Institutional Learning Outcome Evaluation Cycle & Outcomes

In Fall 2019, Kennedy-King College began a reboot of the General Education SLO Assessment. One result of this was the adoption of new Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs). The timeline is outlined below and has been updated to reflect the new ILOs.
Four phases are planned for the develoment, implimentation, analysis, and response to each G-SLO. The phases are as follows:

Planning & development

Faculty Discipline Learning Outcome Liaisons will, along with faculty representation from subject-matter experts, develop a rubric and assessment criteria for the G-SLO.                     

Faculty training
At faculty development events before the start of the next semester, faculty will be trained in identifying assessments from their courses that address this G-SLO.                     

Administration, collection, & scoring
Faculty administer their identified assessment as usual and submit both the assignment and student artifacts to the assessment committee. The assessment will be scored according to the developed rubric independently by two Faculty Discipline Learning Outcome Liaisons. In the case of discrepancy in scores, the assessment will be scored a third time by either the Academic Sub-Committee Chair or the Executive Assessment Chair.                   

Analysis, report out & targeted training
The scored rubrics are analyzed and areas for improvement identified. Reports and training targeted to address these areas for improvement are presented during faculty development events before the start of the following semester.

Below is the outline of project timeline.
