(2022-2025)
澳门威尼斯人平台官网's Three-Year Roadmap for 通识教育 Assessment outlines a new vision, strategy, 以及通识教育评估的策略.
通识教育学习成果
Lindenwood's 通识教育 Program is designed to support students' development toward 研究生属性.
Lions are Leaders
Lindenwood adopted the 研究生属性 in fall of 2021 and is currently transitioning from the previous Institutional Learning Outcomes, with implementation of the graduate attributes in Spring 2023. 每个毕业生属性都包含结果, an aligned rubric, 并通过社区实践模型进行评估.
实践社区评估模型
澳门威尼斯人平台官网 uses a Communities of Practice model of assessment for its general education program. To read more about this approach, please visit our blog post: "Harnessing Passion to Improve Learning: Building Communities of Practice to Assessment 通识教育" 作者:Robyne Elder和Bethany Alden-Rivers.

FAQs
For faculty and staff for communities of practice model of assessment.
什么是“实践社区”评估方法?
A community of practice is a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do, 并学习如何在他们定期互动时做得更好. This definition reflects the fundamental social nature of human learning (Source: wegner-trayner.com).
Starting in fall 2019, a Community of Practice for Written Communication formed to assess ILO 3.1, 2020年春天, a separate Community of Practice for Spoken Communication convened to assess ILO 3.2. Since this time a community of practice has formed each semester to assess an ILO which has now transitioned to graduate attributes. 欲了解更多信息，请参阅 三年评估路线图.
Each Community of Practice uses a validated rubric to score a stratified sample of student learning artifacts (assessments), 从Canvas (LMS)中提取. Each assessment is scored by at least two different members of the Community of Practice, and the data from this process are considered for learning improvement opportunities. 具有向毕业生过渡的属性, faculty are encouraged to use signature assignments as their assessments.
How does the shift to a Communities of Practice model affect the former 通识教育 assessment process in Canvas?
Since Fall 2020, faculty were no longer required to score key assessments in Canvas. However, because the Communities of Practices will be using these assessments for their scoring, faculty will still need to include the key assessment in the course. 当我们过渡到毕业生属性, we ask faculty to use a similar process and have a signature assignment aligned to the appropriate rubric to assess the graduate attribute that aligns to their course.
How will the Community of Practice know which assessment to use for their scoring?
Each general education course has continued to align with two ILOs, 然而，当我们过渡到毕业属性, 每门课程将与一个毕业生属性相匹配. 这项工作是通过 毕业生属性调整与评估委员会.
If you have a question about the graduate attribute for your course, please contact the 毕业生属性调整与评估委员会 or assessment@p-l-ove.net.
