Assessment Structure and Roles

All JCCC Faculty Members

Whether full time or adjunct, all JCCC faculty members share in the responsibility to provide quality education for our students. The development of curriculum, implementing delivery formats, and crafting engaging activities are strategically designed to enhance student learning. The assessment of Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) is the part of our responsibility to provide quality education that allows us to measure the results of our efforts and the opportunity to reflect and design methods to continuously improve what we do as faculty members. The end result is enhanced student learning. By continuously improving the quality of the education we deliver, the communities we serve will have a more sustainable future.

All JCCC Departments, Programs, and Divisions

Faculty members work together as departments, programs, and divisions to embrace assessment to ensure that JCCC’s credit offerings reflect our institution’s mission. Faculty members recognize that assessment is an ongoing process that focuses on understanding, documenting, and improving student learning.
