CLARIFYING THE PATH

West Hills College Coalinga Degree Qualifications Profile Project

Our Objective

“To create a coherent plan of courses for students pursuing CTE degrees”

• Ensure the degree-level SLOs were valuable

and representative of intentional learning

• Develop a cross-functional team for a

robust and dynamic project

Our Focus

• 1. AS-T in Administration of Justice
• 2. AS in Agriculture Science Technology

Now What?

Our Team

√ SLO Coordinator √ Curriculum Chair √ Institutional SLO Representative √ CTE Faculty √ GE Faculty √ Counseling √ Librarian √ Administration

Our Process

• The Ah-ha Moments

– Secure professional development space – Focus on the BIG picture

• SKILSS and ABILITIES

– Define the relationship between degree-level SLOs and course-level SLOs

• RESULT: “The Pre-DQP”

– Distinguish between “Introduced”, “Practiced”, and “Demonstrated” SLOs

OUTCOMES:

• 1. Rewrite

program-level SLOs

• 2. PSLOs must be

tied to industry standards

What We Learned

• Degree course sequencing is key

– Students must engage with material at the right time

• Faculty are ready for quality SLOs

– Faculty must see the interconnectedness and functionality

• f SLOs
• Outcomes are more important than courses

– Technology must support student achievement, not just course completion

• Assessments define SLOs

– Assessments must contextualize SLOs

The Work Continues…

• Map General Education Areas to DQP
• Replace current ISLOs with DQP
• Better data collection and utilization
• Succession planning for DQP leadership
• Permanent development space
• Leverage our learning to other initiatives
