Student Learning Outcomes Model

Upon completion of the reading course of study, students will have achieved proficiency in reading by being able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes:

Students will apply vocabulary-building strategies to improve their comprehension of college level readings.

Students will demonstrate a literal comprehension of college level readings, through identification and analysis of main ideas, supporting details and rhetorical patterns of organization and development.

Students will be able to critically analyze and evaluate college-level reading material; make inferences; determine a writer’s purpose and tone; and apply rhetorical reading strategies.

Students will be able to monitor positive and negative comprehension signals and apply appropriate strategies to correct incomplete comprehension.

Students will be able to demonstrate a range of reading rates according to reading purpose: prose at 500 wpm or above, with 70% comprehension; study reading at 250 wpm with 90%-100% comprehension.

Students will perceive themselves as competent college level readers.Students will demonstrate their progress and mastery through oral and written tests, quizzes

and projects.

Checklist

SLO Statement ChecklistProgram Department • Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) – The set of skills containing critical knowledge, abilities and attitudes that

students will attain by the end of any set of college experiences gained from participating in classes, programs, degrees, certificates or encounters with college services. SLO should articulate the major focus or purpose for each experience using descriptive/observable verbs and requires higher-level thinking skills rather than small discreet or basic thinking skills. In addition, SLO should be written with the end in mind so that the end product is measurable.

Check One:• Program SLO statement• Course SLO statement• Please write your SLO statement here: Criteria Checklist• Reflects an overarching goal rather than discreet skills or objectives. • Represents fundamental result of course or program.• Describes a major skill set that includes knowledge (cognitive), ability (psychomotor) and/or attitude (affective) to be

gained by the end of the course or program.• Uses higher-level thinking skills (synthesizes many discrete skills) requiring students to apply what they’ve learned.• Tells what the student will be able to do vs. teaching or learning content and activities. • Uses an observable action verb.• Is culturally responsive.• Results in a product that is evaluated or assessed by faculty.

Assignment #3 Future Directions

1. Based on the available internal and external data, we estimate the number of students [Use headcount for student services. Use FTES for instructional programs] our department/program/service will serve in the next two years will

Remain relatively unchanged (between 5% growth and 5% decline). Grow by more than 5%. Decline by more than 5%.Comments:______________________________________________________________________________ 2.    Based on our identified student learning outcomes, our student performance indicators, and other data available to us,

we have identified the following priorities (#1 being the top priority) for improving access and/or success for students in our department/program/service.

1.2.3.Comments:______________________________________________________________________________ 3. In the next two years, we have identified the following changes that need to be made in our curriculum or services:1.2.3. We do not anticipate any changes.Comments:______________________________________________________________________________

Goals

 

Identify up to five goals that your department/program/service has established based on the information you have. Goals should be specific, measurable, include a deadline, and indicate the person or position responsible for overseeing the activity to accomplish the goal. At least one goal should address student success. Goals will be evaluated and updated annually.

 Goal Activity Due Date Responsible

1        2        3        4        5        

We can do this in the time we have IF…

• Everyone participates.• We communicate.

– Regular updates from representatives to constituents

– Steady flow of information– Everyone has a voice.

• We avoid analysis paralysis. • We respect deadlines.

In the end…

• We will be better prepared to respond to the educational needs of the diverse communities it is our mission to serve.
