Say It: Planning

Do It:  Collection and Analysis
Responsibility: 
Departments/Colleges, Full-time faculty

Prove It: Report and Take Action
Responsibility:
Departments/Colleges, Full-time Faculty, CDD

Formulate program competencies and course objectives

Collect print-form (hard copy) student artifacts

Report results of analysis and interpretation to department chair/Dean, UAC, and OA&IR

Identify Assignments and Discussion Questions to measure acquisition of competencies and objectives

Strip print-form artifacts of identifiers and code them to preserve aggregate demographics

Using results of analysis phase, formulate evidence-driven action plan(s) to intervene and improve the course.

Identify necessary rubrics/criteria/standards

Draw a random sample of electronic-form student artifacts from the shared drive, or request a representative sample of e-form student artifacts from the OA&IR (stripped, coded, and randomly selected)

Report Assessment Action Plan(s) to department chair/Dean, UAC, and OA&IR

Identify supplemental indirect assessments as necessary

Strip e-form artifacts of identifiers and code them, if they were not obtained through the OA&IR

Implement the action plan(s)

Identify formative and summative assessment points

Working in teams of at least 3, score artifacts against the appropriate rubric

Assess results of the Action Plan(s):  Did the intervention result in improved student learning? (This step often requires repeating the collection and analysis process.)

Develop course learning objectives master matrix

Submit resulting raw data to the OA&IR for statistical processing

Report results of Action Plan assessment to department chair/Dean, UAC, and OA&IR

Identify gaps and repetition

Disseminate OA&IR data reports to primary constituents for analysis and interpretation (i.e., turn data into evidence)

 

Formulate logistical plans for collection and analysis of data

 

 

Formulate collection and analysis cycle and timeline
