REPORTING THE COURSE-LEVEL RWR ASSESSMENT DATA

Faculty Guide

RWR ASSESSMENT

Faculty at the degree program level will use the holistic Master Rubric to develop clearly stated scoring guidelines or analytic rubrics within the discipline to render reliable ratings.

RWR ASSESSMENT PLAN

The analytic rubrics are developed using from the holistic Master Rubric to develop the four student-learning outcomes (SLOs) in three areas: the experience, the work and the behavior.

Analytic rubrics within the discipline will be used to evaluate student writing (course embedded) and observed behavior (course embedded and community based).

RWR ASSESSMENT PLAN

These discipline-specific rubrics will align with the Master Rubric and reflect these assessment categories: Connections to the Experience, Professional Performance, Integrated Communication, Self-Assessment and Student Behavior.

RWR ASSESSMENT PLAN APPROVAL

The RWR course-level assessment plan must be approved prior to the collection of data by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness if the course is for a 2015-2016 grant or by the RWR Assessment Committee if it is for a 2016-2017 grant. The Assessment Plan and Report must be submitted in WEAVE and the AVP of Institutional Effectiveness notified when the plan is complete for 2015-2016 grant recipients or the RWR Assessment Committee notified for a 2016-2016 grant recipient so that the review process can begin.The review process will take a minimum of two weeks to complete.
