Assessment Committee
Senate Report 4/20/12
Progress in Assessment:
 All outcomes gathered from Public Folders and MyCR to be centralized in new assessment
webpage
 Percentage of assessed courses still being determined; all from MyCR have been inventoried,
but assessments from old program review forms still need to be included in inventory
 All information (plans, outcomes, reports) from MyCR have been copied and are being
reorganized and renamed in a uniform manner to be put in an online archive that will be
available through the new assessment webpage; for this reason, it is critical that nothing new be
put on MyCR
 Active vs. inactive courses, degrees, and certificates are being sorted out from various,
sometimes conflicting sources so that the inventory is correct by year
 All assessment reporting (initial and closing the loop) now takes place via software; old forms
are only being permitted for submitting assessment results that has been archived since before
2009, but never submitted
 Drop-in sessions for help continue to be held, but not well attended:
In PS119D (Erik's office): MW 10-11am and 1-3pm; TTh 11am-1pm
In CA 128 (Justine's office): M 4-5pm, Th 3-4pm
In FM 107: F 1-3pm
 Erik and Justine went to the KT site on Wednesday, 4/18 for help time
 Rec 1 group meets Monday and Wednesday 3-4pm; Rec 1 representative also attends the AOC
and met with consultants and potential trustee; Rec 1 met with Standard II also
 Ad hoc committee is looking at how to refine the relationship between the PRC and AC, possibly
considering redefining the role of the AC
 Assessment Summit will be May 15, 16, 17; schedule for this will be announced very soon
 All summer classes must be assessed
To Emphasize:
 It is critical that, in addition to reporting on assessment, we document more meaningful,
intentional conversations about assessment work and results; besides that that is appropriate
for reporting forms, minutes or other summary notes can be submitted to Angelina Hill; there
may be a form for this in the future, but a word document that includes who was present,
outcomes/ assessment discussed, and changes made/ measured works for now
 Assessment Friday activities are continuing; we must show more attendance, and not with the
same audience, to use these as good evidence of district-wide participation in assessment
dialogue
 Erik or I can set up a forum on MyCR for any group that would like to carry out an online
discussion
