7 Steps to Assessment A step by step approach to developing an assessment program using the Alverno assessment model.
Agenda • Background • Selecting a Teaching/Learning Situation (Mission) • Context • Outcomes/Objectives • Generic Criteria • Program applications • Designing Assessments and judging performance • Feedback
Background • The details from other modules • Application of information • Alverno
Step 1:Mission/Vision • Define who you are and what you hope to achieve.
Mission/Vision • What do we want to do? • Who will be served? • How? • Where do we expect to be in five years? • Ten?
STEP 2: Context • Who are the students? • What level? • What types of programs? • What types of classes?
Context • Identifying needs and responses
Step 3a: Objectives • What specific objectives—goals-- will allow you to meet your mission?
Step 3b: Outcomes • Indicate what the desired outcome will be for each of the objectives you developed
Outcomes • Noting other components of outcomes
Outcomes • Attention to the details
Step 4: Generic Criteria • Exactly what do you want the program to provide? • What indicators (outcomes) show what has happened? Focus on more specific detail
Generic Criteria • Plugging students into programs and defining program outcomes
Step 5: ProgrammaticApplications • Creating a learning experience—stimulus, response, practice
ProgrammaticApplications • Creating a learning experience—stimulus, response, practice
Step 6a: Designing Assessments • Exactly how will you assess each of the outcomes, objectives and applications?
Designing Assessments • Variables and spurious indicators • Specific Criteria
Step 6b: JudgingPerformance • Exactly how will you assess?
JudgingPerformance • All results have some value
Step 7: Feedback andReports • Provision for feedback • To whom will you report? • Provision for improvement • How will you use the feedback? • Evaluation of the assessment • Did the instrument work? • Did the instrument give an accurate view of what you hoped to assess? • How can it be made better? • How can it help you
Feedback andReports • There is value in knowing you are doing a good job.
