Learning Outcomes Assessment Project Applications due November 21

The Office of Institutional Assessment and Data Management (IADM), in collaboration with the Learning Outcomes Assessment Steering Committee, will be sponsoring 3-5 faculty-led projects during the 2018-2019 academic year. The projects will focus on “closing the loop” with assessment; teams of faculty will “review, assess, reflect and act” based on student learning outcomes for one course or series of courses.

Each project will be led by one faculty member, with the expectation that at least one additional faculty member (full- or part-time) will participate in the project. The maximum amount available for each project is $2,000. Applications are due November 21, 2018 (deadline extended).

If you have questions about the outcomes assessment project or training session, please contact Bayta Maring (bmaring@shoreline.edu, 206-546-6949).

Ad hoc accreditation visit October 30 – 31

Shoreline will be hosting an evaluator from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) October 30 – 31. The purpose of the ad hoc visit is to review Shoreline’s work related to four recommendations remaining from the College’s last comprehensive self-study in 2012. Briefly, those four recommendations are:

#1)  Alignment of mission, core themes, and current institutional initiatives and financial emphases
#2)  Full implementation of assessment processes
#3)  Update of policies and procedures
#4)  Revision of core theme indicators

The evaluator has requested interviews with faculty and staff, and invitations to those sessions were sent last week.

If you have questions about the ad hoc accreditation visit, please contact Bayta Maring (bmaring@shoreline.edu, 206-546-6949), Shoreline’s Accreditation Liaison Officer (ALO).
