Program Leaders Handbook


While editing the handbook, if you experience any issues or need to roll-back a revision please email sehdhelp@ucdenver.edu

Introduction

The Program Leader role is a two-year rotation for one faculty member from within each program area in the School. This should be a tenured or a clinical faculty member but in general, not an untenured faculty member working to achieve tenure and promotion. At the end of the two years, the Program Leader will receive a course reduction for the semester of his/her choice. Program Leaders serve as conveners, coordinators and facilitators of the faculty and the work to be accomplished each year for the program. In addition, the Program Leader is essential in helping establish and carry out the vision for the program area.

In addition, the Program Leader sets the agenda each fall for continuous improvement and strategic direction for the area. The Dean’s goal is to improve processes to limit the amount of administrative work for the Program Leader so that the role is focused as much as possible on substantive work. Each program has an Associate Dean, the accreditation office, the outreach and admissions office, the student services office and the information and academic technology office to support his/her work. It is important for the Program Leader to liaison well with people in all of these areas on behalf of his or her program area.

Program Leaders also serve as the main point of contact for all school-wide and programlevel continuous improvement efforts. This includes staying up to date on program improvement data/information available through the University Dashboard System (tableau), the SEHD Assessment and Program Improvement Office. It also includes facilitating dialogue among program faculty regarding using these data/information for program improvement, and documenting program improvements made as a result.

Duties and Responsibilities

Reauthorization, Accreditation and Program Effectiveness

Program Leaders are responsible for the following related to program reauthorization, accreditation and program effectiveness:

  • Serve as the main point of contact and accountability for all state (CDE/CDHE) program authorization/reauthorization and Higher Learning Commission (HLC) review/accreditation processes. This means working to understand the requirements of these processes as presented and shared at Program Leaders’ Meetings, conveying these requirements to their program faculty colleagues, and facilitating efforts within programs to meet these requirements. * Ensure their program provides an annual HLC Program Outcomes and Assessment Report due early in the fall term. Along with the Associate Deans aligned with their programs, the Program Leaders are responsible for ensuring all deadlines for these processes are met. * Ensure program outcomes and assessment information remains current and accessible in the program section of the SEHD web site. * Facilitate collection of program-level assessment results . This includes ensuring faculty/instructors who administer program-level assessments in their courses capture assessment results in LiveText (by embedding LiveText rubrics in their Canvas shell or separately entering results in LiveText). * Serve as the main point of contact for all school-wide and program level continuous improvement efforts. This includes staying up to date on program improvement data/information available through the University Dashboard System (tableau), LiveText, and the SEHD Assessment and Program Improvement Office. It also includes facilitating dialogue among program faculty regarding using this data/information for program improvement, and documenting program improvements made as a result. Send any questions, comments or concerns to Julie O’Brian, Executive Director, of Assessment and Program Improvement. ===== Office of Recruitment and Outreach ===== * Navigate and forward prospective students to education@ucdenver.edu or 303-315-6300.
