Topic: Curriculum Whereas, Curriculum and student success are areas where the
Academic Senate for California Community Colleges has professional responsibility;
Whereas, Approximately 50% of California’s community colleges that responded to surveys about placing Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) on the Course Outline of Record (COR) reported their decision not to include SLOs on the COR, while other colleges either did not respond or have not decided; and
Whereas, Housing SLOs in some other public domain entity can still allow students, community members, and accrediting agencies to review and track progress of SLOs at community colleges;
Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges encourage local senates to publish Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) in any appropriate public domain entity such as the course outline of record, database, webpage, etc.

Must SLOs appear in the faculty members’ course syllabi?
Yes. The answer to this question appears at the beginning of this article, in the quotation from Standard II.A.6. The Commission acknowledges that the use of the words “learning objectives” in this standard appears to be vestigial language from the 1994 Standards. The Commission changed the words “learning objectives” to “student learning outcomes” in January, 2010.

What do we value in a course of study?
How do we demonstrate this?
When do we apply these values to learning in the classroom?
