For Key Assignment 1 , you will write between 4-10 outcomes for your topic. This is a written assignment, and the #1 assignment due this week should include the following:
Introduction: identity what it is you would like to assess (your classroom, course, area, curriculum, etc.). Think of the skill or competency you would like to assess, such as writing, reading, computation, information literacy, etc. For functions, consider satisfaction levels from key partners, compliance results, audit results, wait times, or other measures for improvement.
What are the outcomes for your project? These are the skills you want your students to learn, or for functions, these are the key performance indicators you want to examine for your department.
Write 4-10 outcomes using Bloom’s taxonomy levels.
Provide benchmarks for your outcomes:
80% of students will write at proficiency levels or higher or;
