  6. Did the Bologna Process • Have anything to do with increasing degree attainment?

  7. Our Interests • Tuning • Qualifications Frameworks

  8. The 21st Century Student • Many things, including: • First Generation • Low income • Students of color • Adults • But most of all, key to reaching our goals

  9. Are intended to Are not intended to Define in detail what degrees (associate, bachelor’s, master’s) mean Support explicit expectations of student learning and performance Enable alternate curricular paths for students Offer an explicitly operational basis for assessing student performance • Provide the academy with a conceptual, aspirational frame for a cumulative liberal education • Guide student and faculty understanding of essential outcomes for learning • Create the base for a consensus on cross-curricular priorities

  10. Inside the DQP • The emphasis is on high effort, high impact educational practices that involve students with real questions, real challenges, in work with colleagues and communities

  11. Inside Tuning • Discipline specific and general competencies • An ongoing process • Faculty driven

  12. Demystifying ELOs, Tuning and the DQP • ELOs – aspirational – led to the DQP • Tuning – the Process • DQP – What a degree means in terms of learning – transcends the discipline

  13. Redefining Quality • Completion, Learning, Civic Engagement, Employability • A common understanding for students, institutions, and employers of what students know, understand and are able to do with a degree.
