SLOA Committee

SLOA is a standing Faculty Association committee. Our purpose is to design, review, and recommend student outcome assessment procedures and activities that are consistent with Yavapai College's academic goals.

Each academic District Dean appoints a representative from the academic disciplines in their division. Other committee members include adjunct faculty, professional staff and students.

SLOA's specific objectives and responsibilities are to:

  1. To work with academic divisions and programs to develop and implement plans for student learning outcomes assessment to improve curriculum and instruction at the course and program levels.
  2. To review, develop, and recommend institutional assessment procedures and policies.
  3. To review assessment strategies, reporting strategies, and feedback processes.
  4. To work in cooperation with the Office of Academic Affairs and Faculty Senate to:
    • Familiarize YC faculty with the uses of assessment to strengthen student learning.
    • Familiarize YC faculty with issues and strategies of assessment.
    • Review assessment data and identify trends.
    • Facilitate periodic evaluation of the academic assessment effort at YC.
    • Advise Faculty Senate on matters related to assessment of student learning.
