提议者计划制定一个在社区学院的教学和机构一级建立评价能力的系统，该系统将有可能推广到其他社区学院。 CLIP过程将帮助大学教师制定和应用评估和调查方法，以（a）确定有意义的学生学习成果，（B）评估学生对科学和数学中妇女和少数民族问题的敏感性，以及（c）评估方案和课程，以确定教学实践与学生学习之间的关系。 在机构层面上，管理人员和教师将学习应用学生和程序评估和系统变化的知识，因为他们调整机构的程序审查系统，并确定其他政策，做法和结构，以支持教师的评估工作。

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.
