MAY 1, 2014 THE LOOK AND FEEL OF TASKSTREAM

PERCEPTION OF ASSESSMENT: COMPLIANCE Accreditation Write Outcomes Identify Assessments Gather Results PackageResults SubmitReports

STUDENTS Name Expectations for Learning Communicate Expectations to Students Collect Student Work Determine Extent of Learning Strategize New Student Success Plans IDEAL ASSESSMENT: INTENTIONALLY FOCUSED ON STUDENTS

HOW CAN TASKSTREAM HELP US GET THERE? Provide repository for outcomes assessment data… AND Create/track action plans to improve student success Manage assessment cycles at course, program and institutional levels Simplify reporting Seamlessly integrate large volumes of assessment data from all divisions (college-wide) for program review, accreditation and improvement

General Access Faculty are “affiliated” with course/program workspace Course assessment workspaces - THEN vs NOW… a comparison of SLOJet and Taskstream - Cycle extension to improve assessment - Mapping capability Program assessment workspaces - Assessment plan cycle and specifics - Mapping capability - Curriculum maps TOUR OF MIRAMAR TASKSTREAM

GENERAL ACCESS FACULTY ACCOUNTS AND AFFILIATION

Upon login, each faculty will access a welcome page with assigned workspaces

Program workspaces

Course workspaces

LEARNING OUTCOMES, ASSESSMENT PLANS, ACTION PLANS AND ALIGNMENT MAPPING OF OUTCOMES COURSE ASSESSMENT WORKSPACES

COURSE ASSESSMENT: THEN… Course assessment using SLOJet -Section data individually entered in SLOJet -Course assessment occurred every semester -Faculty Course Leads perform analysis of all section data and enter analysis in SLOJet -Repeat cycle

Each section instructor would enter data each semester

SLO statements; outcome data (% meeting standard)

Results: section by section list of data; Faculty Course Leads need to access and analyze

Summary of analyses; repeat cycle

COURSE ASSESSMENT: THEN… AND NOW Course assessment using Taskstream -Course assessment occurs during a 3 year cycle (current cycle ends in Spring 2015) - Aggregate course outcome data entered into Taskstream by Faculty Course Leads - Action plans are identified to improve student learning - Status reports provided on action plans - Direct mapping to program level and institutional level outcomes

Standing requirement is Course Outcomes (can be edited at any time)

Course outcomes can be mapped to program and new institutional outcomes

Assessment cycle has 4 sections

“Assessment plan” section includes measures, targets, timeline and responsible personnel

Also contains space to attach documents or links

“Assessment Findings” section includes aggregated assessment data and target achievement

Includes space to attach evidence

“Action plan” section includes improvement plans, timeline, personnel, budget requests and priority

“Status report” section includes updates on action plan, budget, and next steps

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR US? Three-year cycle to complete course assessment (current cycle ends Spring 2015) Faculty “course leads” need to be in place for every course Fall 2014 course data entry can be any aggregated data accumulated between Spring 2013 and Fall 2014 (can use data previously entered in SLOJet, new data, etc.)

PROGRAM ASSESSMENT WORKSPACES LEARNING OUTCOMES, ASSESSMENT PLANS, ACTION PLANS, AND CURRICULUM MAPS

PROGRAM ASSESSMENT: THEN… AND NOW THEN -Program outcomes listed in catalog -Outcomes may or may not address degrees/certificates -No assessment plan NOW -Program outcomes revised to address degrees/certificates -Assessment plan developed -Program outcome assessment by Spring 2015

Program assessment workspace has 3 Standing Requirements

Program outcomes apply to degrees/certificates in each program

Program outcomes can be mapped to new institutional outcomes

New capability… curriculum maps!

CURRICULUM MAPS Map provides program- wide visual of how courses support program outcomes

Assessment cycle contains 4 sections (same for courses)

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR US? Three-year cycle to complete program assessment (current cycle ends Spring 2015) Program outcomes and assessment plans can be recorded for all degrees/certificates in a program Curriculum maps can provide visual of how courses support a program (i.e. degree/certificate) Program assessment plans must be in Taskstream by end of Fall 2014.

DEFINITION OF “PROGRAM” FOR OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES

WHAT IS MEANT BY “PROGRAM” IN REGARDS TO ASSESSMENT? Miramar… defines program as a field of study that includes at least one award and at least one subject area. Title V … defines program as “an organized sequence of courses leading to a defined objective, a degree, a certificate, a diploma, a license or transfer” ACCJC… asks that we have outcomes assessment for all programs, degrees and certificates

WHAT IS MEANT BY “PROGRAM” IN ASSESSMENT? Miramar Program Art Degrees/certificates (we call them“awards”; Title V calls them “programs”) AA in Art/Visual Studies AA in Combined Drawing/Painting AA in Craft Skills AS/CA in Graphics AA in Studio Arts

DESIGNING PROGRAM OUTCOMES Degrees and certificates AA in Art/Visual Studies AA in Combined Drawing/Painting AA in Craft Skills AS/CA in Graphics AA in Studio Arts Goals and Purpose Mission statement? What will a student who completes this degree/cert be able to do? What concepts or skills run throughout all or many of the degree/cert’s courses? What skills or knowledge will students who complete the degree/cert have? What will students gain from completing this degree/cert?
