Friday SLO Talks: Rethinking Student Learning Outcomes
Welcome to Friday SLO Talks, the podcast that redefines student success in higher education by focusing on learning as skill and competency development, not just course completion or diploma attainment.
Presented by the California Outcomes Assessment Coordinators' Hub (COACHES), each episode explores effective teaching practices and assessment strategies that emphasize meaningful, measurable growth. Through in-depth conversations with educators, program leaders, and academic innovators, we bring you practical insights and tools to enhance student learning in ways that matter.
If you’re a higher education professional dedicated to cultivating real-world skills and competencies in your students, join us for inspiring discussions and a community committed to reshaping the future of student-centered education.
