1. Windward Community College A Review of Principles and Institutional Organization for Assessment

2. Windward Community College Assessment Principles  Assessment is conducted with the student at the center of the process.  The assessment process reflects our commitment to student learning.  Assessment is designed to promote collegiality and conversation among and within units.  Each member of this institution has a professional responsibility to participate in the ongoing assessment process to ensure our mission statement is met.  Instructional Unit (Academic Department) assessment will be conducted by the unit; i.e., instructional units will spearhead the assessment of courses within their purview.

3. Windward Community College Assessment Principles  Eventually all courses will be assessed for alignment to instructional unit outcomes.  All support units (non-instructional) will carry out the assessment process for their individual units.  Lecturers and new hires will be informed of the assessment process and their role in this process.  Personnel decisions will not be based on individual assessment data.  The IEC facilitates this assessment process in the institution and stores the assessment reports of the units/programs.

16. Aligning Student Learning Outcomes  Instructional units (academic departments) will use a rubric to identify courses that align to departmental goals.  Departmental goals may be revised if not related to student learning outcomes.  Each course offered this semester will be included in the process.  Departmental representatives on the IEC will support their departments’ activities.  Upon completion of the alignment process, each department will complete a short summary of the results.  Certificate programs will begin the assessment process.  Units/programs that have not completed the process started in prior semesters will continue with assessment efforts.
