Charge to the Team

1. Foster a "culture of evidence" at the college by answering two key questions: What do we mean by evidence of student learning? and how will we document this evidence?
   
2. Articulate a philosophy of assessment of student learning that will provide direction for the College in creating a coordinated program of learning centered on our core competencies.
   
3. Envision a long-term plan for the implementation and documentation of learning outcomes (based on a philosophy of student assessment and on our core competencies) that will bring coordination to the program of learning at the College, that will inform curricular change, and that will improve learning at the College.
