Student Learning Outcomes Workshop

YBOR PSAV Tuesday, September 30thJennifer Gangi

Why are we developing SLO plans?

• Tied to SACS Accreditation

• SACS = Southern Association of Colleges & Schools

• 10-year accrediting cycle

• SACS accredits the entire institution, not individual programs

• Focus of SACS review-compliance review & QEP

• Part of compliance review- assessing student learning outcomes at the program level

• Over 90% of colleges get cited by SACS on SLO requirement

What is SACS Looking for?

Develop and assess outcomes at the program level

Majority should be SLO’s=what students are able to:• Know (cognitive)• Think (attitudinal)• Do (behavioral)as a result of the educational program

Required Documentation:Define intended outcomes (3-5)Identify methods for assessing outcomesAssess outcomes annuallyCollect results & review results to make decisions regarding program improvement
