Background

More than 26,000 students (14,800+ FTE)
Three learning centers and one campus center
University transfer and career programs
Workforce training and full-service conference center
Various Accrediting AgenciesHave Similar Interests
Defining standards
Compliance to standards
Assessing goals and results
Single System
The Sinclair “Alphabet Soup”
Just as Dorothy needed the Tin Man, Scarecrow and Lion to reach her goal, at Sinclair we knew we needed experts from multiple disciplines to:
Continue to emphasize and implement assessment as a college-wide routine, institutionalized practice
Integrate current assessment activities across campus
The Creation of an AQIP Action Project(or “Follow the yellow brick road”)
Taking Assessmentto the Next Level
Provide a framework for a common process to identify, capture, and study student outcomes at the class, course, program, division (if appropriate), and institution levels
Drive a common set of general education learning outcomes for all students
Apply a consistent set of measurements to track success and provide a basis for continuous improvement

The code is the design of the meta-framework aligning one standard with another
“You can do this once or as many times as you have accreditors.”
