YES! We are undergoing program review this year with WASC accreditation looming for early next year and it has helped us TREMENDOUSLY in reframing our student learning outcomes and goals and potential assessments.
We used to have what we called 7 goals and 40+ outcomes only but we now realize that what we called goals were really the outcomes and the 40+ outcomes were really potential assessments. We now realize that we have two goals broadly categorized as skills and content knowledge and our goals are driven by the blueprint for the future of the discipline. Our assessment were also driven by that.
