Assessment is meaningful when we use the data to inform our work and improve our programs or services.
- Middle Childhood Education BSE & Integrated Mathematics BSE shared assessment data with faculty to promote collaborative review and then refined the teacher preparation K-STEP rubric for clarity and consistency; also gathered additional K-STEP completion data to inform future improvements.
- Nursing BSN faculty identified varying campus performance on licensure test pass rates (NCLEX), and recommended to enhance campus-specific review courses and integrate core coursework with nursing practice to better align curriculum with licensure exam requirements.
- Bachelor & Master of Business Administration assess traditional in-person and online programs separately, resulting in actions such as revising assessment measures to encourage student engagement in the process and ensure alignment across the two modalities.
- Art Ed BFA & Studio Art BFA programs proposed revisions to program learning outcome (PLO) measurements and curriculum to better capture and address student learning and artistic development.
Using University Survey data
University-level assessment data are shared with the ACAA, deans, directors, chairs, and other leadership who often request to have more detailed information about their particular students or a group of specific interest to implement change. For example, National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) results have been used for additional insight when developing strategic plans. Several University divisions leverage NSSE data to inform planning including general education updates, grant submissions and metrics for the unit, while university leadership uses the insights to guide decisions and implement change.
