Developing and implementing assessment of student learning outcomes

As a result of changes in accreditation standards and state mandates, community colleges are under increased pressure to produce evidence of student learning and achievement. Accreditation standards and state accountability mandates are asking community colleges to produce comprehensive systems for assessing student learning outcomes that go beyond course grades and number of degrees and certificates awarded. What is being requested is actual evidence of what students have learned at the course, program, and certificate and degree levels ... This volume provides examples that community colleges can apply to measuring student learning outcomes at the classroom, course, program, and institutional levels to satisfy local, state, and accreditation requirements for assessing learning outcomes as a means for improving student success -- from cover.
