COURSE SEARCH

Our institution's goal is to build narratives demonstrating student learning and competency attainment so that we can ensure (for accreditation purposes and beyond) the quality of programs, enhance our strengths, and improve our practices in ways that meet or exceed educational quality. To capture an inclusive experience and improve learning collectively, we must incorporate the contributions provided by the Division of Student Services and Enrollment Management.

We must document the significance, value, and contributions student services make toward the institution’s mission and goals. In order to accomplish this, building a culture of evidence that demonstrates the learning taking place within the experiences provided becomes a significant aspect of accomplishing better practices to deepen, adjust, and correct if needed, the student learning experience. We do this by examining the work being done, determining the effectiveness of the work, and looking at the impact. (Addition) Critical questions to answer by way of evidence:

  • Do the spaces we create for students impact them in ways that contribute to their success?
  • What are students learning (and does the learning align with learning outcomes, division competencies, and the institution's mission/strategic objectives?
