Introduction As the call for accountability within education has increased nationwide, the assessment of student learning has become a priority for institutions of higher education, including NOVA. An important step in the assessment of student learning outcomes (SLOs) is the alignment of SLOs with a program’s curriculum. This helps ensure that a program clearly defines and makes transparent what it has deemed crucial to its curriculum. It also establishes that students are provided enough opportunities to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they should gain from the program. In Spring 2009, the Office of Institutional Research, Planning, and Assessment (OIRPA) offered several sessions of a workshop devoted to writing and mapping SLOs, with at least one session on each campus. In Fall 2009, each of the SLO Lead Faculty submitted a curriculum map for the respective program/certificate. The curriculum map presents the SLOs and indicates in which courses those SLOs are addressed. Furthermore, the maps provide the level to which the course addresses the SLO: Introduced, Practiced, or Mastered. Lastly, SLO Lead Faculty were to specify the methods by which the program will measure student achievement of SLOs. Programs were encouraged to use course-embedded assessments to measure student learning; stated differently, faculty will use assignments already present in the program’s curriculum to collect evidence of student learning. As a result of building curriculum maps, programs at NOVA have developed a plan for how they will measure student learning.
