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

提倡者计划开发一个在社区学院的教学和机构两级建设评估能力的系统，该系统将有可能传播到其他社区学院。CLIP程序将帮助大学教员开发和应用评估和调查程序，以(A)确定有意义的学生学习结果，(B)评估学生学习对女性和少数族裔在科学和数学方面的问题的敏感性，以及(C)评估计划和课程，以确定教学实践和学生学习之间的关系。在机构层面，管理人员和教职员工将学习应用学生和项目评估以及系统变化知识，以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。

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.
