A Math Department Look at SLOs

DESCRIPTION

Santiago Canyon College began developing student learning outcomes in 2002. 
A task force with college-wide representation developed outcomes in the areas 
of communication skills, thinking and reasoning, civic responsibility, life skills, and 
careers. Each department develops outcomes for programs and courses that 
address the broader college-wide outcome areas. Departments began with an 
on-line search for similar programs. Department-wide discussions for two 
semesters yielded a first draft and a revision of program SLOs. Faculty created 
SLOs for individual courses during flex days. 

The math department has completed SLOs for three courses –– intermediate, 
elementary, and pre-algebra.  Faculty are currently researching and discussing 
assessment options for these courses. The department plans to complete SLOs 
and assessment plans for four courses each year. Santiago Canyon College 
and Santa Ana College collaborate on curriculum, so math department faculty 
from both colleges work together to develop SLOs.
