mapping & assessment
A review of the program “map” helps faculty make sure that the
program is coherent and current
.
purpose:
●
for faculty to have a focused discussion on curriculum to ensure a clear path to
the program learning goals
●
for faculty to review and reflect on the outcomes
red flags:
●
courses, inside and outside your discipline, whose outcomes have changed
●
required or elective courses that don’t support any program outcomes
●
program outcomes that aren’t supported by any required or elective courses
●
outcomes, course or program, you no longer like / no longer meet student needs
mapping & assessment
a review of the ILO “map” gives us an interdisciplinary picture of
how students are doing in the core competencies outlined in the
institutional outcomes.
purpose:
●
to find places / competencies where faculty can collaborate
●
for faculty to discuss and reflect on shared learning goals
●
for discipline faculty to review and reflect on their role in GE or institutional
outcomes
red flags:
●
courses that do not appear to support any of the ILOs
●
courses included in the GE transfer pattern that do not support the GE outcomes
