Notice: In reviewing the college budget, the council and publication of the annual COEHP Fact Book [Unit and Departmental] have been discontinued as of January 2, 2020 by the Dean. Departments can continue to pull data from the OIR&E webpage and use these data as needed in reporting. Facts and Figures Website can be accessed online.

Purpose

The College of Education and Health Professions (COEHP) Assessment Council was established to manage, maintain, and formally document meaningful data. The Council is charged with providing annual, departmental books that include college, department, and program data. In addition trend analyses and retention data are documented.

The Council works closely with the following entities:

The council members' respective accreditation chairs to make certain that the reported data are aligned with accreditation requirements
The Office of Institutional Research, University Information and Technology Services, Retention Committee, and Tk20 Coordinator
Department Chairs, Program Coordinators, and Program Faculty: To document Key and/or Course Critical Assessments and student performance

Note: Each course critical assessment begins with a documented, detailed purpose statement; is deemed valid and reliable by the program faculty, program coordinator, and chair; provides a thread of consistency with the same course over the years regardless of who teaches the course or what venue is used; etc. Please contact your council representative or Dr. Sallie Averitt Miller for more information and guidance on course critical assessments.
