UA Fort Smith
• Old Process – Unmanageable, no relevant information, burden to faculty and staff, disconnected with student learning, no feedback
• New Process – Data readily available, can directly link to student assessment, able to show linkage to institutional standards and objectives across all documents and coverage of standards
Sample Process to Achieve All Results
• Colleges write assessment plans that will measure student learning– May use components from College/Program level
accreditation performance standards, assessments, and reports (Current LiveText Usage for COE, COB, COH)
– If not accredited by outside agency, should write plan to support university program review processes
• Each plan should possess two student learning objectives and one general education learning objective
Sample Process continued
• Colleges submit plans for all approved programs – (Lowest level to submit is AAS, AA, AFA, etc.)
• Plans are peer reviewed by university assessment committee– Plans are scored utilizing a rubric correlated with
university general education competencies or standards• Adequate plans are activated
• Inadequate plans are rewritten until satisfactory
Sample Process continued
• Colleges/Programs write an annual report reviewing the results of their plan
• These reports are peer reviewed by university assessment committee– Reports are scored utilizing a rubric correlated
with university general education competencies or standards
• Adequate reports are accepted and archived • Inadequate reports are rewritten until satisfactory
Now WHAT?
• University level assessment committee and chair discuss the overall quality of all plans and reports.
• Committee makes recommendations for procedural or content changes for plans or reports
• Colleges/Programs will submit a plan for the following year which might be either a continuation or a new plan depending upon the recommendation of the committee.
