Effective Learning Outcomes for Program Assessment: In Person Workshop In-Person
Do the learning outcomes identified for your program truly reflect the skills and abilities students will gain—and be able to demonstrate--upon completion? Clear and specific student learning outcomes (SLOs) form the basis of effective assessment and continuous improvement processes. Strengthening these SLOs, then, will enable faculty to gain the most from these efforts. In addition, developing clear and engaging SLOs will help programs quickly convey their goals, value, and expectations to current—and potential—students.
This workshop will review best practices for writing program-wide learning outcomes and offer real-time feedback on existing and drafted SLOs. The workshop will discuss topics such as how to use Bloom’s taxonomy to develop learning outcomes and how to ensure the learning outcomes you have are at the appropriate level for your students.
