Merryhill School

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are clearly defined statements that articulate the specific knowledge, abilities, and attitudes students will obtain by graduation. SLOs serve as benchmarks for program efficacy, ensuring students acquire targeted competencies aligned with program goals.

Key characteristics of SLOs include:

• Measurable: SLOs should be quantifiable, allowing instructors to assess student mastery through assignments, exams, or projects.
• Action-oriented: They focus on what students will be able to do with the knowledge they gain, not just memorization.
• Aligned: SLOs should cascade across different educational levels (course, program, institution) to ensure a cohesive learning experience.
