Culture of Evidence
More Soon
At the course level, each academic course has a three year assessment plan that identifies the rotation for which it will be assessed. The assessment results are submitted by faculty who teach the course, including full-time, part-time, and concurrent course faculty in the high schools. This allows for a manageable, cyclical rotation where course data is being submitted every semester as evidence. Division chairs use the collected course data to engage in conversations with faculty of the program about curriculum and program related topics.
