Assessment Steering October 21, 2016

Assessment Process:

 Will be scheduling a meeting with Institutional Research on how to best close the loop on assessments requiring their approval. o What do they actually need from us that they aren’t receiving? o Where is the process breaking down?  Rubric Summary Ratings – Dr. Woolfolk was impressed with the great work being done on assessment; positions SAEM well for Middle States reaccreditation process o Dr. Woolfolk will be meeting with Directors from those areas receiving “Facing Significant Challenges” ratings  Program review discussion was tabled until the January meeting – Michele re-sent Kathy’s email with links to what other colleges are doing toward this effort

Subcommittee Update:

Marketing/Communications:  Add Part I, II & III for each assessment conducted to assessment website o Make items password protected so SAEM leadership, Directors, Steering Group & Assessment Team representatives are the only ones allowed access o Begin with Part I’s for 2016-2017  Since some departmental assessments overlap assessment years, create “folders” on webpage for 3 assessment cycles at a time so people can find the appropriate Part I, II & III for their particular assessment (i.e. 2015-2016; 2016-2017; 2017-2018)  “We Heard Your Voice” flyers should be placed on Assessment webpage  The Fall schedule for the “We Heard Your Voice” campaign is as follows: o October: Lifestyles Center o November: Disability Support Services o December: Counseling Services Center
