Learning Outcomes are Key to Assessment

Presenters:
Elizabeth Higgins & Susan Campbell, University of Southern
Maine
Abstract:
Experience one of the vital components of assessment ~ the development
of Student Learning Outcomes. Identifying student learning outcomes
grounds the academic advising program within the teaching and
learning paradigm and, in the short and long haul, helps you
and your institution move toward continued program improvement.
Come
to this working session and learn about the critical role student
learning outcomes play in the assessment process. You will become
familiar with CAS standards, academic advising missions and
the mapping of student learning outcomes across the student
experience. Join your colleagues in the assessment experience
and enjoy the thrill of developing measurable student learning
outcomes as you help your students and advisors create a path
for success!
Supervisors
Can Be Teachers Too!
Wednesday,
March 26; 10:00 am - Noon; $25
Presenter:
Rodney Mondor, University of Southern Maine
Abstract:
As we constantly face the pressure of "doing more for less,"
it is important that we take the time to motivate/appreciate
our staffs. As the supervisor, you are also the teacher, helping
your staff grow, and develop as professionals. Whether your
staff is large or small, it is important that they feel supported,
appreciated and recognized. This interactive session will help
participants see how to: analyze current work environments,
assess staff member performances, motivate individuals and team,
recognize staff and set goals as a team.
Now
is the time to invest in the future of your staff. Take a look
at what will motivate your staff to not only succeed, but excel.
