Best Practices

• Review previous outcomes for specificity, relevancy, reliability, measurability, and reasonability

• Consider how these outcomes support your program review and student learning outcomes assessment: what do the data tell you?

• Consider what your department’s resource needs are in terms of the 3 categories: ongoing department needs, next fiscal year, long term planning

• Plan your process for dialogue – input and feedback

Special Attention:

Remember ~ Outcomes cannot be marked “completed” or “no longer applicable” if resources continue to be requested for that outcome.

The Starting Line

https://emp.arc.losrios.edu/

Reminder: VTEA/Perkins outcomes are not a separate category of outcomes

The Finish Line

Parting Reminders

• Dialogue!!! • Include your faculty and classified in your

planning• Remember the comment section
