5 Steps to Renew Program-Level Learning Outcomes Assessment

Does your outcomes assessment program meet the grade?

For years now, most college and university programs and departments have been implementing assessment strategies to attempt to measure and document student learning.

If it has been years since you last reviewed your assessment procedures, however, then you may be long overdue for an update.

Whatever the impetus, institutions need to take time at regular intervals to engage in program revision.

Otherwise, they risk engaging in pointless assessments that reveal little and fail to lead to measurable improvements in teaching and learning experiences.

Lisa Shibley, Ph.D., of Millersville University provides an overview of the latest strategies for updating and managing an effective and meaningful program of learning assessment.

This 60 minute seminar covers:

• Ways to review and renew learning outcomes
• The role of curricular maps
• The Learning Opportunities Matrix
• Connecting program outcomes to mission and general education objectives
• Reviewing collected outcome information
• Classroom assessment techniques to improve students' learning
• Integrated assessment strategies
• Identifying learning opportunities in your programs
• Enhancing and refining existing strategies to assess stated learning outcomes
• Sharing and discussing results with colleagues and stakeholders

We also identify three updates to implement during your next assessment cycle and helps you create a checklist of key elements to review in your outcomes assessment process
