  1. IT State Conference UpdateEau Claire, March 1, 2012 Hal Zenisek WIDS Learning Design System WTCS Foundation, Waunakee, WI

  2. Today’s Topics… Overview Technical Skill Attainment Review WTCS process and procedures Update on Business & IT division TSA Panel discussion on TSA assessment Prepare for next steps for IT TSAs Review resources available Answer questions and hear concerns

  3. Carl Perkins IV Technical Skills Attainment An assessment that objectively measures a student's attainment of industry recognized skills.

  4. System Level Guiding Principles • The “System” has been assessing student performance for 100 years • TSA formalizes the assessment and creates a common and shared reporting process • Used to meet the federal Carl D Perkins Grant 2006 reporting requirement • At some point, a college’s funding status could be effected by their engagement in TSA reporting

  5. Guiding Principles (cont.) • Minimally, each aid code 10, 31, 32 and 50 program will use “course completion” as their measure of students’ Technical Skill Attainment • this has been done for many years • Over time the number of programs that move to using WTCS Assessment (TSA) or a 3rd Party assessment should increase • Demonstrate a shift to measuring evidence of direct student learning with WTCS approved assessment

  6. WTCS Assessment External Assessment *3rd party assessment is hard to implement; a limited # of programs will use this 2008-2013 **Some programs will continue to use Course Completion, and never move to another type of assessment

  7. WTCS Three Phase Approach

  8. Phase I Recap • The Goal is to identify: • Common Program Outcomes to be assessed on a summative basis • validated by business & industry • Common Type of Assessment that will be used • WTCS Assessment and/or 3rdParty • Common Assessment Criteria (i.e., rubric) • Artifacts used for assessment at colleges • For programs at more than 1 college: • Work is done collaboratively with all colleges holding State Board Program Approval • For Unique programs: • Work is done by the college holding State Board Program Approval

  9. Program Outcomes are Valid

  10. Sample

  11. Program Outcomes Program Outcomes Related rating criteria Related rating criteria

  12. Program Outcomes Threaded

  13. Phase I Approval Request Form Posted on WTCS CurriculumBank when the project is complete Sent to the State Office by the Lead district (in collaboration w/WIDS) Reviewed for approval by the WTCS Education Director and Assoc. Vice President

  14. Phase I: Planning ISA reps for all participating colleges notified by WTCS of Phase I approval (via letter) “Invited" to move to phase II Documents moved on WTCS curriculum bank from WIP to TSA Assessment.

  15. Phase II Recap *Note: Identification of Assessment Strategy is applicable for WTCS Assessment Type only. The Assessment Strategy for 3rd Party is identified by the 3rd party. • Planning for the use of common program outcomes, assessment criteria & assessment type developed under phase I • Each college creates a TSA Local Implementation Plan • Link between Program Outcomes, Program Curriculum & Assessment Criteria • Assessment strategy* that will be done • portfolio, skill demonstration, capstone course project, licensure exam … • mechanism to complete the assessment • Who does it • Faculty, an Assessment Committee, etc. • When it happens • 1st semester, throughout the program, end of program, etc. • How it happens • Part of an existing course, a stand alone “course”, etc. • The exact process to get student level assessment data (i.e., passed, not passed, not assessed) into the college’s course management system. • Phase 2 plan submitting to WTCS & approved

  16. Phase II: Implementation Organized by Career Clusters Phase 1 complete Final documents now available under the TSA Assessment tab on CurriculumBank

  17. Phase II: Implementation Download Phase II Documents

  18. Phase II: Implementation Each College Completes TSA Phase II Request Form as applicable to their own district (use the Completion Guide to help you) View Samples

  19. Phase II: Implementation Your College’s Plan for Implementing the TSA

  20. Phase II Plan Show how the program outcomes link to the courses in your program Complete the Analyzer report in WIDS or provide documentation referencing the exit learning outcomes with the program courses

  21. WIDS Analyzer Report Courses Program Outcomes

  22. Phase II Plan What’s your strategy? Each college may define its own How will you use the rubric?

  23. Assessment Strategies • Portfolio • Capstone • Internship Rubric with program outcomes and criteria • Reflective paper in course 10-150-1xx • Outcomes/performance standards with each formative assessment • Align outcomes assessment to external standards

  24. Phase II: Implementation • Colleges complete the Phase II form • Colleges submit the form through programs@wtcsystem.edu as a SINGLE DOCUMENT (attach all files) • Routed thru the WTCS approval process • Review • Complete Checklist • Make Recommendation

  25. Phase III Recap • With approved Phase II assessment • Colleges begin reporting student data • 1 = Assessed, passed • 2= Assessed, not passed • 9= Not assessed • Client Guide 3.1.10

  26. TSA Reporting Once Phase II is approved by the state the program will begin reporting TSA on all program students In the Phase II documentation you will identify when you will start the TSA, until then all students will be reported as “not assessed” or 9 in client reporting Projected dates are estimates, if colleges have data to report earlier, they can

  27. TSA Current Status-Next Steps • 69 programs have received Phase I approval • Duplicated count = 421 programs • 10 programs have received Phase II approval • 2012 Goals: • Significantly increase the number of programs achieving Phase II approval • Continue to support programs entering Phase I

  28. Business & IT Division Phase I Complete • Business Management • Accounting • Paralegal • Marketing • Administrative Professional • Office Assistant • IT-CSS & IT-NS (in process)

  37. IT Phase 1 Questions & Comments

  38. IT Related TSA Opportunities • IT-Computer Support Specialist (10-154-3 ) • Work on Phase 2 local plans • IT-Network Specialist (10-150-2) • Work on Phase 2 local plans • Identify other 150, 152, 154 associate degrees • Consider Phase 1 planning efforts • Identify other IT 1- and 2-year diploma programs • Consider Phase 1 planning • 25+ IT state-approved programs (Phase 1)

  39. Future TSA Strategies • Coordinate plans with Ed Director • Adapt the phase 1 process for your college and/or other colleges with the same IT program • IT-Security (BTC and MILW)? • IT-Network Systems Administration (WTC and FVTC)? Others? • Checklists for Phase 1 and Phase 2 • WIDS staff can help
