Workshop: Student Affairs Outcomes Based Assessment I

Course ID - CTD0538 

Short Title: Outcome Assessment I    

Description:
Three part webinar workshop designed to facilitate your campus team’s learning as you design programmatic assessment plans. The ultimate intention of this workshop is for you and your institutional team to walk away from the 3-part workshop with a refined assessment plan and/or report, depending on where you are in your assessment process. The webinars are designed to be highly interactive with activities that you complete and share with colleagues going through the workshop.

Session I will address the history and importance of outcomes-based assessment and components of an outcomes-based assessment plan and report and include activities such as:

• Drafting a conceptual framework for assessment

• Identifying a common language for OBA

• Drafting a template for OBA

• Drafting mission/purpose, goals, and outcomes

• Self-critiquing of outcomes

• Evaluating at least two other sets of peer outcomes

Note about activity: Participants will be able to post their completed activities on a website and view the activities of the other participants. A criteria check list will be provided so that participants can self-evaluate their learning and review the work of their peers. Although the speaker will not be able to provide individual feedback, she will review all completed activities and base the following session’s content on the progress/learning that is reflected in the activities.
