LASC 2010 Program Review Orientation May 12, 2010 1:00-3:00 pm Room LL202 Welcome and introduction--Angela

Why Are We Doing This? Los Angeles Southwest College: Committed to providing an environment for quality learning to enrich the lives of our diverse population. Purpose of Program Review--Angela

Academic Program Review: Ensures high-quality instructional programs Informs LASC planning and budgeting Purpose, continued--Angela Helps ensure that accreditation standards are met

Timeline Spring 2010 April 2010: Revised template approved by Academic Senate May 2010: Faculty orientations Work on reviews begins Student feedback collected June 1, 2010: Module 5 (SLOs) submitted Fall 2010 August 2010: 2009-2010 Data (Modules 1-3) available Sept. 2010: Program review marathon for initiators (2 weeks) Technical review readers comment on drafts October 2010: Program reviews are finalized and approved

Template Overview The template is a Word form that includes: An introduction related to the program Ten modules A conclusion Much of the content of the template is similar to previous program reviews. Overview of modules—much of it very similar to previous templates; a couple new areas we will focus on today How to access electronic template (box.net or on CD?) Hyperlinks in document with access to additional resources How do you access the electronic document? What are the hyperlinks in the document for?

Introduction to the Program Overview of the Program Mission Module One: Response to Demand Module Two: Demographics & Student Success Angela

Module 3: Program Resources Facilities, equipment, supplies WSCH per FTEF: Measure of efficiency Professional development Angela

Module 4: Educational Programs Outdated and Inactive Courses New Courses Vocational Programs Angela

Module 5: SLOs Identifying and Assessing Student Learning Outcomes at the Program Level

Program SLOs What is a “Program”? Any organizational unit that exists to assist students in achieving specific learning outcomes

Program Examples A discipline or cluster of disciplines in program review (e.g., Biological Sciences, ESL, etc.) Group of courses leading to a certificate or degree (e.g., AA in English, Professional Spanish Skill Certificate) Administrative or student service area (e.g., Personnel Office, Financial Aid Office, EOP&S, etc.)

Getting Started What roles will program graduates hold and what must they be able to do “out there” in the real world or in the next course or upper division work? How will the outcomes be demonstrated “in here?” What skills and concepts need to be learned?

When writing program outcomes: state the program purpose or mission consider other areas or programs that feed into or interact with your program analyze community expectations for the program survey program descriptors and accomplishments review the components (e.g., core courses) of the program and determine participant expectations

Assessment Cycle 1. Articulate goals for student learning 2. Gather evidence about how well students are meeting the goals (and discuss/interpret this evidence) 3. Use this information to improve and to make learning visible

Common Assessment Methods Tests Locally developed or Standardized Performances Recital, Presentation, or Demonstration Cumulative Portfolios, Capstone Projects Surveys Attitudes and perceptions of students, staff, employers Rubrics A scoring method for presentations, written papers, etc. Embedded Assessment Using existing exams, projects, etc. within the class Narrative Staff and student journals, interviews, focus groups

Embedded Assessments Embedded assessments make use of the actual work that students already produce in their courses (tests, papers, presentations, projects, etc). It is not the grades that are important. It is an evaluation of the assignments with the specific outcomes (SLOs) in mind.

Steps in Embedding Exam Questions Determine the specific outcome to assess. Decide in which courses the outcome will be assessed. Conduct an inventory of the exam questions already being used. Determine the number of questions needed to adequately assess the SLO. Integrate the exam questions into all sections of the course. Devise a way to evaluate the results (point total, scoring sheet, rubric, etc) Discuss the results with the entire program faculty.

Rubrics A rubric is a set of criteria and a scoring scale that is used to assess and evaluate students’ work. Rubrics can be used to evaluate embedded essay questions or other examples of student work such as papers, oral presentations, portfolios, etc. Excellent way to norm faculty expectations and evaluation.

Beginning 1 Developing 2 Accomplished 3 Exemplary 4 Score   Beginning 1 Developing 2 Accomplished 3 Exemplary 4 Score Stated Objective or Performance Description of identifiable performance characteristics reflecting a beginning level of performance. Description of identifiable performance characteristics reflecting development and movement toward mastery of performance. Description of identifiable performance characteristics reflecting mastery of performance. Description of identifiable performance characteristics reflecting the highest level of performance.

Questions to ask for your Assessment Plan Who is the target audience of my outcome? Who will collect and analyze the data? Where will it be done? How will data be collected? When and how often will it be done? Who will reflect on the results? When? How will results and implications be documented? Will it provide me with evidence that will lead me to make a decision for continuous improvement?

Compare Statements for a Chemistry Program SLO: Be able to successfully perform an acid-base titration. Given appropriate equipment, a known solid standard acid, a standard base solution of approximate concentration, and a pure solid monoprotic acid, 1) standardize the base solution and 2) determine the molar mass of the solid acid. Minimum performance criterion is an accuracy of 10 ppt; 90% will perform at the 5 ppt level.

Module 6: Student Feedback Collect feedback from students this semester Surveys Focus groups Interviews Analyze feedback on program strengths and weaknesses

Module 7: SWOC Program Weaknesses Program Opportunities Program Strengths Program Weaknesses Program Opportunities Program Challenges

Objectives Completed? In-progress? Not implemented? Review objectives from 2008 mini-review Completed? In-progress? Not implemented? 2010 Program Objectives Should be aligned with college goals Should be measureable, have a projected date for completion and a person responsible

Resource Requests Prioritize resource requests Should be tied to program objectives and strategic plan objectives

Concluding Comments What else should be known about your program? What three (3) recommendations do you have for the program?
