  • External data
Assessment DescriptionWe implemented an employer survey to assess across PSLOs in all CDEV programs.

We administered an Employer Survey in order to gather data about Child Development students employed in San Francisco.

All courses offered from Fall 2012 - Spring 2013 administered SLO Surveys where students rated their understanding of 1-3 SLO's on a scale of 1-7, provided a definition of a key term and gave feedback on strengths and areas for improvement in each class. Every instructor analyzed their data and identified strengths and changes to make in their teaching.
