Welcome to the Learning Community, which is being developed to support teaching and learning, including assistance in the process of assessing student learning outcomes at the department/program and course level. This support is designed to supplement departmental efforts, which would include in-person meetings, discussions and other methods adopted by faculty.

Additional resources in working-draft form, are available here:
Academic Program Planning Handbook 316 Kb. PDF

The website functions, primarily, in the following ways:

  • It provides information about the Assessment process at Pratt Institute, such as scope, responsibility, steps to take and timeliness; guidelines, such as criteria and guiding questions;
  • It helps facilitate widespread faculty participation by providing optional tools, such as WebForms to help departments collect faculty contributions; and
  • It provides optional web-space and services for individual departments.

This website is under development. Thus, its content and functionality will be frequently refined and updated.  So far, it contains the following sections:

01Assessment provides information and guiding principles about the various types and levels of assessment at Pratt.
   
02  Academic Policies which includes guidelines and timelines for developing Program Learning Goals (under constuction).
