ESL Student Learning Outcomes Assessment for Adjunct Faculty
Area of Inquiry
Our ESL/SLO FIG has three goals:
- Involve adjunct and full-time faculty who are teaching ESL 110A and ESL 110B
in evaluating SLOs and assessing them in their respective sections in the Spring
2009 or Fall 2009 semesters.
- Analyze data from the SLO assessment cycle for ESL 110A and ESL 110B. This
will include a discussion of whether or not the SLOs and rubrics as currently
written are effective or need editing. Furthermore, the assessment results of
those SLOs will be analyzed to see how well they align with our curriculum at
those two levels.
- Provide a two-hour stipend to compensate participating adjunct faculty.
Discoveries to Date
Kent and Linnea held two separate meetings in
the spring semester to meet with the ESL 110A/B instructors and explain the SLOs
and rubrics for those classes. Each instructor was asked to collect data for one
SLO for their section. The instructors were invited to attend the staff
development sessions in the spring/fall semesters to learn how to use the
software program eLumen. At this time, we are waiting for the necessary files to
be made available to us through eLumen so that we can all input our class data
and then analyze our assessment results. We will then have a meeting to go over
these results, and Kent and Linnea will subsequently share our FIG experience
with the BSI committee on Dec. 8th.
