Title: KapCC Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Framework

KapCC Student Learning Outcomes Assessment
Framework
  • Faculty Senate SLO Committee
  • Presented by Kristine Korey-Smith

2
KAP CC Definition of SLOs
  • Student Learning Outcomes address the level of
    ability to synthesize knowledge, skills, and
    attitudes that a student has attained by the end
    of his or her unit of academic study for
    purposeful and effective application beyond that
    unit of academic study (i.e. in his or her role
    as student, worker, family and community member,
    and/or life-long learner).

Student Learning Outcomes
  • Gen Ed Outcomes cross curricular SLOs that
    two-year college graduates should possess to
    succeed in work, transfer education, and life.
  • Program Degree and Certificate SLOs program
    specific outcomes that two-year college graduates
    should possess to succeed in work.
  • Course Competencies/SLOs measurable skills
    and/or knowledge that students possess at the end
    of a course. Several competencies may constitute
    a broader outcome at the program and general
    education levels.

5
Overview of Gen. Ed. SLO Assessment Plan
Courses designed to address one or more SLOs at a
specific level
Tied to tactical planning and allocation of
resources
Data Analysis Make summative judgments about
student learning relative to SLO. Recommend
improvements. Record results in report.
  • Collect Evidence of learning
  • Samples of student work from courses
  • Develop instruments

Gen Ed Interdisciplinary Committees
Implement recommended changes SLO, rubric,
support, instruction, resources, policies
Draft SLOs Develop benchmarks and rubrics
Results in improved institutional quality
Create alignment grids to determine what courses
address what SLO
6
Levels of Opportunities
  • Preparatory Level Develops the capacity for
    students to pursue pathway related studies.
  • Level 1 SLO will be addressed at a introductory,
    basic level with beginning comprehension and
    familiarity, limited application.
  • Level 2 SLO will be integrated regularly into
    classroom activities to develop the skill.
    Students will be able to apply this competency in
    a familiar setting.

7
Addendum to Curriculum Documents
  • SLO
  • What SLO(s) does the course address?
  • What level does the course address the SLO?
  • Assessment Tools/Activities
  • What assessment tools and/or activities are used
    to help students to attain the identified SLO(s)
    that the course addresses?

Overview of Program SLO Assessment Plan
Courses and/or capstone designed to address one
or more SLOs
Tied to tactical planning and allocation of
resources
Data Analysis Make summative judgments about
student learning relative to SLO. Recommend
improvements. Record results in program review.
  • Collect Evidence of learning
  • Samples of student work from courses
  • Develop instruments

Program Faculty
Implement recommended changes SLO, rubric,
support, instruction, resources, policies
Draft SLOs Develop benchmarks and rubrics
Results in improved institutional quality
Program maps show how courses culminate in
intended SLOs

Levels of Opportunities
  • Preparatory Level Develops the capacity for
    students to pursue pathway related studies.
  • Level 1 SLO will be addressed at a introductory,
    basic level with beginning comprehension and
    familiarity, limited application
  • Level 2 SLO will be integrated regularly into
    classroom activities to develop the skill.
    Students will be able to apply this competency in
    a familiar setting.
  • Level 3 Development of this SLO is threaded into
    daily classroom activities and assignments.
    Students will be able to independently apply SLO
    to new and unfamiliar situations.

  • Assessment Tools/Activities
  • What assessment tools and/or activities are used
    to help students to attain the identified SLO(s)

Overview of Assessment Plan for Administrative,
Student Service, and Support Units
Tied to tactical planning and allocation of
resources
Data Analysis Make summative judgments about the
effectiveness of the unit relative to the SO.
Recommend improvements. Record results in program
review.
  • Collect Evidence of Effectiveness
  • Develop instruments
  • Use productivity information

Unit Committees
Implement recommended changes SO, ways of
doing, support, resources, policies,
infrastructure
Draft SO Develop benchmarks and rubrics
Results in improved institutional quality
SOs relate to a units function w/i the overall
mission of the college
