EDD 7404 - Institutional Assessment in the Community College Environment

An exploration of the criteria, indicators and processes by which institutions define and evaluate their effectiveness and use data to improve the quality of programs and services. Special emphasis is placed on the assessment of student learning outcomes, measuring student success (e.g., progress through developmental courses, persistence, transfer and graduation), program evaluations, and the role of regional accreditation. Ways in which community college leaders can engage in a broad array of organizational and administrative activities to build cultures of evidence are also examined.
