SLO 101
“This is an evolution of best teaching practices, not a revolution”
Lars Kjeseth, El Camino College
![Page 13: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is an SLO?
• Knowledge
• Skills
• Abilities
• Attitudes
that a student can demonstrate by the end of a course, program, certificate or degree
![Page 14: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SLOs: The Big Picture
• Requires HIGHER LEVEL thinking skills
• Synthesizes many discreet skills
• Requires students to APPLY what they’ve learned
• Results in a product
• Product must be evaluated or assessed by faculty
![Page 15: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Must be written for
• Courses
• Programs, including GE and vocational

![Page 16: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Who?

![Page 17: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why?
• Covering material doesn’t guarantee that students learn it
• Must demonstrate it
• Transparency is key
• Practice is also key
![Page 18: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
When?

![Page 19: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Where Should SLOs live?
• Course Outline of Record?
• Addendum to COR?
• Somewhere else?
• According to ACCJC, objectives must be in syllabus
• Good idea if SLOs are also
![Page 20: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Remember SLOs: The Big Picture• Requires HIGHER LEVEL thinking skills
• Synthesizes many discreet skills
• Requires students to APPLY what they’ve learned
• Results in a product
• Product must be evaluated or assessed by faculty
![Page 21: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Objective: Nuts and Bolts• Describes small, discreet skills
• Requires basic thinking skills
• Do not necessarily result in a product
![Page 22: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

![Page 31: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What the *&%#! Is Course Embedded Assessment?
Assessing Course SLOs
![Page 32: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Course-Embedded Assessment: Expanded Grading
• Uses assignments produced in class – papers, projects, portfolios, presentations
• Grades them with rubrics or other explicitly stated criteria shared with students in advance!
• Results analyzed, resulting in changes to improve student learning and teaching
![Page 33: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
How is this different from grading?
• Assignment analyzed for how it informs you about the SLO
• Is not the cumulative grade of the course
• May only use parts of the assignment
• Focus is on what it reveals about teaching and learning, not how individual students performed
![Page 34: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Think “Sampling”
• Not every assignment in a class is used
• But enough evidence must be gathered and assessed to get a good sampling of students and their work
![Page 35: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Choose An Assignment
• Look at the course SLOs you wrote earlier
• Choose a major assignment you already give in that class that you feel addresses the SLOs
• If you only give tests, choose specific questions that require higher level thinking skills and address the SLO
![Page 36: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
So What’s a Rubric?
• A very detailed grading scale
for one assignment
• A descriptor of each level of
achievement
![Page 37: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Why Rubrics Rock
• Great for students
• Doesn’t impinge on your
academic freedom
• May make your teaching life easier
• Caveat: Doesn’t work for multiple choice exams
![Page 38: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
How do Rubrics Work?
• Rows: Criteria of rating • Columns: Levels of mastery
• Beginner• Developed• Accomplished
• Cells: Describes work at each level of mastery• Build from strengths and weaknesses you’ve
seen in student work over the years
![Page 39: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Sample Rubrics
• Grid
• Narrative with points
• Combined with Grading Sheet
![Page 40: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Advice: Rubrics are• As individual as instructor and
assignment
• Works in progress, always changing
• Something students should see in advance
![Page 41: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Activity
• Choose one particular major assignment

• Share with folks at your table
![Page 42: What the*!?# is an SLO? Train the Trainers Workshop Marcy Alancraig Cabrillo College maalancr@cabrillo.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f275503460f94c3ee1d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
