Thanksgiving Holiday

For those of you who missed the last full group meeting, we will be starting up in Spring 2009! There will be one more Executive Board meeting slated for Dec. 4. Make sure to keep abreast of what the committee is doing by reading through past committee minutes.

Spring 2009 brings some new focus for the committee. The committee will share the results from Fall 2008 Student Learning Project, which was to access critical thinking in the classroom. Committee will share the results and provide a forum to discuss what needs to be done with the data.

Also, the focus will shift to completing Department Assessment Plans. A template will be created for those departments unclear on what's expected of them. The committee asks that all members bring a copy of their department mission statement and standardized Student Learning Outcomes for their all the classes offered by their department. Please make sure to have these ready for the first full group meeting planned for January 22, 2009 meeting.

Great work team! Have a good holiday, and we'll see everyone in the New Year.
