Assessing SLO's
The American Association of Higher Education
Principles of Good Practice for Assessing Student Learning
- The assessment of student learning begins with educational
values.
- Assessment is most effective when it reflects an
understanding of learning as multidimensional, integrated, and
revealed in performance over time.
- Assessment works best when the programs it seeks to improve
have clear, explicitly stated purposes.
- Assessment requires attention to outcomes but also and
equally to the experiences that lead to those outcomes.
- Assessment works best when it is ongoing, not episodic.
- Assessment fosters wider improvement when representatives
from across the educational community are involved.
- Assessment makes a difference when it begins with issues of
use and illuminates questions that people really care about.
- Assessment is most likely to lead to improvement when it is
part of a larger set of conditions that promote change.
- Through assessment, educators meet responsibilities to
students and to the public.
