CAS Training

This year the Center for Spirituality and Campus Safety are participating in the self assessment process.

2012-2013 SLO Assessment Project

  • DAT members will work with the Divisional departments to help them gather evidence to assess the following SLO: “Students participate in educational or social events that promote understanding of cultural and human difference."
  • A report summarizing the results of the assessment will be created and shared with the division

Professional development sessions for division

  • DAT brought Dr. Andrew Wall to Speak with the Division on November 1st 

Dr. Wall is a chair of educational leadership and teaches classes in organization and governance of higher education, higher education policy and evaluation in education. Wall also co-authored the book Assessment Reconsidered: Institutional Effectiveness for Student Success (ICSSIA, 2008), with Richard P. Keeling, Ric Underhile, and Gwendolyn J. Dungy, which examines assessment practices in higher education, responding to greater expectations for institutional accountability and increasing assessment capacity to support student learning and success.

Professional development attendance by DAT members (IUPUI, upcoming WNY Roundtable)

    • Megan and Emily attended the Assessment Institute Conference at IUPUI on October 28-30, 2012  DAT will be reviewing Department CAS self-assessments from Student Conduct and Student activities in Spring 2013 and Summer 2013 respectively
    • DAT provided a professional development workshop intended to show the division ways to create a worthwhile assessment based on divisional SLO's and how to create an action plan based on the resultant data. 

    The Institute is designed to introduce participants to innovations in assessment.  Plenary events are presented by national assessment leaders.  Concurrent sessions provide a more in-depth perspective on specific topics.  A poster session will present details about instruments or techniques. Participants will learn about new techniques and proven approaches in a variety of outcomes assessment areas, including general education and major fields, as well as capstone experiences, civic engagement, ePortfolios, first-year experience, faculty development, and student development, each of which has its own track throughout the schedule. Several sessions are designed for beginners and others are for the more experienced practitioner.
