Goals:  \n• are succinct, broad, and are generally difficult to measure.  \n• provide the general structure for assessment plans, and will have one or more SLOs or objectives under each.  \n• act as an umbrella over SLOs and objectives.  \nExamples of Goal Statements and Goal Titles:  \n• (Goal Statement) The Office of Admissions and Merit Awards seeks to attract a diverse student body from a variety of ethnic, economic, and geographic backgrounds.  \n➢ (Goal Title) Attract Diverse Student Body  \n• Begin formal planning and preparation for decennial reaffirmation process scheduled for 2022.  \n➢ Accreditation – Decennial Reaffirmation Process  \n• The department expects graduates to demonstrate an ability to describe various global cultures, physical and political regions, and environmental contexts.  \n➢ Global Knowledge  \n• Mathematics majors will demonstrate a sound conceptual knowledge of the theoretical foundations of mathematics.  \n➢ Theoretical Foundations  \nGoal Template Fields  \n• Enter sequentially beginning with 1. Do not add a period, the word “goal”, etc.  \n• Brief, abbreviated title for the goal that will appear on the main Plan Items tab (Figure 1) .  \n• It may be easier to add this field after the full goal statement has been written.  \nSelect the Paste as text option when copying and pasting text from other programs, e.g. Word, Excel  \n• The full goal statement is added to the Goal Statement box.  \nThat fields with a red asterisk * are required fields. You cannot save the template without adding content to these fields.  \nThat all fields have a prompt to guide you in entering content in the field.  \n• The start and end date will be populated by the system based on the selected fiscal year and cannot be modified.  \n• Select In Progress when creating assessment plans. You will change this field to Complete when writing your assessment report later in the year.  \n• The Providing Department field is populated by the system.  \nSLOs and Objectives in Assessment Plans  \n• Academic programs list SLOs that relate to their programs with the intent that the student will have mastered these outcomes upon completing their program. SLOs are included in the University Catalog with the description of each program.  \n• Administrative units do not provide academic instruction to students in the classroom so they do not report student learning outcomes; instead their focus is on meeting unit goals and objectives.  \n• Student services units, e.g. University Recreation, Student Affairs, may have plans that are a  \ncombination of objectives and SLOs. These units function primarily as administrative units, however, due to their direct interaction with students out of the classroom, often SLOs are appropriate for inclusion in assessment plans.  \nAdding Unit Objectives and SLOs  \nObjectives and SLOs specify an action that is observable, measurable, and demonstrable. Objectives and SLOs include:  \n• One action verb:  \n➢ Produce, identify, compare  \n• A measurable, quantifiable outcome  \n➢ Percent increase in participation in a recycling program  \n• A clearly defined expectation or result  \n➢ Teacher candidates will design lesson plans based on knowledge of subject matter  \n• A timeline for completion  \n➢ Project will be complete by Fall 2019  \nExamples of Objective Statements and Objective Titles:  \n• (Objective Statement) During the FY 2019-20, the measured response rate of prospective students taking the campus tour will be 85% .  \n➢ (Objective Title) Campus Tour Response Rate  \n• 90% or above of 25Live training participants will rate training provided during 2023-24 as satisfactory.  \n➢ 25Live Satisfaction  \nExamples of SLO Statements and SLO Titles:  \n• (SLO Statement) Students will demonstrate an abil","cbCaipAw5bk5UJly","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipAw5bk5UJly","pdf",343305,9,8,"English","# Creating an Assessment Plan\n## Adding Unit Goals and Academic Program Goals\n## Goal Template Fields\n## SLOs and Objectives in Assessment Plans\n## Adding Unit Objectives and SLOs\n## Objective/Outcome Template","[{\"question\":\"What are Unit Goals and how do they relate to SLOs and objectives?\",\"answer\":\"Unit Goals are overarching principles that guide decision-making.
