SLO Committee makes recommendations to leadership for 2007-2008

In an effort to conclude activities for the SLO Committee, but more importantly, prepare the
college for the upcoming academic year, the SLO Committee made a short list of recommendations to College administration and the Academic Senate.

Who will lead the SLO initiative in 2007-2008?

In fall of 2007, the Academic Senate, the President, and the Vice President of Instruction  will invite scholars in student learning and assessment to provide additional trainings to faculty and to make recommendations on the implementation of SLOs. At this point, a determination will likely be made about ongoing support for the initiative, and if need is determined, a candidate will be selected from a hiring process (most likely internally).

SLO Committee must respond to Annual ACCJC/WASC Report

WASC is currently auditing all colleges in the region for their progress on SLOs.  Each college is being asked to record their progress on SLO implementation in the following areas:

  • Course level

  • Degree/Certificate Level

  • GE Level

  • Student Services/Instructional Support Level

In each of these areas, the college is being asked to measure progress on the following categories:

  • Defining expected student learning outcomes

  • Defining assessment of expected learning outcomes

  • Assessing student learning outcomes

  • Analyzing the results of the assessment

  • Planning and implementing changes to pedagogy, facilities, etc. to improve learning

SLO Facilitator to prepare SLO section of progress report in response to Accreditation Site Visit in April, 2006

In January of 2006, MJC received a series of recommendations from ACCJC/WASC. Many of them included references to assessing student learning for the sake of improvement. One entire section of recommendations revolved around the SLO paradigm.

In October, MJC will be re-visited for the purpose of a progress report. In preparation, the SLO Facilitator will prepare a report on the following items.

  • Resolution of each recommendation

  • Analysis of the results achieved to date

  • Evidence of the results

  • Additional plans that have been developed to continue progress.
