JACKSON STATE UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE WORKSHOP By: Dr. Shemeka McClung Director Ms. Arnitra Hunter Research Associate Institutional Research Planning and Assessment

Session Goals To redefine assessment as it relates to our University’s mission. To re-visit assessment templates to ensure understanding of completion of all components necessary for completion. To understand the “how to” when submitting the completed assessment report.

Agenda Article on Assessment Assessment Reporting Data Collection/Results for Outcome Use of Results to Improve Instructional Program for SLOs Major Difficulties Academic goals for the next year Question and Answer Session

JSU MISSION AND VISION MISSION The University produces technologically-advanced, diverse, ethical, global leaders who think critically, address societal problems and compete effectively. VISION Building on its historic mission of empowering diverse students to become leaders, Jackson State University will become recognized as a challenging, yet nurturing, state-of-the-art technologically-infused intellectual community. Students and faculty will engage in creative research, participate in interdisciplinary and multi-institutional/ organizational collaborative learning teams and serve the global community.

Assessment Goal Goal —To maintain a culture of assessment at Jackson State University in both academic and non-academic areas whereby improvements in organizational efficiency is observed for administration, faculty, staff, students, and other stakeholders.

Why is Assessment Important? STUDENT LEARNING Goal Attainment Decision Making Accountability Accreditation—SACS 3.3 Institutional Effectiveness (The Institution identifies expected outcomes, assesses the extent to which it achieves these outcomes, and provides evidence of improvement based on analysis of the results. Improvement in Service

Assessment Reporting Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) Means of Assessment/Criteria for Success Data Collection/Results for Outcome Use of Results to Improve Instructional Programs for SLOs Major Difficulties Academic Goals for FY’16

Your Role Involve your department in the entire assessment process You are the VIP – the key to Student Learning and University SUCCESS Remember that YOU are the expert in your area. Your voice and involvement is needed.

Mission statement for accuracy Departmental Mission Mission statement for accuracy Describes the services of the College/Division Describes the services of the Unit/Department Describes the existence You cannot change your Mission. Every department should have a mission. If your department does not have a mission please be sure to meet with your department and department head before making any decisions on a mission. Remember this is a group effort.

Student Learning Outcomes Instructional Units - What do you want students to know, think or do when they have completed the program? -3-5 student learning outcomes (SLO’s) - Educational Program Outcomes (ex. Summer Developmental Program) - Student Achievement Outcomes - SLOs should be measurable - Reflect outcomes of the prescribed curriculum - Verb Tense-future such as “will” Have everyone to look at their assessment plan – let the members self check their own plans. – Each member should have a rubric. Educational program goal is to ensure that all students reach challenging academic standard that prepares them for the future. Ex. Student Achievement will be what the student accomplished after they have completed the program.

Example of Expected Outcomes (SLO) Example (Bachelor of Arts- English) – Students will demonstrate language and writing proficiency.

Let’s Practice Select the SLOs The English Department will have a national reputation Students will be able to think critically, creatively and independently Students will be able to demonstrate effective oral and written communication skills using traditional innovative and technological practices. The English Department will be accredited by PHAT.

Means of Assessment Assessment Measures How will the success of the outcome be measured? Multiple Measures 2 per objective Use methods that evaluate more than one objective. Direct Measures (portfolios, papers, projects, internships, performances, standardized tests) Indirect Measures (surveys, focus groups, interviews, etc.) - Specific identification of the means Use SLO on previous page – to give examples of means of measurements

Criteria for Success Success Criteria Relate your success to your goals Quantify the Standards of Success Anticipate desired results (realistic)

Examples of Assessment Method/Criteria Example (Bachelor of Arts- English): Writing assignments will be given to students in class and for homework. A rubric will be used to assess assignments with a grading scale from 1 to 5 with 5 being excellent. 80% of students will score 4 or above to meet to be proficient in writing. Students will be assessed by taking the Undergraduate English Proficiency Exam (UEPE). - 90% English majors will earn a score of 4 or above on a 1 – 6 grading scale on the UEPE

Data Collection Results Describe the process used to analyze and summarize results. Document your results! Does the data fail to meet, meets, or exceeds the criterion for success? Highlight Key Results Verb tense – past Relate to Expected Outcomes/Goal

Examples of Brief Summary of Assessment Results Example (Bachelor of Arts - English) – 70% of the students were proficient in writing, therefore we did not meet the standards. For the 2015 Academic year, 25 English majors sat for the exam. Of the 25, 84% of English majors scored 4 or better on the UEPE.

Use of Results to Improve Instructional Programs and Services Data Results should indicate steps to improve or revise assessment processes. Results > Criteria for Success Revise the assessment process to increase success criteria or assessing another outcome/aspect of outcome may be necessary. Results < Criteria for Success Specific improvements are necessary. - Verb tense-present or past

Examples of Use of Results to Improve Instructional Program for SLOs We will continue to work with students on writing to become proficient. We will give students more in class writing assignments so that faculty will work directly with students. This will help students write at a better pace. Although we have met our goal, a number of issues are clear from examining the data. The biggest concern is that 19 students have completed the core English sequence but have not taken the UEPE. We will need to enroll all of those students in the exam for the coming semester and more closely track the freshman and sophomore students to be sure that they are enrolling in the exam as soon as they complete ENG 205.
