  • Curriculum Development Goals Evaluation
    Curriculum Development Goals Evaluation Goal 1 - All CC course and program offerings will be evaluated, updated, revised, and expanded as appropriate. Evaluation (ongoing): The only major weakness associated with this goal has been the area of program evaluation. Each academic and workforce program was to be reviewed annually using a program assessment instrument that was developed to identify program goals and objectives and establish evaluation methods and criteria for each. These assessments were to be used to assess student performance associated with identified learning outcomes and to drive modifications within programs and courses to improve student performance and success. However, the evaluation process was not fully completed each year as it should have been prior to the submission of our 5th year report. Several factors contributed to this, including periods when there was not adequate follow-up and oversight, submitted assessments were not examined close enough for completeness and accuracy, lack of program coordinator training on assessment techniques and methods, and lack of guidance on the completion of the program assessments. On average about 70% of programs were effective evaluated with the results being used the results being used for updates and revisions during the first six years. The issues present including accuracy, completeness and use of results were noticed while preparing our fifth year report. It was at that time a concerted effort was made to improve program evaluation process. Steps undertaken to date to improve the evaluation of programs and courses include professional development training sessions for coordinators and providing assistance to coordinators on developing and using the evaluations.
