During the past year programs needed to migrate from Individualized PLOs to the Common ACPHA PLOs. This applied to the Program\u2019s Assessment Plans\/Data as well. Programs were required to move to the Common ACPHA PLOs by the fall 2022. These PLOs should also be posted on the Program\u2019s website landing page, and incorporated in course syllabi, and assessment plans. All programs will be evaluated only on the results of the assessment of the Common ACPHA PLOs during an accreditation visit. ACPHA held several virtual training sessions during the migration to share the new standard changes and common PLOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those programs that were not able to attend the virtual training sessions, below is the link to a recorded session as well as the presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/v5ebkr-8uJI\">ACPHA Standard Changes and Common PLOs Recorded Training Session<\/a><\/mark><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"> <\/mark><\/strong><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><br><\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acpha-cahm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Standard-Changes-Training-Updated-9-27-21.pptx\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">ACPHA Standard Changes and Common PLOs PowerPoint Presentation<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The five (5) ACPHA Common Program Learning Outcomes: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.
