The aim of this strategy is to strengthen and expand program-level learning outcomes assessment processes and to incorporate them into instructional program review. This year, the focus is on piloting a stackable assessment process, using General Education assessment as a model. Strategy leads will also develop a shared assessment language for ease of communication across the institution.

Charge for 2022-23

The charge for the 2022-23 academic year will include the following elements:

• Complete a pilot study of General Education assessment for incorporation into Learning Outcomes Assessment protocols.
• Develop the stackable assessment process, piloting a specific AS/AA program and a specific AAS program. The process will be summarized in a report detailing key aspects and process milestones, challenges and recommendations for sustainable implementation.
• Develop and finalize shared assessment language, with evidence that new terminology is reflected in all forms and documents.
• Over the next year, develop the faculty governance protocol for facilitating Learning Outcomes Assessment in a stackable model, with development progress reports/summaries due at the end of each academic term.
