It is good for student learning. It supports faculty engagement. It strengthens programs. It connects assessment to teaching and learning. 3

January 2010: Working group begins process of developing a statewide system for assessing student learning outcomes October 2012: Statewide conference on Quantitative Literacy Spring 2013: First pilot study to test a model for statewide assessment. The three learning outcomes: Critical Thinking, Quantitative Literacy, and Written Communication 4

Spring 2013 Massachusetts Pilot Study: Lessons learned Faculty scorer: “I spent almost a whole day scoring the quantitative literacy artifacts. It did not go well for multiple reasons... many of the artifact[s] weren't appropriate for this rubric (they were simple math quizzes).” Fall 2014 Multistate Collaborative Pilot Study: Benefits from Massachusetts’s experience 5

Know where you want to go: What is the key outcome you want? Consider how you might tweak an existing assignment to include that key outcome. Consider how an assignment might contribute to a student’s grasp of the defined learning outcome over time ◦ Analyze QL criteria to determine key components for a QL assignment in your field. ◦ Work backwards from a student artifact, preferably in a group, using the VALUE QL rubric; consider the DQP for reference. Assignments themselves may be arranged progressively or scaffolded across a course and through a program. ◦ What activities can you identify to improve critical thinking and integrative learning? ◦ Can the assignment be used for more than one outcome? ◦ How can you help students gain QL capacity over time in your disciplinary context? What are the types of assignments that will be most helpful for allowing students to demonstrate competency and help them get ready for the days after graduation? 17
