Section IV: Linkage of Outcomes Assessment with Strategic Planning and Budgeting A. Provide a narrative that describes the ways in which the results from implementing your outcomes
assessment plan (i.e., changes and improvements needed) are linked to the strategic planning processes of the academic business unit and the institution.
SPW and Assessment Achievement Level & Process Map The above documents outline the process for the following:
• Decision to assign capstone or milestone course to be the direct measure for the program • Create path or process, rubric, link to collection tool • The System Program Workshop (SPW) and Assessment Achievement Levels are the method
programs use to meet standards for programs set by the college, collection of data for review for program to revise, connected to planning for intervention by Instructional Design (ID), which affects budgets for planning and implementation.
Business Initiatives
• Movement to ebooks, no books-‐We are replacing books with Library built Research guides which include many resources for students and faculty.
• BYOD (Bring your own device)-‐bring to class to use for research, group projects, access research guides, etc.
• Project based learning-‐initially in the capstone courses for Management and Marketing. We will be expanding this as we go to include other courses. We are also planning to link the assessments to the program or course outcomes.
• Business as a deliberate choice-‐students often end up in Business because they did not meet the requirements for a program of their choice.
• Program identification-‐Business shirts-‐We have found that students in the health science programs have a definite and quicker connection with their program due to early conversation about internships, wearing uniform, preparing for the end projects from the beginning.
B. If possible, the academic business unit’s outcomes assessment process should also be connected to
the institutional budgeting process. If applicable, provide a narrative that describes this connection.

identified in Part A above. These should be separated by tabs and identified in a table of contents. Note: For security and copyright reasons, if you are using a purchased exam from an external vendor as
a direct measure of student learning, do not include a copy of the exam in your outcomes assessment plan. Most vendors will provide an exam content outline that summarizes the types of questions included on the exam. Please use this content summary for this purpose.

Core, three courses. Instructional Design deliberately inserted Critical Thinking cases for entry level students in MGT 101, MKT 111b, and FIN 101. The students will be pre-‐tested in their Critical Thinking Skills and then post tested after they finish the three courses within two quarters. We will run the pilot again in 2015 Fall and Winter 2016. Identifying the need to introduce Critical Thinking early one will ensure that students are prepared for project based learning.

Appendix F: Faculty Growth and Evaluation Observation
FACULTY GROWTH AND EVALUATION OBSERVATION #3
Faculty Observation Component of the Faculty Evaluation and Growth Process – including Rubric
Draft as of 2/29/12
This Faculty Observation Form includes four key areas, each located on a separate page. A brief definition of the area is provided at the top of the page. The four areas include:
• Planning and Preparation
• Professional Expertise
• Learning Environment
• Learning Facilitation
Instructions:
• For each area, there are three overall ratings listed at the top of the page. Upon completion of your observation, select the rating that best describes the instructor’s overall performance in this area. NOTE: In all cases, an instructor who “exceeds expectations” also satisfies all criteria under “meets expectations.”
• Below the overall ratings is a list of behaviors related to that area. Note specific behaviors that you see during this observation. Add written observations and comments as needed. NOTE: There is no hierarchy to the bulleted behaviors listed in each area.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• The purpose of this process is to improve teaching and not pure evaluation. An observation debrief discussion with the faculty member is an important part of the process.
• The same observation/evaluation instrument and scale is used for all faculty. It should be anticipated and communicated that a new faculty member may not “meet expectations” in some areas during their first Baker teaching experience, especially considering Baker’s adjunct faculty model where many faculty members have no prior college teaching experience.
• A rating of “meets expectations” within an area is perfectly acceptable and should be acknowledged with pride. Most faculty will be in the “meets expectations” category.
• A rating of “exceeds expectations” is used for very high performance within an area, as the definition describes. There is no overall rating, only ratings for each area.
PROCESS:
Outcomes Assessment Plan 58
• Arrange a time and date for the faculty observation. While a pre-meeting would be ideal, it is
not essential to the process. • Prior to the observation, share the observation form with the faculty member. Give him/her a
copy of the form, and encourage him/her to fill in the form on themselves prior to the post-conference debrief.
• New faculty should be observed during their first quarter of teaching. Existing faculty should be observed annually, if possible.
