7 SLOs as a Theme The College “consciously and robustly” show positive efforts to produce and support student learning. Learning outcomes measured and assessed to determine how well learning is occurring so that improvement can be made. Faculty engagement in discussions of ways to deliver instruction to maximize student learning. Student services develop SLOs and evaluate their policies, processes, and procedures for student access and movement. SLOs are at the center of the institution’s key processes and allocation of resources.

20 What are the primary obstacles that cause the gap in performance? (What are the kinds of gaps?)

21 How do you know the gap exists? (What evidence do you have that establishes the gap?)

22 Types of Gaps Knowledge: Caused by knowledge, skills or abilities that must be learned to do the work Motivation:Faculty lack the active choice, mental effort or persistence Structural:Organizational barriers that block buy-in Source: Turning Research into Results, Clarke and Estes
