-All SEHD programs have identified key assessments (sometimes called performance-based assessments, PBAs) and scoring rubrics that provide evidence of valued student learning objectives as part of course offerings and clinical experiences. Program faculty members are responsible for using their programs’ key assessments and ensuring that adjunct faculty members do as well. Key program assessments are managed through the SEHD Assessment management system, LiveText by Waternark. Faculty can link the assessment tasks and scoring rubrics for their key assessments to their Canvas course shells so that student results are automatically entered into the SEHD Assessment management system. Program faculty are expected to regularly review the key program-level assessments and rubrics to ensure they are current and appropriate. The Office of Assessment and Program Improvement provides training, support videos and job aides to assist faculty with the development, scoring and administration of key program assessments as needed and upon request. The Assessment Office also administers LiveText by Watermark accounts for faculty and students.+All SEHD programs have identified key assessments (sometimes called performance-based assessments, PBAs) and scoring rubrics that provide evidence of valued student learning objectives as part of course offerings and clinical experiences.
