Annual Impact Summaries

There are several ways that the Engaged Learning Office gauges our impact. We administer Community-Engaged Learning and Study Abroad course surveys for students and faculty regularly. We also seek feedback from our program advisory committees. We assess how well student meet the civic literacy student learning outcome within designated community-engaged learning classes. Another way we measure impact is through quantitative reporting. Here is an overview of our program numbers as well as some demographics.

Program Review

Civic Literacy

Civic Literacy is a SLCC college-wide learning outcome. Since 2014 there has been an effort to assess General Education Student Learning Outcomes on an institutional and program level. Assessment of the Salt Lake Community College Civic Literacy Learning Outcome (CLSLO) is a part of this. The Engaged Learning Office has been driving these efforts to determine if community-engaged learning students are making gains with the college-wide civic literacy student learning outcome. A report outlining these efforts is created each year. As a part of this, resources have also been created that are helpful to faculty on a course level.

A CLSLO rubric provides language and as well as a framework for faculty providing tools to assess course-level civic learning, critical thinking surrounding social issues, and civic action. The rubric can be edited and customized for courses in a variety of disciplines. Reflection prompts also exist to help guide students with this learning. An outline of best practices for utilizing service in the curriculum can also help provide guidance.
