SLO assessment is an opportunity for faculty members to reflect on the “process” itself, thereby yielding new insights into their teaching, their course content and improvements to student learning.
The SLO Assessment process is faculty-driven, but is in no way designed to be a solitary undertaking. Part of the design is to bring faculty of the same discipline together in a forum where ideas are exchanged and new means and modes of delivery are developed.
For example, as a result of the SLO assessment process, you may have learned that the test you’ve been using for the past 5 years doesn’t accurately measure knowledge in key areas. You may also have learned that students are more engaged in smaller learning groups than in a traditional lecture-style format.
Assessment is not a punitive process. You may just learn that some of your techniques and course content is positively impacting student learning.
