Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)

Briefly describe which course SLOs, degree and certificate PSLOs and Cabrillo Core 4 competencies were assessed at least once over the last planning cycle (should be all). If any SLO assessments are missing or irregular, explain why and present an expedient timeline to catch up.
Describe full-time and adjunct faculty participation in department SLO assessment and discussion.
Compare SLO assessment results for courses offered in multiple formats (i.e., face-to-face vs. online vs. hybrid). If applicable, discuss whether and how the department disaggregates SLO data based on other variables (student demographics, course location, Credit for Prior Learning, etc.).
Summarize what was learned from assessment results and department discussion in terms of:

Teaching and learning successes: At which tasks and activities do students demonstrate academic and personal capability and responsibility? To which teaching and learning strategies do they respond well? In what ways did they show active engagement with course content and materials, the class community, and their CAP or major? What resources did they access that helped them succeed in their classes, on- and off-campus?
Barriers to student success: Which learning tasks and activities are more difficult for students to complete successfully? Which teaching methods, materials, or environments were not as effective in supporting student learning? Did SLO data disaggregation indicate that any group(s) of students encountered more barriers than others in finding success in classes or the program? What necessary resources did some or most students have difficulty accessing, on- and off-campus?
Strategies to improve teaching and learning: What specific action plans or activities have sprung from department SLO assessment dialogue over the last several years? What results have they yielded so far? Which course SLOs were re-assessed to determine the success of new strategies, and what did that show? How have the department’s disaggregation efforts informed any resulting program goals and recommendations to address SLO equity gaps? How can more students be connected to necessary resources? What cost-neutral steps will the department take to address ongoing teaching and learning challenges? If additional funding is available, how would you use it to address these challenges?
