College Curriculum Committee Presentations

Since 2009 CNM Has Been Defining What Happens in Our Courses and Programs

•What Students Learn (Student Learning Outcomes)•How we Assess Student Learning (Assessment Cycle Plans)•How we Award Credit (Course types and contact hours)

General Education SLOsAdopting the New Mexico General Education Student Learning Outcomes

•Critical Thinking SLOs dropped because they are covered in NM Gen Ed SLOs for Communication Area• Life Skills SLOs dropped to be developed in programs• Professionalism Team

• Computer Literacy SLOs will remain as they are currently and a sub team of the SAAC will recommend any changes

Department of Education• In 2011, Department of Education required all colleges to define a credit hour and determine credit hour: contact hour ratios. CCC and Deans Council together created and approved the credit hour ratio document in February 2012• 8 course types (theory (1:1), lab, clinical, internship, and practicum (1:3), studio (1:2), field exp., and clinical intensive(1:4)

• Since 2012, schools have been bringing their courses into one of these course types, or designing theory + lab or clinical hours.

Financial Aid

Course SLOs must be at the high school level or higherCourses must be required for entry into a course or program or be required or approved in a qualified programCertificate programs at public institutions must prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation. A program would be considered to lead to gainful employment if it meets at least one of three metrics that have to do with cost of the program and projected earnings of the graduate.
