Committee for Learning Assessment

Responsibilities

The Wagner College Faculty has committed itself to using a systematic learning assessment plan to address the following two questions:

• Does Wagner College present courses/formats/settings that allow students to meet the learning goals as found in the Wagner College Undergraduate Bulletin?
• Do Wagner College students achieve the learning goals?

To serve this end, the Committee for Learning Assessment is responsible for:

• serving as a resource function and
• assisting academic Departments and other policy–making bodies in coordinating the assessment of all academic curricular and co-curricular programs.

Membership Criteria

The Committee for Learning Assessment consists of five full–time faculty. The Provost, the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, and the Dean of the College serve on the committee as non–voting members. The Committee of the Whole elects to the CLA one member of each of the Divisions nominated to run based on their ability to represent the interests of their academic Faculty and based on their expertise in learning assessment.

A CLA member must be a full–time member of the Faculty who holds the rank of Assistant Professor or higher. The Committee of the Whole elects members to the CLA at the last regularly scheduled meeting of the academic year. The elections are staggered to prevent more than four persons from beginning their committee service in the same year. The team of service is three years, with the possibility of re–election to a second term.
