• Campus wide SLOs incorporate all areas of campus, starting with the mission statement and the goals established from the mission statement. It serves as a snapshot of who we (at COM) in all elements. The process should be faculty driven. The theme for this year's campus-wide SLO is "Community Building."
  
• WASC requires that COM complete a campus-wide level SLOs,  program level SLOs and course level SLOs.
• All three levels should be occurring simultaneously.
  
• COM is currently in line with other community colleges regarding SLOs. We are neither ahead of other colleges or far behind; we are in the mean of the group.
  
• So far both non-academic and academic units were asked to write an SLO on Community Building. The next step is to measure if these SLOs have been  achieved.
  
• One goal is to build and launch a website to showcase what happens at COM in terms of SLOs.
  
• Currently the course outlines of record state SLOs, but these must be continuously measured. The process of establishing SLOs requires dialogue between instructors, such as discussing what is working and what is not. The process is designed to promote discussion, not division.
  
• The process also requires the establishment of evidence from departments showing they have achieved their outcomes.
• Examples of evidence may be focus groups where students or faculty discuss each SLO and give feedback, essay norming, small samplings, conversations among colleagues, quantitative and qualitative data from students: "I have learned . . ."; "I am able to . . . " "One thing I learned from the course is . . ."
