester and year) Participating Faculty: Joe Smith (faculty name goes here)

  4. State the Learning Outcome In the first box, enter the student learning outcome you have chosen to assess. (List the SLO verbatim from your course outline)

  5. Describe How the SLO was Assessed In the second box, provide detailed information about how you assessed this SLO. (What methodologies did you use; multiple-choice exam, student written assignment, student oral presentations, etc. Did you use a standard rubric?)

  6. Report the Results and the Inferences Drawn From the Results In the third box, provide detailed information regarding the goals you are trying to achieve. (Give specific statistics regarding the data collected within the assessment process. Describe what the results were and what those results mean to you about whether or not learning has occurred.

(Describe specific changes faculty will make to improve student learning next time the course is taught. This might include changes in course implementation, learning activities, assessment methods, etc. Include specific timeframes for making these changes.)

  8. Now What? Once you have completed your assessment you should arrange with your Division Chair to present your findings at a Division Meeting. The discussion that takes place at Division Meeting after your presentation regarding your findings and plans for implementation must then be documented on the Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Dialogue Report.

(Clearly summarize the results of the group discussion. Describe what student needs or issues were identified.

  14. Now What? The next step is to insure that a proper paper trail is Created, which will allow campus committees and outside agencies to evaluate the SLO process in place at Porterville College. • Division Chairs should retain in their areas a copy of all SLO documentation. • Division Chairs should also forward copies of all documentation of SLO assessment including the Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Report and the Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Dialogue Report to the SLO Committee Chairperson, Jay Hargis.
