Complete the learning outcomes template from the previous year 2011-2012 (if you have not done so). On the remainder of the template, document what your program discovered from collecting these results, what worked, what did not work, and most importantly how will the results be used to improve student learning. (The improvements that you plan to make may "spiral" into the next planning year that you can use.) |
