Updated List of Upcoming Deadlines (Course and Program Levels)

Ongoing Due Dates

Starting in Fall 2011, all course- and program-level SLOs need to be assessed every four years, in alignment with the program review cycle.

One-Time Due Dates

Due Date / Task
Fri., June 11, 2010 / All programs submit first program-level assessment report. Thereafter, program-level SLO assessments will be tied to program review cycles (details to follow at a later time).
Fri., April. 8, 2011 *NEW DATE* / All courses and programs have complete sets of SLO Assessment Plans that are aligned with the core competencies.
In order to accomplish this, during Spring 2010 and Fall 2010, please do the following:
·  Review existing course- and program-level SLOs for alignment with core competencies.
·  Identify gaps in SLOs by comparing existing SLOs with core competency alignment map completed during flex day, Spring 2010
NOTE: For all core competencies rated as a “4=very important” for a particular course or program, there must be at least one corresponding SLO for that course or program. For core competencies marked “3=somewhat important,” there should be a corresponding SLO unless there is a compelling reason not to have one.*
Feb. 15, 2011 / Program-Level SLOs are published on all division and/or department websites and prepared for inclusion in El Camino Course Catalog.
Feb. 15, 2012 / Course-level SLOs are published on division/department websites.

* More about how to make sure that course- and program-level SLOs are aligned with core competencies:

·  One SLO may correspond to more than one core competency and vice versa. There does not have to be a one-to-one correspondence.

·  You may adjust your SLOs to match your core competency map in one of three ways:

1.  Add a core competency to the list of core competencies that an existing SLO corresponds to without altering the wording of your SLO.

2.  Alter the wording of an existing SLO to accommodate a core competency.

3.  Add an additional SLO that corresponds to a particular core competency.
