Om denne podkasten
This podcast is focused on what truly matters in education: skill and competency attainment. We examine how well-designed Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) provide a framework for measuring learning that’s observable, measurable and applicable. Our episodes bring practical insights and real-world examples from educators who use SLOs to support meaningful mastery, shifting the focus from abstract concepts to concrete results. This podcast is for those committed to an approach that values measurable student progress, where competency and skill acquisition define success.
