Credit and thanks to: Bill Grimes at District Research and Planning

SLO
Development might include one or more of the following approaches:
-
Use
college mission, priorities, institutional competencies, as a
guide to creating departmental SLOs.
-
Obtain guidelines from the professional organizations to guide
decisions.
-
Ask
faculty “What are the most important things we want our student
to learn and be able to do at the conclusion of our program?
(Remember your discussion last Fall).
-
Create a long list from this question then select from the long
list of SLOs those that are most relevant currently
-
Brainstorm a long list of SLOs/learning objectives and then
apply criteria to select the short list that will be used.
-
Collect list of course SLOs within the program and then select
those that are core.
7. Confer with other
similar programs within SDCCD and outside the
district
to consider inclusion of selected SLOs.
-
Obtain departmental samples of SLOs via web sites to examine as
possible SLO candidates for your department.
-
Identify key challenges to the department first and then build
SLO’s around those challenges.
-
Identify key changes in the field that would require updated
curriculum and build
SLOs around the new curriculum.
-
Obtain feedback on student concerns (formally or informally) and
build SLOs to address concerns and measure improvement.
-
Combination of some or all of the above.
