 This website was designed to provide information to
faculty and staff on designing and using student learning outcomes (SLO's).
Student learning outcomes are measured learning objectives as
defined by faculty and staff members. Student learning outcomes are
written statements that represent student learning goals at the
college, departmental, and course levels. Examples can be seen at
Grossmont Links.
Whether the student learning objective is written at the
institutional or course level, SLO’s focus on what students learn by
the time they finish a course or program and what they will be able
to do with the knowledge and skills attained at Grossmont.
Faculty and staff members design outcomes for their programs and
courses by articulating what is essential to student learning in
their disciplines or programs. The discussions focus on skills and
knowledge that students should attain after participating in a
course or program. Faculty and staff use the student learning
outcomes that they have written together as guides for assessing
effectiveness in teaching and learning.
At Grossmont, design of student learning outcomes is the
responsibility of every teacher, administrator, and staff member.
Institutional, departmental, and course student learning objectives
must be written. This will be a gradual process that depends on time
and commitment of all members of our college. The implementation of
student learning outcomes in education is simply another attempt to
improve the quality of teaching and learning. Any department needing
assistance in developing learning outcomes can contact Devon
Atchison at (619) 644-7477 or
