Assessment summary of progress
Summary progress on the assessment of student learning outcomes
According to Angelo and Cross (1993), assessment is an approach designed to help teachers find out what students are learning in the classroom and how well they are learning it. For quality assessment to take place, you must have faculty involvement. I am pleased to say that not only does the SLS have faculty involvement but faculty buy-in. Due to early support and encouragement from our Director, a culture of assessment has been created. This report shows us that there is much work to be done but some success has been achieved. Conversely, we need to work toward a more balanced approach to assessment that includes graded and nongraded assignments. The assessment data tells us that our students understand the concepts being assessed however, we are not able to say how well our students are learning all eight of the SLOs. Assessment as a process is ongoing and our journey continues.

It sounded like an excellent opportunity to get involved with the school and University at-large. Click here to read more about this person.
