Mapping SLOs to Curriculum

What is a curriculum map? Before asking the question “Do students know this?” we need to ask “Are we providing this experience?” Curriculum Mapping can help determine degree of coverage of SLOs

Purposes of Curriculum Mapping Demonstrates the alignment between curriculum and a program’s SLOs Identifies which courses contain learning experiences which help student achieve SLOs Shows the extent to which SLOs are addressed Details which courses contain/include/have assessments of SLOs

Benefits of Curriculum Mapping Shows where gaps are (i.e., if SLOs are not being addressed sufficiently) Can result in the refinement of SLOs and assessment methods Points to where, when, and how assessment can take place Can identify already-existing sources of data = embedded assignments Contributes to foundation of a program assessment plan Provides an overview of curriculum

How to Create a Curriculum Map Begin with a table with SLOs listed on the vertical axis and all courses/learning experiences listed across the horizontal axis at the top. Each SLO will have a row; each course will have a column.

Sample Curriculum Map Template Course 101 Course 102 Course 103 Course 104 Course 201 Course 202 Course 203 Course 204 SLO #1 SLO #2 SLO #3 SLO #4 SLO #5

Step 1 For each SLO, indicate in which course(s) the outcome is addressed. Each SLO must be addressed at least once. If not, then the outcome and its place in the program should be reexamined.

Sample Curriculum Map – Step 1 Course 101 Course 102 Course 103 Course 104 Course 201 Course 202 Course 203 Course 204 SLO #1 X SLO #2 SLO #3 SLO #4 SLO #5

Step 2 Describe the level to which the outcome is addressed: I = Introduced P = Practiced M = Mastered SLOs can be addressed at more than one level within a course.

Sample Curriculum Map – Step 2 Course 101 Course 102 Course 103 Course 104 Course 201 Course 202 Course 203 Course 204 SLO #1 I P/M SLO #2 I/P M SLO #3 P SLO #4 SLO #5

Step 3 Provide the method of assessment for the program-level assessment. Direct Methods Indirect Methods Standardized tests Certificate exams Locally developed tests/test questions Rubrics for evaluating: Essays/Papers Labwork Exam questions Capstone projects Exhibits Performances/Presentations Portfolios of student work Comprehensive exams Surveys Student Alumni Employer Exit interviews Focus groups Job placement rates Course evaluations

Sample Curriculum Map – Step 3 Course 101 Course 102 Course 103 Course 104 Course 201 Course 202 Course 203 Course 204 SLO #1 I P/M Test Qs SLO #2 I/P M Project SLO #3 P Quiz SLO #4 Essay SLO #5 MC test

Best Practices for Curriculum Mapping Involve all faculty Once SLOs have been determined, ask each instructor to complete a curriculum map for the course(s) he/she teaches. Once the curriculum map has been drafted, share with all faculty. When curriculum map has been completed, distribute to all faculty. Students should have multiple exposures to SLOs with opportunities for practice. Address wherever there are gaps.
