24 Faculty Handbook – August 2022 • Ethical Reasoning • Foundational Lifelong Learning Skills • Integrative Learning • Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity Note that each undergraduate program must include at least 5 of these BOR SLOs. Many academic programs will also want to identify their own program-specific SLOs, so you may develop an additional 1-4 SLOs for your program, giving a total of 5-9 SLOs. Expectations from the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) on Program Reviews is that they will demonstrate use of a complete Assessment Cycle (see BOR Academic Affairs Guideline 4.2, Appendix B.III.E.): 1. Develop/refine Program Student Learning Outcomes SLOs. 5-9 SLOs. 2. Create a Curriculum Map: Map SLOs to the Program curriculum (courses). 3. Conduct Direct Measures of Student Learning to assess student progress on identified SLOs (e.g., an assignment embedded in a course, ETS Major Field Test, ACS test). These data can be collected in the Annual Assessment Reports. 4. Use assessment data to evaluate student learning outcomes and propose program/curricular improvements. 5. Implement improvements in pedagogy or content based on assessment data. 6. Return to Step 3 to measure if adjustments were effective.
