Welcome to the Instructional Division Outcomes and Assessment web pages
In these pages you will find a statement of principles and conclusions guiding the assessment process, frequently asked questions, and a glossary.
You will also find pages devoted to Career and Technical Education, General Education/Transfer, and Non-Credit that archive the work completed in each instructional area as we’ve moved forward in implementing an assessment based, learner-centered instructional program.
The training resources link will take you to the PowerPoints presented at the Spring 2007 workshops on writing student learning outcomes, developing assessment tools, and incorporating rubrics in your assessment process.
One last thought --
As you consider the linked material, please keep in mind that the process of evolving a learner-centered curriculum succeeds meaningfully only if everyone participates, speaking within and across disciplines, at every stage and in an ongoing manner to create a meaningful, manageable and sustainable assessment process. Incorporating outcomes and assessment across instruction must be a faculty-designed, learning-centered enterprise.
Thank you, once again, for your support.
OAC
Student Learning Outcomes and Authentic Assessment
Over the past five years, the Outcomes & Assessment Committee (OAC) has provided the conceptual framework, core values, and exemplary leadership that have shaped our College’s approach to the incorporation of Student Learning Outcomes across our curriculum and programs. Effective June 2009, the work of the OAC is now being integrated within our new Governance Model, with associated responsibilities for the SLO processes shared between two key College governance committees. Julie Cord is Outcomes Lead, Academic Affairs Committee and Gail Baughman is Outcomes Lead, Courses and Programs Committee. Mark Whitney has assumed responsibilities as Lead Outcomes Coordinator for 2009-10. |
