Welcome to the new "Assessment Agenda" page. You will find all of the assessment information that you will need as a SAC to complete the assessment of program/discipline outcomes for the current year. Remember if you have questions or concerns please contact your assessment mentor.

Career Technical Education (CTE) Disciplines:

The focus of CTE assessment continues to be on the Outcomes for the AAS Degree(s) (or for subject areas with no AAS degree, the dominant certificate).

CTE disciplines submitted a 2 year plan in November 2010, in which the program outcomes are aligned with PCC Core Outcomes and the year(s) each outcome will be assessed is identified. (Some SAC's will be asked to review and revise their plans, which will be due October XX, 2011).

This year the outcomes identified for 2011-2012 will be assessed, and the design, results and path forward reported.

If the SAC assessed and reported on all AAS outcomes last year, an annual report is still required, as assessment is an ongoing activity. The SAC may choose to revisit the same outcomes, or may focus on the outcomes for a different AAS degree or for one or more certificates in the program.

This year, all LDC and DE Disciplines are asked to focus on Self-Reflection, and one other (ideally, one that has not yet been assessed).
