Hi Mathew:
One thing that may work well with reviewing SLOs on a regular basis is to write out the daily objectives (that correlate with the overall objectives) on the white board each day.
Additionally, the instructor might review these daily objectives both at the beginning of the class, and at the end.
Regards, Barry
The outcome should be that the student has grasped and applied the course content. They should be able to utilize it in their continued studies throughout the program and beyond for their chosen field.

The outcome of SLO is an informed student that is competent in his/her skills and knowledge. He or she should be able to discuss and/or demonstrate their skills.
The desired outcome is that the students learn in the manner that accomplishes the most for them in terms of learning. Once again, I do not believe this is the "you can have it your way" approach. The instructors as gatekeepers need to make sure they learn in the best way possible, not the way that is the easiest for them.
As we focus on a more individualized teaching strategy, students will have a more effective and succesfull learning. I think the best example of student learning is when the students find meaning to the skills they are learning and apply them to the real world scenario of the industry they will be getting into in the future.
Hi Aaron:
One of the best ways of being a student-centered instructor is to consistently be flexible in our approach. This may be difficult, especially with technical course work that must be delivered to the student in order for them to move on in a training program.
However, if we can always keep in mind the teaching methods that work best for your student group, and having a willingness to make changes in delivery on the fly will promote the outcomes that are in the best interests of our students.

I think we've all seen the different types of students who are great in the classroom but can't get the comfort in the clinical setting and visa versa, the student who is great in the clinical setting and is barely making the grade. I have discussed this phenomenon with students and have encouraged them both to reach into their depths to see what it is they need to do to accomplish both. Even working/learning with and from their peers can enhance knowledge and practice.

It helps students apply the imformation learned to the rest of their careers
Hi Cynthia:
One way to incorporate student learning outcomes into each day's class session is to write them out on a whiteboard and review them both at the beginning of class, then again at the end. We can also ask the students questions during the post-review time to make sure they understood the main ideas.
Regards, Barry
The outcome should be a student that can take what he/she was presented, and put it to use in the real world. If the information was presented in a way that they were able to apply it.
The outcome of student-centered learning is just that. Giving the students enough information/instruction until you see the "light bulb" turn on. The ah-ha moments are the ones that make it rewarding and lets the instructor know the information was received and understood. This kind of learning gives the student much more confidence then just telling them what they need to know/do.
I believe the outcome of student-centered learning is a more individualized, relevant education based on knowing the student, managing the class like a business and idenitfying with how the student learns best.
Hi James:
Very true - and on a broader level, we might also say we are trying to help our students become more effective decision makers in life.

Hi Deborah:
Exactly! In fact, some instructors find it useful to write out the daily objectives then review them at the end of the class as a way to support the very thing you describe.

Education and learnining are life long processes. That by learning and thru gaining new knowledge and accurring new skills, the student will experience personnel growth.
