Rubric for Evaluating Institutional Effectiveness (2011) Part I - Program Review Part II - Planning Part III -Student Learning Outcomes Where do I find the entire rubric? content/uploads/2011/10/CoverMemoAndRevi sedRubric_ pdf

Rubric – Part I: Program Review Program review processes are ongoing, systematic and used to assess and improve student learning and achievement. The institution reviews and refines its program review processes to improve institutional effectiveness. The results of program review are used to continually refine and improve program practices resulting in appropriate improvements in student achievement and learning.

Rubric– Part II: Planning The institution uses ongoing and systematic evaluation and planning to refine its key processes and improve student learning. There is dialogue about institutional effectiveness that is ongoing, robust and pervasive; data and analyses are widely distributed and used throughout the institution. There is ongoing review and adaptation of evaluation and planning processes. There is consistent and continuous commitment to improving student learning; and educational effectiveness is a demonstrable priority in all planning structures and processes.

Rubric Part III: Student Learning Outcomes Student learning outcomes and authentic assessments are in place for courses, programs, support services, certificates and degrees. There is widespread institutional dialogue about the results of assessment and identification of gaps. Decision-making includes dialogue on the results of assessment and is purposefully directed toward aligning institution-wide practices to support and improve student learning. Appropriate resources continue to be allocated and fine- tuned.

Rubric Part III: Student Learning Outcomes, continued Comprehensive assessment reports exist and are completed and updated on a regular basis. Course student learning outcomes are aligned with degree student learning outcomes. Students demonstrate awareness of goals and purposes of courses and programs in which they are enrolled.

Citrus College Institutional Effectiveness Committee Standing Committee of Steering Co-chaired by Program Review Coordinator and Director of Institutional Research

Citrus College Institutional Effectiveness Committee Purpose: Review and make recommendations on matters regarding institutional effectiveness, i.e. the review and assessment of the integrated planning process and the means by which it is linked to the budget process. Charge: Advance the college mission by promoting an ongoing, collegial, self-reflective dialogue based on a culture of evidence and data-driven decision-making.

Integrated Planning Model Mission, Vision, Values Strategic PlanBoard Goals Annual and Comprehensive Program Reviews Educational and Facilities Master Plan Annual and Comprehensive Program Reviews Institutional Support Plans Annual Implementation Plans/Progress Reports Resource Allocation Plan Implementation Assessment Program Improvement

Student Services Program Review Like academic program review, student services program review consists of on-going, high quality peer reviews of all the college's student service areas on a five-year cycle to determine strengths and areas needing improvement.

Instructional Support Program Review Annual Analyze library, learning center, honors, learning communities Develop unit plans Strategies to remedy weaknesses, Contributions to institutional goals and strategic objectives Budget requests for equipment, staff and facilities Report on assessment of student learning outcomes Comprehensive Verify content of curriculum is current

Student Services Program Review Annual Analyze student services programs to identify strengths and weaknesses Develop unit plans to identify Strategies to remedy weaknesses Contributions to institutional goals and strategic objectives Budget requests for equipment, staff and facilities Report on assessment of student learning outcomes Comprehensive Verify content of curriculum is current

Library & Learning Support Services

ACCJC Recommendation Library and Learning Support Services To meet the standard, the team recommends the college and its libraries develop and implement an on-going formal assessment of their library services, on-line services, and student learning outcomes. (Standards II.C.1.b, II.C.1.c, II.C.2)

Library SLOs A Cuesta College information literate student is one who should know or be able to do the following: – Conceptualize and communicate a research topic or information need, and know when expert assistance is necessary. – Synthesize material and evaluate whether information need has been successfully satisfied. – Locate, use, and evaluate library and information resources relevant to class assignments and personal information needs.

Assessment Strategies Library Assessment Committee – Direct and formalize the assessment of library services, collections, online services, and SLOs. Data, Data, Data – Usage statistics for online and print collections – Reserve materials – Interlibrary request – Reference desk usage

Even more data… – English Composition Library Research Workbook – Online Information Competency Tutorial – Research Skills Class – Library Satisfaction Survey – Library Orientation Surveys Pre & post Program Review – Assessments – Improvements – Resource Allocation Assessment Strategies

“Dialogue about institutional effectiveness is ongoing, robust, and pervasive…” Dialogue around SLO assessment, program review, and planning/resource allocation are all part of the same, cyclical process Mission-driven, data-informed, & student learning-focused

What this looks like from inside a division: Every Semester: Instructor & Program Reflections Every Year: Program Review Annual Updates & Action Plans Academic Affairs / Student Services Component Goals Resource Allocation Discussions Every 3 Years: Institutional Goals / Mission Statement Review Every 6 Years: Full Program Review

What this looks like from inside a division: Every Semester: Instructor & Program Reflections Every Year: Program Review Annual Updates & Action Plans Academic Affairs / Student Services Component Goals Resource Allocation Discussions Every 3 Years: Institutional Goals / Mission Statement Review Every 6 Years: Full Program Review A quick aside about Reflections: Instructor & Program Reflections are the heart of our SLO efforts Keystone of our SLO Evidence Designed to prompt o Dialog o Collaboration o Improvement Efforts o Action Plan Rationale

What this looks like from inside a division: Every Semester: Instructor & Program Reflections Every Year: Program Review Annual Updates & Action Plans Academic Affairs / Student Services Component Goals Resource Allocation Discussions Every 3 Years: Institutional Goals / Mission Statement Review Every 6 Years: Full Program Review

How the cycle works: Reflections (SLO assessment data/dialogue)  identification of needs  action plan items for the Annual Update  planning/resource allocation  Reflections

How the cycle works: Reflections (SLO assessment data/dialogue)  identification of needs  action plan items for the Annual Update  planning/resource allocation  Reflections

Sample Student Learning Outcomes from the MPC Library Users of the MPC Library will: …be able to access and use information resources in a variety of formats; …have access to information and instruction services

Sample Program Reflections dialogue around those specific SLOs “The internal advances in tracking statistics and providing information (using LibStats and LibGuides for these, respectively) have been major successes.” “Budget issues will be challenges in the coming years, and we need to analyze usage patterns to make the best use of our funds.”

MPC Library’s Nursing LibGuide

Sample language from the Library’s Program Review Annual Update narrative : “…significant increases continue to be recorded in the use of the library’s online resources. Some representative databases and their growth in usage: Academic Search Premier +44% History Reference Center +45% Nursing Reference Center +177% The last figure is a good example of the impact of specific instruction and curricular changes, which can result in many students “discovering” a database that they had never been exposed to before. The explosive growth in physical usage experienced by the library in the first several years after the move to the Library and Technology Center building has stabilized, but demand for library resources is clearly continuing to grow.”

Path through the cycle: Reflections (SLO assessment data/dialogue) Data confirms that usage of both LibGuides & databases appears to be up, and that LibGuides use has a positive impact on database discovery  identification of needs  action plan items for the Annual Update  planning/resource allocation  Reflections

Path through the cycle: Reflections (SLO assessment data/dialogue) Data confirms that usage of both LibGuides & databases appears to be up, and that LibGuides use has a positive impact on database discovery  identification of needs Growth in demand for electronic resources, further incorporation of LibGuides into instruction  action plan items for the Annual Update  planning/resource allocation  Reflections
