Each table should have no more than 2 faculty from the same department. Distinct Experience--Sandra There is a lot of pressure for institutions of higher education to create an educational experience that is nice, convenient and possibly even easy. A distinct experience is memorable and personal. This is the experience which will create graduates. Nice, convenient and easy is viewed as “Time well saved” Memorable and personal experiences are viewed as “Time well spent” Time well saved equals--time watching the clock; box checking; jumping through hoops; accumulating credits Time well spent equals—engaged students, engaged faculty, engaged alums

Academic Assessment Asks… “How well did our students learn the things we set out for them to learn?” … and then asks us to respond to that data. As instructors, we naturally do this in our courses. Academic assessment looks at the entire curriculum, because a curriculum is more than the sum of its parts. Distinct Experience--Sandra There is a lot of pressure for institutions of higher education to create an educational experience that is nice, convenient and possibly even easy. A distinct experience is memorable and personal. This is the experience which will create graduates. Nice, convenient and easy is viewed as “Time well saved” Memorable and personal experiences are viewed as “Time well spent” Time well saved equals--time watching the clock; box checking; jumping through hoops; accumulating credits Time well spent equals—engaged students, engaged faculty, engaged alums

Why Do We Do Academic Assessment? The “carrot” – continuous improvement We look at data to see how we can do better for our students. The “stick” – accreditation (institutional and programmatic) Accreditors want to see evidence of genuine continuous improvement processes. Assessment activity that doesn’t support these goals needs to be revisited, revised, or redesigned. Faculty and staff time is too valuable to do otherwise. Distinct Experience--Sandra There is a lot of pressure for institutions of higher education to create an educational experience that is nice, convenient and possibly even easy. A distinct experience is memorable and personal. This is the experience which will create graduates. Nice, convenient and easy is viewed as “Time well saved” Memorable and personal experiences are viewed as “Time well spent” Time well saved equals--time watching the clock; box checking; jumping through hoops; accumulating credits Time well spent equals—engaged students, engaged faculty, engaged alums

Faculty Leadership Genuine continuous improvement of academic programs must center on faculty – the ones designing and implementing changes to better serve students.

Office of Academic Excellence Seth Anthony, Director Nellie Stewart, Executive Assistant OAE works with (1) academic assessment, (2) general education, and (3) faculty development. OAE’s job with assessment is to lower barriers and empower faculty to reflect on and respond to data; to support genuine continuous improvement.

How Do We Do Academic Assessment? Each program has PSLOs: Program Student Learning Outcomes. Across all bachelor’s degrees, we have ESLOs: Essential Student Learning Outcomes. Ultimate goal: students demonstrate mastery (to us as instructors, to employers, etc.) Distinct Experience--Sandra There is a lot of pressure for institutions of higher education to create an educational experience that is nice, convenient and possibly even easy.
