Learner Support Review
Learner Support Review
Last conducted in AY 2016-17, the Learner Support Review process is under revision to become an annual, cross-collaborative process. On a five-year cycle, approximately 20 percent of learner supports across campus will participate in developing and reviewing a comprehensive, online self-study intended to provide evidence of continuous quality improvement, and to identify areas of concentration for strategic planning. For the purpose of review, 澳门六合彩官网直播 defines learner support as 鈥渁ny unit, department, program, resource, or service that contributes to the education, growth, and development of learners outside of their academic programs.鈥 These offerings typically set goals for learner development, and track and measure learning and process outcomes to test progress toward those goals.
Statement of Purpose
澳门六合彩官网直播 engages in an integrated program review process called for by the University Strategic Plan and as part of Higher Learning Commission compliance. Academic Program Review (APR) and Learner Support Review (LSR) assist the institution with continuous improvement of programs and services, and promote institution鈥恮ide understanding of learning and process outcomes, program effectiveness, and institutional coherence.
The primary goal of the new LSR process is to ensure continuous quality improvement of all learner-support programs and services at 澳门六合彩官网直播. Objectives of the revision process are to:
- Develop a new self鈥恠tudy questionnaire and comprehensive implementation plan that complements the Academic Program Review system
- Implement a successful training series for self鈥恠tudy completers and successive reviewers
- Improve strategic planning through development of action plans based on reviewer recommendations
- Establish a rotational cycle of annual program reviews for all learner-support programs and services at 澳门六合彩官网直播
LSR鈥檚 Guiding Principles
The LSR Working Group believes that the guiding principles integral to building the new system should include:
- Simplicity, focus, usefulness, and transparency
- Inclusion of multiple voices
- Emphasis on the contextual analysis of data over data-reporting (what does the data tell the expert that the lay-person might not understand)
- Opportunity for program鈥恖evel SOAR, SWOT, and gap analysis
- Development of action plans for how to move from reflection into action
LSR Working Group
The purpose of this group is to design the questions and the annual process for conducting Learner-Support Review on a three- to five-year rotational basis that will complement the current Academic Program Review process.
