Today’s presentation Scope of MLLO Project status, timeline Dialogue about the relationship between Information Services and UW-Green Bay’s select mission MLLO and the student worker
Quick re-cap of MLLO Project 3 faculty, Provost, Asso. Provost, LAS Dean, Dean of Students, Asst. Dean for Campus Life, institutional researcher • Higher Learning Commission’s Academy for the Assessment of Student Learning • Institutional Accreditation • Assessment of student learning • February 2008 kick off • Newly formed steering committee attends a workshop and defines the project : • How do students master the skills associated with UW-Green Bay’s select mission, and how can we help larger numbers of students to achieve higher levels of mastery over those particular skills?
University of Wisconsin–Green BaySelect Mission Statement The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay provides an interdisciplinary, problem-focused educational experience that prepares students to think critically and address complex issues in a multicultural and evolving world.

Scaffolding example: Human Development major Content source: http://www.uwgb.edu/humdev/about/outcomes.asp Presented as an example only
“Macro” level scaffolding is a goal We eventually want students to have access to a wide range of opportunities for each of the five MLLOs at each of the three levels of the scaffold. Where we encounter empty (gasp!) or lightly populated cells in the scaffold, we know we should develop new opportunities. Ideally it should be difficult for students to complete a UW-Green Bay education without exposure to increasingly deep experiences in all of the five MLLOs.
Four stages • Inventory opportunities vis-à-vis objectives • Document assessment practices vis-à-vis the above opportunities • Identify gaps and build new opportunities intentionally • Re-engineer assessment practices to focus on mission level objectives
To whom does MLLO matter? • Faculty - clearly responsible for achieving student learning outcomes • Many student services areas have stated student learning outcomes, many of which relate to the MLLOs • Many people on campus work with students, but the implicit and explicit goals of that work have nothing to do with the MLLOs • Many other people on campus do not work directly with students
Should the MLLO Project expand beyond the assessment of student learning?Do we need a MLOO to go with our MLLO? Mission Level ORGANIZATIONAL Outcomes(if so, is there a better name for it?)
Let’s look at the mission again… The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay provides an interdisciplinary, problem-focused educational experience that prepares students to think critically and address complex issues in a multicultural and evolving world. The University enriches the quality of life for students and the community by embracing the educational value of diversity, promoting environmental sustainability,encouraging engaged citizenship, and serving as an intellectual, cultural, and economic resource.
Group up by office or unit…Kathy and her direct reports in one groupMIS folks in one groupUser Support in one group Network folks and Eric from web development in a groupSplit library into two groups, maybe “public” and “behind scenes”Media folks in one groupTelecommunications and engineering in one group Pick a neat note taker who will also share with the larger group later Complete one copy of the worksheet as a group Please turn the worksheets in for me to share with the MLLO steering committee
MLLO and the student worker • Many positions held by students could enhance their mastery over one or more of the MLLOs • How do/should student employment position descriptions express MLLO expectations?
