Why is assessment important? • To guide our program, course and student service development in a systematic way • To determine what our students have learned • To determine what our students have not learned • To improve our students’ learning
Assessment at ECC: Past • General Education outcomes revised • Program-level outcomes established • Some course-level outcomes established • Some program-level outcomes measured for every program • Some course-level outcomes measured for at least one course in each program
Assessment at ECC: Present • Programs should have completed the Annual Summary Report of Program/Services, available at the assessment committee website via e-net • Every program should have completed an Annual Summary Report of Course for at least one course
Three Years of Data • General Education outcome data have been collected for the past three years in the areas of: Reading, Writing (essay & CAAP), Quantitative Skills (Math & Science), Critical Thinking (CCTST), Information & Technological Literacy and Global Awareness • Today we will focus on Reading, Writing and Quantitative Skills data.
Assessment at ECC: Future • It is time to “close the loop” on General Education assessment and devise strategies to improve • The assessment committee will be forming taskforces in the areas of reading, writing and quantitative skills first, other areas will follow. • We need YOU to assist us in this endeavor! • Expect to see focus groups and other activities to bring the campus together to tackle these issues
