Sample Efficacy Report with Disaggregated SLO Data: The Architecture program submitted an efficacy report in the spring of 2019 that disaggregated SLO data in several ways and provided good analysis. This excerpt of the Student Success area of the Architecture efficacy report is a useful model, but efficacy writers are also urged to attend the SLO/SAO disaggregation workshops to fully understand how to access and use disaggregated SLO/SAO data.

CTE Labor Market Information (LMI): CTE programs must request LMI data from the Inland Empire/Desert Regional Consortium for Inland Empire and Desert Community Colleges. The request form can be accessed at this site: https://www.desertcolleges.org/lmi/index.php

SLO/SAO: Information on your program's SLOs or SAOs are found in the SLO Cloud. This is accessed through WebAdvisor or through the Log In link at the top right of the college website main page.

Program EMPs: All programs are required to update their Educational Master Plan (EMP) narrative each fall, based on annual data and new or emerging goals. Please use your current EMP in writing Efficacy Reports. However, historical EMPs can be found on the College Planning Documents page maintained by the Division of Research, Planning, and Institutional Effectiveness.

Research Requests: A link to the research request form can be found on the main webpage of the Division of Research, Planning, and Institutional Effectiveness. Deadlines to submit requests for needs assessment or efficacy are generally noted at the time those documents are sent to programs by the committee.
