Still Lovin’ those Outcomes Reedley College Duty Day Fall 2010
Workshop Outcomes Evaluate where RC is in the SLO/Assessment process. Identify challenges you and your program face in this process. Determine what you and/or your program may continue to do or modify in order to have meaningful assessment.
ACCJC SLO Rubric Proficiency • Student learning outcomes and authentic assessment are in place for courses, programs and degrees. • Results of assessment are being used for improvement and further alignment of institution-wide practices. • There is widespread institutional dialogue about the results. • Decision-making includes dialogue on the results of assessment and is purposefully directed toward improving student learning. • Appropriate resources continue to be allocated and fine-tuned. • Comprehensive assessment reports exist and are completed on a regular basis. • Course student learning outcomes are aligned with degree ` student learning outcomes. • Students demonstrate awareness of goals and purposes of courses and programs in which they are enrolled.

Keeping the assessment momentum going Answer the following: 1. What does our program need to do to meet the RC Assessment Timeline? 2. What do I need to do within my program to meet this goal? 3. What do I need to do within my classrooms to meet this goal?
Notes
More questions to consider, share, and discuss What is the number one challenge you or your program face in conducting assessment? Are you happy with your program’s assessment choices? If not, what could be modified? When and how could this change occur?
Notes
And a few more questions How often do I/we converse with our NC colleagues? Is this enough for the process? What could I/we do to engage more with NC? Do I agree with my colleagues (RC and/or NC) on pedagogy, assessment techniques, or analysis/interpretation of data? If not, how could this be resolved?
Notes
Help us help you What does your program need from the SLO coordinator, administration, colleagues, or institutional researcher to continue meaningful assessment and reach our goals?
