• Inquiry Question: What instructional practices can we use to prepare basic skills students to successfully meet college-wide SLOs?
Written Competency 2. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving3. Information Literacy4. Visual Communication5. Scientific Reasoning
These SLOs reflect the core competencies required for students who complete the General Education program and serve as the SLOs for our GE program.
Rubrics: http://bit.ly/HPeKta
Write proposal; solicit materials from teachers in the department
Collect current research, publications about new trends in the field and other schools, and conference materials
Align the materials collected with the five college learning outcomes
Create a Wiki site using the collected materials
Share resources within the college and beyond
• In your groups, look over the rubrics and talk about 1-2 activities that you use in your classroom that relate to one of the skills on the critical thinking rubric
• How can this type of work be applied to your own department? Do you have similar methods for sharing resources? Are they linked to course, program, or school-wide SLOs?
