CTLAT 2011-12 Planning Survey (Closes Tuesday Morning)
The CTLAT survey closes tomorrow morning. To date, a little more than 20 people have completed the CTLAT survey. This is your opportunity to indicate which sessions should be repeated for the 2011-12 academic year. In addition, CTLAT is soliciting ideas for new workshops.


NSSE Webinar (Tuesday, November 8, 2pm, DUICEF 207)
The most commonly reported use of NSSE results is assessment for accreditation. NSSE's Accreditation Toolkits, designed for all regional and several specialized associations, articulate the requirements and standards for each accreditor with NSSE process and items. In this session we'll show how NSSE items map to accreditation standards, discuss the potential for using NSSE data in institutional self-studies and quality improvement plans, and explore ways colleges and universities have used their results in accreditation and to measure and monitor institutional effectiveness. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss challenges and approaches to maximizing the use of NSSE results for accreditation.


Fall 2011 Student Evaluation of Faculty (November 14-18)
Only 3 faculty responded to the request for student training. Therefore, we cancelled the session and will try again in the spring semester. Between November 14-18, faculty are expected to administer the survey and encourage students to offer written feedback. It is imperative that faculty open the packets and complete the Instructor Cover Sheet (ICS) before doing anything else.


Student Assessment Schedule
Last week, my office emailed students a list of assessments that will occur during their matriculation at Dillard University. See the attachment.


Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA)
Last week, I mistakenly omitted Dr. Marylin Mell. Thank you, Dr. Mell, for your help and support!


Institutional Effectiveness Reports (Due December 12-13)
Each academic and administrative unit is expected to submit an institutional effectiveness report by the deadline. We are currently trying to finalize the 2009-10 and 2010-11 reports. Please contact me immediately if you have not yet scheduled a working session. The due date applies to the 2009-10, 2010-11 and fall 2011 reports. See the attachments (template files) for academic and administrative units.


What Data Do You Need To Support Your IE Reports?
The Institutional Assessment Committee is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that assessment is an active and cyclical process throughout the institution. Please share your data needs with them so that we can help in your efforts to assess your goals. Committee members include Dr. Cleo Allen (Professional Studies), Dr. Alecia Cyprian (Student Success), Ms. Pamela England (Student Success), Dr. Lenetra Jefferson (Professional Studies), Dr. Willie Kirkland (Institutional Research), Dr. Lynda Louis (Arts & Sciences), Dr. Hussain Mohammed (Business) and Dr. Ramona Jean-Perkins (QEP).


Spring 2011 Student Instructional Reports (SIR II)
Results from the spring 2011 administration should arrive late this week. It will take another week for my office to process and disseminate completed report packets to individual faculty members, their deans and the Office of Academic Affairs.
