Previous Projects- Discipline Team Rubric Creation 2012-2013

The Assessment Team invites part-time and full-time faculty to form discipline teams and engage with the new Core Learning Outcomes. Teams of up to 5 part-time and full-time faculty receive 10 hours each of curriculum development funds to create a rubric which reflects the abilities of learning within your discipline.  Project acceptance is first-come first served and is limited to 8 teams.

Project purpose

• Develop rubrics to assess student learning outcomes that are meaningful to faculty within disciplines
• Promote part-time and full-time faculty professional development in assessment within disciplines
• Provide resources for faculty (part-time and full-time) within disciplines (funding, professional development) to reflect and collaborate on discipline practices for student learning assessment
• Facilitate interdisciplinary conversations about how the core learning outcomes are assessed within various disciplines
• Share project outcomes with faculty and the college

Project outcomes:

• Create a rubric for a core learning outcome which reflects the abilities and levels of learning in your discipline
• Align levels of learning with current descriptors (beginning, developing, proficient, accomplished)
• Briefly describe the team's methods to complete the project
• Describe opportunities for future development of discipline-level core learning outcome assessment

Who should apply

• Part-time and full time faculty discipline teams of 2*-5 members, (20-50 hours per team)
