  2. ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS The School of Professional Studies Assessment Plan focuses on: • Assessment of Student Learning • Midpoint and Capstone Assessment • Evaluation of Student Portfolios • Language Placement Testing • Assessment of Program Effectiveness • Student Representative Meetings • End-of-Course Evaluations • External Peer Reviews • Continuous Assessment of Program Activities • Classroom Observations • Student Satisfaction Survey

  3. ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT LEARNING

  4. MIDPOINT ASSESSMENT • Is formative • Occurs at a crucial decision point • Helps them to see that assessment is helping them • Aids in retention • Provides information to the stakeholders

  5. CAPSTONE ASSESSMENT • Is summative • Provides opportunity to identify whether students have achieved selected program outcomes • Determines the strengths and weaknesses of students toward achievement of outcome expectations • Helps assess skills other than professional content mastery

  6. CREATING MIDPOINT/CAPSTONE ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS

  7. CREATING DLP OBJECTIVES • Small group met off campus at corporate house. • Consultant from Regis led discussion. • Group brainstormed list of possible DLP objectives. • Group classified objectives in categories: conceptual, language, communication, and interpersonal.

  8. CREATING AREA MANIFESTATIONS • The entire faculty met by academic areas on campus. • Using the DLP objectives, faculty wrote area manifestations aligning them with each objective.

  9. SELECTION OF PROGRAMS • Select diverse program areas. • Involve faculty and administration. • Identify programs which have heavy enrollment.

  10. SELECTION OF MID-POINT AND CAPSTONE COURSES • Qualitative analysis • Faculty opinion on content and coverage of program objectives and outcomes • Quantitative analysis • Significant achievement increment • Large enrollment

  11. ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENT DESIGN • Alignment chart • Assessment instruments • Diagnostic profile • Portfolios • Case studies • Metacognitive papers • Strategic Business Plan • Organization’s Financial Analysis • Rubrics

  12. ALIGNMENT CHART TEMPLATE

  13. ASSESSING OBJECTIVE OR OUTCOME/DUAL LANGUAGE AREA MANIFESTATION

  14. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT OF PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

  15. Student Achievement of Program Objectives • Mid Point Assessment (Program Level) • Designed by Faculty Experts • Rubrics and Evaluation Criteria developed specifically to measure program and language objectives • “Graded” by other Faculty Experts (not facilitator of the course) • Inter-rater reliability of over 80%

  16. Student Achievement of Program Objectives • The performance of the students is measured as follows: • 3.50 - 4.00 Excellent • 3.00 - 3.49 Very Good • 2.00 - 2.99 Satisfactory • Less than 1.999 Unsatisfactory

  21. Statistical Analysis Results

  22. USE OF ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING RESULTS

  23. Dissemination of Results • Internal: • Board of Directors • Faculty and Staff • External: • Professional and community forums • Data base for reaccreditation visits • Possible institutional and corporate alliances

  24. Program Improvement • Addition of language courses for graduate programs: 050, 500 and 501 • Emphasis on early or concurrent enrollment in these courses for graduate students

  25. Program Improvement • Revision of all course modules to explicitly include language objectives: “3rd generation of modules” • Inclusion of language development in class assignments, activities and resources • Evaluation activities to be 70% content, 30% language • Prioritization of graduate courses in the development of 3rd generation of modules

  26. Program Improvement • Replication of midpoint assessment model in MBA program to verify possible differences between bachelors and masters
