  1. Creating, Collaborating and Implementing Authentic Assessments in Teaching Working post-Immersion….. LSTA Information Literacy Grant February 24, 2006 Highline

  2. Today’s Agenda – shaped by the Grant • Collaborating and implementing authentic assessments with faculty • Spending our money • Sharing what we do • Self-assessing our Information Literacy programs

  3. How are we working with Assessment today? • Assessment can happen at many levels – • System (CTC’s or WA higher education) • Institutional (Highline) • Program (Library) • Student (observation, behavior, performance) • Today’s focus is on assessment of student learning • What evidence will we have of what students can do as a result of our collaboration with faculty and our teaching?

  4. From Immersion about Authentic Assessment….. • The “Five Questions” • What do you want the student to be able to do? • What does the student need to know? • What’s the learning activity? • How will the student demonstrate the learning? • How will I know the student has done this well? • To close the assessment loop, we need to learn from the evidence and incorporate that into continuous improvement.

  5. Creating the culture of evidence • We can’t start by measuring everything • What can we begin to know and share about our students’ abilities? • How do we best share this vision of integrated information literacy with faculty?

  6. Activity: Assessment Tools- Building our repertoire of collaboration possibilities • Share the tool you brought with the colleagues at your table • In small groups, pick a tool that has been shared. Continue to develop this tool so that it relates to all of the “Five Questions”. (someone please take notes) • How would you work with a faculty member to build in the assessment and determine the criteria? • What will the assessment be? How are the students going to demonstrate their ability to you and the instructor? These will be posted on our “wiki”

  7. Break • 10 minute break • Move towards sitting with your schools

  8. Collaboration – What could it look like? • According to the grant, we will incorporate authentic assessments in at least three academic and professional/technical departments. (Can we shoot for four?) • To do this, we need to: • Collaborate with faculty to design integrated authentic assessments • Implement and assess (instruction and student performance) • Debrief our findings (learning from the evidence, continuous improvement)

  9. Activity:To accomplish the three things below in 3-4 courses • Collaborate with faculty to design integrated authentic assessments • Implement and assess • Debrief our findings Create a model: • How would you approach faculty, work with faculty and spend $1000 (31 faculty hours) for materials or stipends?

  10. Do you need planning time or brainstorming time? • Option A – Give me this time with my school to plan – we know what we’d want to do…..out of our way! • Option B – Where would I start? Who can I brainstorm with to plan… • a general workshop with faculty in order to find collaboration partners • working one-on-one with faculty • a workshop with specific faculty I want to work with

  11. Librarians who Lunch • With your lunch mates, what are two strategies for recruiting faculty you haven’t worked with before? (or asking faculty you know to work with you in a different way?) • Go sit with Karen Michaelsen (Seattle Central) if you want to hear about her professional leave project, “Integrating Information Literacy into the College Curriculum”

  12. Activity: What do we want to know about our assessment efforts? • How do we want to report on Assessment activities? What do we want to know in common? • Look at this “draft” – what would you • Add • Delete • Modify • Could you use this with faculty?

  13. Library Self-Assessment – Characteristics of Programs of Information Literacy that Illustrate Best Practice • From the Grant, “pre and post assessments of information literacy programs using ACRL’s Best Practices as the rubric”. • Would three schools volunteer to complete this before sending out to everyone?

  14. Discussion Trifecta: Technology: How can we harness technology to enable this work? • Wiki – how can we make it useful? • SNAP or other survey tools – what do our IR people have to help us? • Tutorials? Games? IL and the Rising Junior • ICCL proposed learning outcomes • How can the 2 and 4 years work together on information literacy? Dissemination and Sharing of Project Results • Interested in helping share our experiences/success?

  15. Good work……. Go forth and assess!!!!
