Overview of 2013-2014 Assessment Projects

Assessment work in 2013-1014 shifted from single- and dyad-authored rubrics to a focus on more programmatic assessment.  The RFP in fall 2013 required faculty to work within program or discpline parameters and involve program leads or coordinators, department chairs, and/or division deans, and emphasized the communal nature of the projects we were soliciting. We designed the RFP to reflect the varied levels of preparation and readiness that departments and programs had with assessment work and earmarked three levels of funding: A) 22 hours for programs, departments, or division teams to hold conversations about how the CLOs intersect with program and/or course outcomes, work that may also involve development of a discipline-specific rubric; B) 18 hours for mapping CLOs to course outcomes; C) 75 hours for programs or departments that have already developed a rubric and are to score artifacts using this rubric.

The majority of projects focused on funding levels A or B (or both), as faculty in a variety of disciplines—Biology, Dental Hygiene, French, Spanish, English/Writing, Speech and Communication, and the Physical Therapist Assistant Program (PTA)—worked on mapping and rubric development, while Art initiated an artifact-scoring project.
