Collecting qualitative and quantitative assessment of student learning related to the School’s transcultural perspective and subsequently held several faculty retreats (06/07 academic year) to better define the model and infuse throughout curriculum. Faculty successfully applied for LPP grant to further this work. Prior to Fall 07, faculty planned strategy to provide orientation to the model in Fall of

07 for incoming students. Also, new teaching modules were developed in the

Spring and Summer 07 for piloting in three core classes (HBSE, Policy,

Practice) in both the BASW and MSW programs.

Implemented modifications in “capstone” course and assignment based on indirect assessment (exit survey data and focus group feedback). Collected, analyzed and discussed direct assessment of student performance on projects in Fall 07/Spring 08. Students exceeded benchmark; no additional changes made at this time.

M 4.2 C exceeded benchmark. However, evaluation of student learning by field instructors were somewhat under the benchmark.

Collected direct assessment of student learning through embedded test questions (Fall 06). Student learning exceeded benchmark. However, indirect measure of student mid-point survey below benchmark.

Created matrix to measure student achievement of foundation objectives related to basic research knowledge and skills; collected data from multiple sections of foundation research class.

Please report assessment activities completed in the fall 2007 semester (collect data, analyze data, discuss results among faculty, or implement changes. This table should match planned activities for fall
