7 Institutional Mission Defines Institution’s broad purpose The intended student population A commitment to student learning All programs and services must align with this mission The mission is regularly reviewed and revised as needed The mission is central to planning and decision making

9 Programmatic Mission Program’s purposes: (workforce training, transfer prep, gen.ed., pre-collegiate education, etc.) Define programmatic student learning outcomes The program’s mission must align with institutional mission The mission is reviewed regularly and revised as needed The mission is central to programmatic planning and decision making

11 Student Achievement Outcomes Course completion data Retention term to term Progression to next course/level Program completion data Degree/certificate completion data Transfer rates Scores on licensure exams Job placement All data collected must be analyzed
12
12 Student Learning Outcomes Established at the course, program, degree, and certificate levels SLO development is a critical role of faculty and other academic personnel Is supported by campus leadership groups (senate, curriculum committee, admin., trustees) Must include assessment strategies Assessment data are collected All data collected must be analyzed

22 Assessment Gather meaningful student achievement data Measure attainment of student learning outcomes Data are qualitative and quantitative Data are longitudinal where appropriate Outcomes data are continually collected

24
24 Analysis of Outcomes Understanding the meaning of the data collected Data must be widely shared and discussed Governance groups must be informed
25

26
26 Identify Gaps Comparison of intended & actual outcomes What worked to attain intended outcomes? What part(s) of the program was less successful in attaining intended outcomes?

28
28 Design Program Changes To program outcomes To course outcomes To human, physical, technological and financial resources Programmatic changes must be in line with mission Planned changes must inform the process of budget allocation

30
30 Allocate Needed Resources -Results of program review are clearly and consistently linked to the institutional planning and resource allocation processes -Constituent groups on campus are involved in the decision-making processes
31
31 The Sustainable Continuous Quality Improvement Level of Program Review Program review processes are ongoing, systematic, and used to assess and improve student learning and achievement The institution reviews and refines the program review process to improve institutional effectiveness The results of program review are used to continually refine and improve program practices resulting in improvements in student achievement and learning

33
33 How Did We Get Here? Accreditation Standards have required program review and integrated planning since the 1990s To those requirements, there is an expectation that Student Achievement and SLO data become a part of the program review and planning processes
34
34 What is expected Now? Accredited colleges are expected to be at the Sustainable Continuous Quality Improvement Level on the Commission’s Rubric for Evaluating Institutional Effectiveness – Parts I and II (Program Review and Planning)
35
35 What is expected in the future? Accredited colleges are expected to remain at the Sustainable Continuous Quality Improvement Level on the Commission’s Rubric for Evaluating Institutional Effectiveness – Parts I and II (Program Review and Planning)
36
36 What is expected in the future? By 2012, colleges are expected to be at the Proficiency Level on the Commission’s Rubric Part III – Student Learning Outcomes Over time at this level, colleges will achieve the fourth level (Sustainable Continuous Quality Improvement)
