Workshop: Developing Authentic Assessment         

Course ID - CTD0558e

Short Title: Dev. Auth. Assess.   

* Approved CT&D Workshop for Faculty Professional Development Hours for 6 Hrs.

Description:
This course is actually a series of workshop, not one stand-alone workshop. There will be a  4-hour workshop where participants establish basic knowledge of the interrelationship between learning outcomes and assessment and look at promising models already developed by the library discipline.  This will be followed by a full-day, 8-hour workshop where participants will apply their knowledge from session one to develop a targeted assessment for Spring piloting. The final workshop will be a half-day workshop (4hours) where participants share their assessments and results. At this time, faculty will be able to select a program discipline assessment to use college-wide. Between each workshop, participants will have contact with the presenters and fellow participants via a wiki, email, and phone. There will be opportunities for cross collaboration among disciplines programs.  For example Librarians and English teachers might develop a rubric that can be used to measure LO4 using a research paper.

To receive credit for this series of workshops, participants must develop, pilot, provide data, attend workshops and share with colleagues an assessment that measures discipline program learning outcomes. At the last workshop, participants will submit their assessment for peer review to all in attendance with attention paid to demonstrating how the assessment is/isn't useful for measuring what was intended as well as how the assessment can/can't be used to inform program discipline develop. Participants who do all the workshops AND post their final assessment and data on the Angel website developed for this purpose will receive PD credit.
