SLO's in the Pathway

SLO's in the Pathway

Let's go!

Overview

Assessment of the Calculus Pathway is no different than Assessment of Program

Progression Mapping

Define SLOs

Develop Rubics

Interventions

Data Collection

Create Universal SLOs100 -> 130 -> 146 -> 153

Key Step: Get faculty approval/input

• All courses would have the same SLO's
• Best practices show 3-5 SLO's to assess
• These SLO's should embody the current list of course specific SLO's

1. Model Real-World Phenomena with Functions
2. Analyze and Interpret Change
3. Reason Across Multiple Representations
4. Construct, Transform, and Manipulate Functions, Equations, and Expressions Purposefully

Develop Rubrics for each SLO

Key Step: Clearly define SLO at a course specific level

• Rubric should imitate language of Program level rubics (work with John)
• Developing through Mastery
• Reference Blooms Taxonomy chart for meaning verbage
• SLO should be defined with expectations listed at the course level.

We could also create an example artifact for each level

Mapping

• Monitor scores for each SLO across the Pathway.
• Should we expect to see improvements of scores or uniformity?
• Target weak areas for interventions in future cohorts

Back

Intervention Phase

Rubric scores will rank intervention needs

• What are target SLO scores?
• How do we determine where to intervene?
• What will interventions look like?
• How are intervention effects measured?

Future Plans

Future Initiatives

• Soft Skills in Math 100
• Rubric Development for Math 101 & 170
• Indirect Assessment - Exit Surveys (do you use skill z,y,z in your program? how confident are you in skill x,y,z, etc). Pre vs post surveys. Survey other departments about value of skills x,y,z. Student interviews

Develop Rubrics for each SLO

Interactivity and animation can be your best allies when creating tables, infographics, or charts that help provide context to the information and simplify the data for your audience. We are visual beings, and it is easier for us to 'read' images than to read written text.
