Student Learning & Licensure (SL&L)

The School of Education at Central Connecticut State University has chosen to partner with Watermark’s Student Learning & Licensure for assessment, accreditation, and continuous improvement.

Student Learning & Licensure advances effective assessment to improve student learning and institutional quality. Student Learning & Licensure provides online solutions and supporting services to plan and manage assessment processes and demonstrate both student learning achievement and institutional effectiveness for continuous improvement and accreditation.

Students

With Student Learning & Licensure, you have access to a rich set of capabilities that supports your education in meaningful ways, not just a place to turn in assignments. Here are just some of the things you can do with your Student Learning & Licensure account:

• Reflect on your learning experiences inside and outside of the classroom and personal growth over time regarding the knowledge and skills you are expected to master as a result of your education.
• Receive rich feedback from others, beyond course grades, for helping you improve in the areas that matter most for your discipline and general education.
• Turn your work into multiple high-impact online portfolios that showcase your experience, skills, and achievements through a variety of media for employers, instructors, and others.
• Maintain a record of work samples and accomplishments even after you graduate.
• Contribute to the accreditation and improvement of your program and institution -- the data the institution collects from scoring their work can be used to assess effectiveness and inform improvement.

All students within the School of Education in programs leading to educator certification will be required to submit electronic evidence at various points in their training. Therefore, a Student Learning & Licensure account is required for all students. The cost for an account is $139 plus tax. This is a one-time fee providing you with a lifetime subscription.
