16. Assessing Learning Outcomes What is assessment of Student Learning Outcomes? • Formalized processes to collect and analyze learning outcome data that will be evaluated to derive meaning and purposeful use of the data for learning enhancement. • Assessment is meaningless unless evaluation occurs.

17. Assessing Learning Outcomes Student Learning outcomes define: A particular level of knowledge, skill and abilities that a student has attained at the end (or as a result) of his/her engagement in particular set of educational experiences.

18. Assessing Learning Outcomes This, then, begs the questions: • How to make evaluation meaningful? • What outcome data should be assessed and evaluated?

19. Adult Education Performance Measures • What’s are target and where is our benchmark? • Federal/State Adult Education Performance Measures • Student’s Domain of Significance (DOS)

20. Adult Education Assessments • Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) • TABE Complete Language Assessment System—English (CLAS-E) • Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment Systems (CASAS) • Basic English Skills Test (BEST) • BEST Oral • BEST Literacy

21. Reflection • Does assessment occur on a regular, purposeful basis? • How are assessment findings used for planning and decision making? • How are assessment findings used to improve teaching effectiveness and student learning? • How often is student data entered into TEAMS (Texas Educating Adults Management System)?

22. Key TEAMS Reports • Educational Gains and Attendance for Pre- and Post tested Participants (Table IV and IVB Combined) • Participant Roster • Participant Roster With Latest Assessments • Performance Reports

23. National Reporting System (NRS) • The National Reporting System for Adult Education (NRS) is an outcome-based reporting system for the State-administered, federally funded adult education program. Developed by the U.S. Department of Education’s Division of Adult Education and Literacy (DAEL), the NRS continues a cooperative process through which State adult education directors and DAEL manage a reporting system that demonstrates learner outcomes for adult education. • NRS website: http://www.nrsweb.org/

24. Assessing Learning Outcomes Assessment for improvement vs. accountability • Banta”…If we undertake assessment just for the purpose of demonstrating accountability, we waste our time. We must do assessment in a way that we are getting information that faculty can actually use to improve what they’re doing.”
