Learning outcomes are a significant part of student employment. Through learning outcomes, students are able to develop interpersonal, practical and transferable skills. Maintaining these outcomes for each student employee can enrich their overall collegiate experience and provide career readiness.

Effective learning outcomes:

• Are student-centered
• Focus on learning resulting from an activity rather than the activity itself
• Reflect the institution’s mission and the values it represents
• Align at the course/program, academic program/department, divisional, and institutional levels

Adapted from StudentVoice Webinar, Writing Effective Learning Outcomes, Spring 2011. Originally cited from Huba & Freed (2000).

Effective learning outcomes should align with the departmental, division, and university objectives, goals, and mission. They should always connect back to the big picture.

The ABCs of a Learning Outcome

• Audience (A) Who does the outcome pertain to?
• Behavior (B) What do you expect the audience to know/be able to do?
• Condition (C) Under what conditions or circumstances will the learning occur?

Examples of learning outcomes include:

• (Students) (will be able to recall) at least (5 of the 7 elements of the Social Change Model).
• (Students) (will demonstrate increased leadership skills) by (successfully completing a leadership skills inventory, as indicated by a score of at least 80% correct).

Examples of program outcomes include:

• (The XXX program) will (increase awareness of its programs/services) (by 20%).
• (The XXX program) will (increase the diversity of its volunteers) (to reflect the diversity at UWM).
