Adoption of Institutional SLOs: D. Humphreys discussed need for SLOs themselves to be standardized and cleaned up, with evidence and support documentation provided; need for the Institutional SLOs to reflect Essential Skills Training and goals. The institution needs to choose one of the SLOs and show movement into the planning process for achievement of that goal campus-wide; a model needs to be created for doing this. Outcomes for courses and SLOs needs to be re-written with an eye toward measurement and towards the goal chosen. Qualitative as well as quantitative measurements need to be included. Institutional SLOs and course outlines/outcomes need to be evaluated by how they feed into college planning. Reading skills will be focused on in the initial steps. Volunteers to work with D. Humphreys on SLO revisions: J. Smith, S. McMurray, S. Fasteau, B. Richards. J. Smith thanked D. Humphreys for his work.
