The 2009 POWER Awards

                This is the inaugural year of the POWER Awards (Promising Outcomes Work and Exemplary Research).  Nominations were received from around the state in 19 categories.  This year's recipients are noted below and the awards will be presented at the SLO Coordinators Pre-Conference Session.  If you have not signed up for the event, please click here.

The SLO Glossary

The glossary project is one we would like to invite you to help with immediately. The purpose is to create some common terminology throughout California for the words we use to describe SLOs and assessment. It will also help the collaboration of faculty and researchers.

We need your input!

The DRAFT Glossary is the result of a collaboration between the statewide Academic Senate and the Research and Planning Group in response to an ASCCC resolution from faculty in the field.

Could you help us by reviewing the DRAFT Glossary and responding to a very short (5 questions) survey regarding the glossary that’s noted on this page. Please respond to these questions by March 10.

We hope to have an updated and vetted glossary by April.

Thanks.

              Take the Survey! 

Oh, please post a comment that you have on our blog.

Did you attend the SLO Rubric Breakout with Steve Maradian (ACCJC), Bob Pacheco (Barstow) and Maggie Taylor (Fresno City) and want copies of the materials?
