ACHE 2014

As regional accrediting agencies throughout the United States adopt continuous improvement models, institutions and programs should also seek assessment measures that show continuous progress. Today’s adult learners seek educational opportunities that can be directly applied to their experience, career goals, and/or present work environments. Likewise, adult education programs seek to fully understand the effectiveness and impact of the work through systematic program review and assessment. With increasing pressure from external bodies to provide evidence of student learning, and with the need for learners to exhibit their competency development, the importance of demonstrating student learning becomes evident. In this session, the presenters will share data collection, from a programmatic level, which integrates reflective student videologs, student surveys, and assessment of learner competency development. These data driven synthesis activities not only measure competency development, but also share a strategy for using program review from the student perspective. Using a collaborative and collective means to measure competency development throughout the program, students, and faculty connect to continually improve the learning and educational experience for all.
