SECCM Assessment Plan - Roger Williams University

Annual Assessment Report
While assessment is a continuous process, it is appropriate to benchmark progress on a periodic basis. For
the purpose of this plan, an annual report will be prepared each fall detailing the assessment activities for
the proceeding academic year. The report will be prepared by the conclusion of the fall semester and
presented to the faculty for review at the Planning and Assessment Meeting conducted in January.
The Annual Assessment Report will consist of an overall assessment of the SECCM as well as an
assessment of each program. Responsibility for writing these reports will rest with the Dean (overall
SECCM assessment) and the Program Coordinators (for their respective programs.)
Each Annual Program Assessment report will include the following sections:
• Executive Summary
• Section 1: Introduction
• Section 2: Analysis of Evaluation Instruments Data
• Section 3: Program Objective Efficacy Assessment
• Section 4: Program Educational Outcome Efficacy Assessment
• Section 5: Assessment of Previously Implemented Program Changes
• Section 6: Discussion of Recommended Program Changes
For Sections 3 and 4, specific data should be used to measure efficacy and appropriately referenced.
These data should relate to the metrics should be those identified in the appropriate section of the
Assessment Plan.
