Data Summary | Eleven out of 12 students participated in presentations which directly addressed SLO-B. All students submitted reflective writings linked to SLOs. At the end of each class students identified three things based on the lecture/discussion: something they found interesting; something they didn't know before; something they want to learn more about. |
Analysis Summary | Presentations were evaluated to measure how closely they met the standard "Investigate strategies to improve parent-provider communication". The presentations had to address two aspects of communication: they had to inform the school community of resources or strategies for parent education; and they had to build community in the execution of the plan. (e.g., a parent group could organize a calendar or community resource board identifying activities for children and families.) The three questions were helpful in identifying areas that needed more coverage. |
Next Steps Planned | Because the SLO-related activities were successful I will use the same strategies next semester. |

Changes
Details | I added more emphasis on SLOs. At the end of class students identified the SLOs which had been covered by the class content. I also used SLO Bingo to engage students. |

More Details | I plan to continue what has already been started, including assessment, analysis, and discussion. I will continue to do a "SLO check" regularly so students can identify which outcomes are being addressed. I will continue to assign reflective papers, parent interviews, and presentations. I will also expand SLO Bingo and SLO Jeopardy because students were very engaged and proud to show off their expertise. |
