Evidence of Student Learning
San Antonio College has been able to collect an extensive amount of data which enables the Learning Assessment office to clearly map SLOs to Marketable skills as well as Program Learning Outcomes.
The Learning Assessment office develops reports on program outcomes by program, department, rubric, and section. These reports provide insight on trends over time on Marketable Skills achievement. San Antonio College began collecting assessment data on Marketable Skills in 2014.
These reports are a basis for discussion at faculty develpment and department meetings, as well as at the campus-wide SAC Scores assessment days (held twice per academic year) where faculty are required to review their assessment reports and develop action plans for improving outcomes in areas that are low performing (over 30% do not meet expectations).
Further, we believe that the implementation of online technology tools, including the student dashboard and ePortfolio, have transformed student assessment, skills achievement, and can be valuable to other institutions. Moreover, by providing resources to help students develop awareness of learning outcomes and Marketable Skills, students build self-efficacy and are empowered to be involved in directing their learning path. An institutional culture that supports these beliefs is critical to success and requires every faculty and staff member at San Antonio College to reflect on their role in transforming student learning.
