Assessment and Diversity
Presenter(s): Dr. Amber Martin (Department of Psychology)

It is important for institutions to address the various ways we may systematically exclude some populations of students (e.g. disabled students or students of color) from the assessment process, or in the “closing the loop” process. In this session I will present some preliminary ideas about possible “weak” points in the assessment process that may miss certain groups of students and discuss what these may mean or miss about the general health of the institution’s assessment and interpreting assessment results. I will also invite discussion of these ideas from the group. [Details...]

We've Completed our Assessment; Have We Learned Anything?
Presenter(s): Joel Bloom (Director of Assessment);Chris Scott (School of Education) Kirsten Grant (Chemistry)

In this session, we will discuss several illustrative examples of Schools and Departments at Hunter successfully “closing the loop” – taking what they learn from assessment to improve their programs and inform their decision making. We’ll also have an open conversation on ways that participants in the session might be able to put what they’ve learned from their assessments to good use.  While the term “closing the loop” implies a return to the beginning, it’s better to think in terms of continuous improvement, informed by assessment data.

Assessment Breakfasts At last month’s Assessment Breakfast, we had four presentations on developing or improving meaningful student learning outcomes at the program level. Now it’s time to bring those ideas home to your own department or program! So come with an appetite, and with your program learning outcomes (PLOs) and some thoughts or questions on how you might be able to improve them! [Details...]

Developing and Improving Meaningful Program Learning Outcomes
Presenter(s): Joel Bloom (Director of Assessment), Rob Cowan (Arts and Sciences), Kenneth Mclaughlin(Economics), and Jason Young (Psychology)

When assessing student learning within academic programs, we often have a case of “garbage-in, garbage-out:” even if you assess the learning of students in your program with regard to your stated program learning outcomes (PLOs), you won’t learn anything useful if those PLOs don’t cover the subject matter you really care about. Instead, if PLOs are too vague, too multi-pronged, or deal with either trivia or topics not really valued by your faculty, your assessment will be pointless even if you do everything “right.” In this workshop, the panelists will discuss ways in which we can develop PLOs that will help your department or program gather meaningful information that will help improve your curriculum and pedagogy [Details...]

Values-Based Assessment
Presenter(s): Joel Bloom (Director of Assessment)

With increasing demands on assessment for compliance, assessment professionals have often focused either on either quality issues of validity and reliability, or quantity issues – producing a report for our evidence inventory. Joel Bloom tries to move toward developing assessment models that prioritize substantive importance over either statistical validity or external compliance. It's so easy for assessment practitioners to get bogged down in compliance and data issues -- which programs submitted reports, and whether they did them "right" -- that we often lose sight of why we are here. This impacts our morale and makes it harder to make the case for why anyone should be doing the assessment. [Details...]

Introduction to Assessment
Presenter(s): Joel Bloom (Director of Assessment)

This presentation is designed to provide an introduction to the fundamentals of student learning outcomes assessment for newcomers to that field. This presentation will cover a basic philosophy of values-centered assessment, including the reasons for assessment, its role in higher education, and how to use it to improve curriculum & pedagogy. Topics will include course-level, program-level, and institutional-level assessment, academic program review & accreditation, curriculum mapping, roles and methods of direct & indirect assessment, and the centrality of values and mission to all assessment work.

Learning and Assessment in Administrative and Educational Support Units (Encore)
Presenter(s): Joel Bloom (Assessment), Brian Buckwald (Student Affairs)

Units outside of academic programs are increasingly called upon to assess their practices, with added specific emphasis on those units who support and further student learning and development outcomes.  In this workshop the presenters will help attendees recognize what and where student learning occurs in such units and recommended resources to help support an evidence-based approach and reaccreditation efforts.  The workshop is open to all interested but particularly directed at staff in administrative and educational support units. Please bring your unit mission statements, goals, and – if you have them already – your learning outcomes. [Details...]

Chanin (B126 HW)
Assessment Breakfasts While academic departments and programs at Hunter College have been conducting assessment of student learning outcomes (SLOs) in their undergraduate programs for some time, assessment of learning outcomes within our graduate programs is far less widespread as well as less developed. The co-presenters will begin with some background on assessment of student learning, and will discuss similarities and differences between SLOs – and SLO assessment – between graduate and undergraduate programs. The workshop will include an interactive activity in which participants work together to review their current graduate outcomes and assessment plans or activities, and help identify ways in which they can be enhanced or improved. The workshop is open to all interested but particularly directed at assessment coordinators, chairs, and faculty in departments with graduate programs. [Details...]
