Building Faculty and Institutional Evaluation Capacity through Communities of Learning and Integrated Practice (CLIPs) at Community Colleges

提议者计划开发一套系统，在社区大学的教学和机构层面建立评估能力，并有可能推广到其他社区大学。CLIP过程将帮助大学教师开发和应用评估和探究技能，以(a)识别有意义的学生学习成果，(b)评估学生在科学和数学中对妇女和少数民族问题敏感的学习，以及(c)评估项目和课程，以确定教学实践与学生学习之间的关系。在机构层面，管理人员和教师将在调整机构项目审查系统并确定其他政策、实践和结构以支持教师的评估工作时，学习应用学生和项目评估以及系统变更知识。

The proposers plan to develop a system for building evaluation capacity at both the instructional and institutional level of a community college that will have the potential to be disseminated to other community colleges. The CLIP process will help college faculty develop and apply assessment and inquiry sills to (a) identify meaningful student learning outcomes, (b) assess student learning sensitive to issues of women and minorities in science and mathematics, and (c) assess programs and courses to determine the relationship between instructional practices and student learning. At an institutional level, administrators and faculty will learn to apply student and program assessment and system change knowledge as they adjust institutional program review systems and identify other policies, practices and structures to support the evaluative work of the faculty.
