SLOs: Centering Learning and Serving Students

Centering Learning and Serving Students

Main Themes:

• Student-centric approach: The current higher education system often prioritizes administrative processes and metrics over student needs and learning outcomes.
• Accountability through SLO assessment: Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) assessment is crucial for ensuring students gain real-world skills and knowledge, yet it remains underfunded and underutilized.
• Empowering faculty: Faculty are key drivers of student success but require adequate resources and institutional support to focus on learning.
• Redefining success: Institutions need to shift their focus from attendance and completion to actual learning outcomes as the primary measure of success.
