Assessment of General Education Essential Skills
While GE content is the purview of particular disciplines, all departments must also include the assessment of GE Skills in their departmental review processes. As such, Departments should make sure that any assessment of the disciplinary content is coupled with an assessment of GE Skills. In terms of GE Skills, the CSU and CSULB has adopted the LEAP skills identified by the AAC&U:
· Information Literacy and Technology Literacy
· Teamwork
· Creativity, Inquiry, and Discovery
· Intercultural Competence (Human Diversity )
· Ethical Reasoning and Social Responsibility
· Foundation and Skills for Lifelong Learning
· Including Synthesis and Interdisciplinary Methods of Inquiry
In organizing an assessment of GE Skills, departments should utilize the Department GE Curriculum Map that they completed and submitted to the GEGC. In each case, whether courses are reviewed individually or in batches, departments should provide an assessment of at least one GE Skill per course or batch. The expectation is that departments will identify the relevant GE Skills taught in their GE courses on the Department GE Curriculum Map and that at the end of the seven year program review cycle will have assessed all GE Skills. The Annual Assessment report will be used to identify the GE Skills being assessed in any given year within the seven-year cycle.
The Departmental Model of GE Skills Assessment
will be effective Fall 2010. Programs writing self-studies during the 2010-11 academic year will be expected to address this. All others will be expected to complete the GE student-learning questions in their annual assessment report due in June 2011.
