Project Status Reports

Program Outcomes and Assessment Group (POAG)

The work of the team was completed with the hiring of the Director for Program Review and Outcomes Assessment in the Fall of ‘05. Building on previous outcomes assessment work at the College, a Guide for Developing and Implementing a Program Outcomes Assessment Plan was developed and published in the Fall of 2005.

To assist with and facilitate work on program reviews and outcomes assessment plans, a new position entitled Director of Academic Program Review and Assessment was created and filled in August of 2005. During the 2005-2006 academic year, five degree programs and one certificate program completed program reviews and developed learning outcomes. Four other programs identified assessments already in place with respect to their outcomes. Work on identifying and/or developing assessments as well as implementing these for selected outcomes is scheduled to proceed in the 2006-2007 academic year.
