Outcomes Assessment Engagement Stages Discovery & Planning Understand Institution’s Assessment Structure & Objectives Discuss Goals & Rubrics & Assessment Processes Identify & Plan Initial Programs to Implement Onsite Meetings & Outcomes Setup Setup Outcomes Processes Goals & Rubrics Alignments Evidence Collection Collection Process Deliver Courses Students Submit Work Artifacts Collected Evaluation Artifacts sampled & evaluated Analysis & Reporting Produce Reports Make Adjustments Prepare for second cycle & new programs

Spring 2015 Activities Goals & Rubrics Courses, Assignments, Alignments ONSITE Evidence Collection & Processing Evaluation Analysis & Reporting (Remote Sessions) Identify Initial Programs for implementing Outcomes; construct foundation Onsite discussions help us implement initial Outcomes programs to construct foundation and identify processes for future use of Outcomes

Lakeland Project Objective Automate collection and evaluation of direct evidence Automate rubric scoring and generate reports Leverage current curriculum mapping in TaskStream Signature assignments Learning Goals & Assessment Rubrics created Build foundation for future use of Outcomes Identify processes and guidelines for on-boarding programs Select initial “programs” for implementation Full implementation of Outcomes can be 3 to 5 years

Outcomes Demonstration

Blackboard Outcomes Demonstration Demonstrate program-level assessment Some Terminology Outcomes Goals = Program Student Learning Outcomes Outcomes Rubrics = Assessment Rubrics (i.e., AAC&U Value Rubrics) Outcomes Evidence = Direct Evidence (student work) Outcomes Evaluations = Scoring Assessment Rubrics Outcomes Reports = Aggregated Reports from Scored Assessment Rubrics

Outcomes Program Level Assessment Process Enter Program Learning (Outcomes) Goals Align Course Assignment to Goals Collect Direct Evidence (Student Submissions) Enter Program-level Assessment Rubrics Create Evaluation Sessions for Scoring Direct Evidence Generate (Aggregated) Reports from Scored Rubrics Hand off Reports to Programs to Make Improvements

Defining the Programs for Outcomes Implementation

Initial Program Implementation Recommended Initial Programs: Institutional CORE Student Learning Outcomes General Education = Program 1 to 2 student learning outcomes (i.e., written communication, critical thinking, ethical reasoning, etc.) Assess most mature student work when possible End of term evaluation of artifacts by faculty teams 1 to 2 Disciplines =NURSING 1 to 2 Program level learning outcomes

Next Steps Webinar #2 – March 18th Defining Initial Outcomes Implementation Lakeland will present on its Current Assessment Process & Structure Reports & Data Needs Discuss /Define Potential “Programs” to be assessed Which Student Learning Outcomes? What will be the scope of courses / direct evidence? What is the Status Assessment Rubrics? What is the current assessment process used by programs? Outcomes Building Block Validation Task
