Rice University:Strengthening our programs Office of Institutional Effectiveness
Office of Institutional Effectiveness Three Areas: • Survey Administration & Analysis • Strengthening Our Programs (SOP) • SACS Accreditation Mission: • Identify outcomes for academic and non-academic units • Align outcomes with institutional and accreditation goals • Help stakeholder use the information to make effective decisions and improve processes
SACS • Who is SACS? • Why do they matter? • What do they expect?
Continuous Improvement • Many external stakeholders are asking for increased accountability • Demonstrate that we are engaged in process of continuous improvement • Systematic approach to CI is relatively new to academic “side of the house” • Reflect not only on what knowledge and skills “we” are imparting, but also on what the students are learning.
