Year 1 - Institutional Engagement (Linn-Benton Community College)
Institutional Objectives - Outcome to be achieved
A: Assemble a team of faculty, staff, and administrators who are interested in student learning outcomes.
B: Begin discussions on mapping current outcomes to the DQP in General Education courses, beginning with Arts & Letters.
C:
Linkages - Related institutional initiatives/projects
A: This work is closely related to both our General Education outcomes assessment work, and an institutional re-design that we are embarking on this year. The re-design is about organizing the college around some of our known completion problems. One of these areas addresses the transfer-bound, college-ready population. One key goal of this group’s work is to scaffold program and general education curricula so that students build skills over time. The mapping tool is one way in which we will do this work. The focus on the DQP on the level of skill attained is going to be important, although we’ll be breaking down the levels within the Associate’s degree.
This work also relates to Achieving the Dream (AtD), which we are beginning this year. We have not yet identified what our AtD initiatives will be, although DQP is not one of them. However, one initiative that we are evaluating using the tools of AtD that is related to the DQP work is evaluating the appropriateness of our existing pre-requisites.
B: See (A). In addition, this program work is related to program-level outcomes assessment work.
C:
Processes - How outcome will be achieved
A: Because of the college-level reorganization discussed above, it has made sense to wait to assemble our full DQP team until we know which faculty will be engaged with which college initiative. We have tentative assignments made now, which will be formalized at the beginning of Winter term.
B: One member of the General Education team will be ready to engage in the mapping work this Winter, and so we will start by meeting as a small team for the initial mapping, and taking this mapping to the faculty teaching in that Gen Ed category for review.
C:
Progression - Milestones and dates to achievement
A: • Feb. 2013: DQP team assembled.
• Feb. 2013: Initial mapping of Arts & Letters (AAOT) outcomes onto the DQP.

Responsibility - Lead person / office
A: This work will be led by Katie Winder, Dean of Liberal Arts, Social Systems, and Human Performance, who facilitates the General Education assessment team as well as the Transfer Educational Re-design Group. There will be another lead, but that is being determined at present due to personnel shifts.
