Welcome! Here you will find resources about Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
Student Learning Outcomes Purpose Statement
The purpose of Student Learning Outcomes is to establish and institutionalize cyclical processes and procedures developed and driven by De Anza faculty and staff to define and assess specific observable characteristics or outcomes that demonstrate evidence of learning that has occurred as a result of a specific course, program, activity, or process. The college has created three assessment units:
- SLO - Faculty assessors. ie course and program level
- SSLO - Student support services, staff and faculty assessors
- AUO - Administrative leaders, faculty and support personnel for administrative assessors
Expanded definitions and purpose statements can be found at SLO Assessment Units
