  3. NCU provides evidence of student learning and teaching effectiveness that demonstrates it is fulfilling its educational mission. • Evidence of student learning • Evidence of teaching effectiveness • Demonstrates the fulfilling of its educational mission

  4. Evidentiary Sources • NCU Catalogue • Faculty Manual • Academic Affairs Minutes • Program Self-Assessment Survey (PSAS) • Alumni surveyed and published by the Educational Testing Service • 1996 - 2004 and includes all majors

  5. Student Satisfaction Inventory developed by Noel-Levitz • Research comparisons were conducted by using the 2000 and 2004 survey responses • 2002 report lost • Departmental Learning Assessments • Faculty Surveys • Institutional Documents

  6. Component 3a: NCU’s goals for student learning outcomes are clearly stated for each educational program and make effective assessment possible. Three organizational levels: • The University • Academic and Co Curricular Programs • Specific Courses within each program

  7. The University Vision/Mission Statement Biblical Support Goals Curricular Support Goals Seven Strands *Each of these are fully articulated in the University catalog

  8. Academic and Co Curricular Programs • Using the seven strands, each academic program created their end sought statements - printed in the catalog • PSAS - NCU averages fall within the U.S. norms. • Scholarly excellence • Quality of teaching • Program procedures • Internship/Fieldwork/Clinical Experience

  9. Co Curricular Programs New Plan Implemented in 2000 • Eleven Objectives • Character Development takes precedence • Graduation rate increased significantly - 20% to 45.29% • Noel-Levitz - Student Satisfaction Inventory Scales of student centeredness, concern for individuals, and campus life all slightly increased from 2000 to 2004

  10. Departmental goals are assessed in a variety of ways that are appropriate to the departmental vision statement. Course Assessments measure whether or not course objectives are met. Concerns: No single cohesive vision for spiritual, cognitive, and affective development. Not every department has addressed the issue of how these goals are addressed/assessed within the program. Assessment of Outcomes and Goals

  11. Component 3b: NCU values and supports effective teaching. Effective Teaching Evidenced • Faculty Development Funds • Faculty Development/in-service sessions • Faculty Self-evaluation process • Faculty yearly evaluation process with Dean • Student Course Evaluations • Identification as a ‘teaching institute” • Hiring process emphasizes teaching skill

  12. Monthly Dean Luncheons Course Evaluations Academic Affairs Committee Meetings Departmental Mtgs Website for Alumni and Student feedback Faculty Affairs Faculty Open Forums Co Curricular Opportunities for Students and Faculty Department Chair Mentoring Faculty Promotions process NCU Values Effective Teaching:

  13. Supports Effective Teaching: • Faculty access to Minitex & Interlibrary Loans • Faculty access to new technology • Student Success Center • Service Learning Opportunities (Connection Trips) • Increase in Laboratories • Summer Reading Requirements for Faculty • Faculty Retreats • Unused Faculty Development Funds Distributed • Faculty Development In-Service Opportunities

  14. Concerns: • Limited resources for teaching technology • No ongoing opportunities for professional development for either new or seasoned faculty members. • Faculty Development funds increased to $400. (too little - too late) • Limited Departmental Budgets

  15. PSAS Alumni Report Our averages are within the Nation’s norms. New academic facilities. Reconstruction of the Pastoral Ministries Major NCU 2002 - 2003 Graduates Survey Over 50% stated the Chapel was a significant part of their educational experience. Woven Component 3c: NCU creates effective learning environments:

  16. SSI Results show a slight increase in student satisfaction between 2000 and 2004 - except in the area of safety and security - slight decrease. CYL Co Curricular programs addressing commuter needs Student Development programming see an increase in participation in the Antioch Student Lead Committee. Demographic evidence of an increase in student population of students of color. (11% currently)

  17. Component 3d: NCU learning resources support student learning and effective teaching. • This area is somewhat incomplete.
