Start Smart Updates
Written by Dave Braunschweig, Professor, Computer Information Systems and Stephanie Whalen, Chair, Academy for Teaching Excellence & Associate Professor, English and Interdisciplinary Studies
The Start Smart program at Harper College was designed to help new students adjust to college successfully and develop career goals; there have been different types of college success courses offered as a part of the program, including orientation and personal development courses taught by counselors, learning framework courses taught by college success faculty, and First Year Seminar courses taught by faculty across disciplines. Each year, resources and materials to support common assignments and program outcomes have been shared with the faculty through Blackboard via a course copy of a master FYS shell to all instructors' shells. The program has now aligned all First Year Seminar courses with Areas of Interest, and the common resources and materials must be revised in order to support program outcomes in the variety of courses offered.

Learning Assessment Community of Practice: Highlights to the tune of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
"It was 9 months ago today
(give or take a week, I'd say)
that our little group came to be
the Learning Assessment CoP.
We all figured out what to do,
and now we're ready to share with you
assessment projects that are gonna blow your mind!"
With apologies to the Beatles, we would like to highlight the work of the Learning Assessment Community of Practice.
For the past two semesters, we have met as a group to discuss research and evidence-based practices, instructional strategies, and other issues related to assessment. We have shared information and resources that might be used to develop, expand, and inform our own disciplines on assessment techniques and issues. Through our work, we hope to enrich and improve campus conversations related to assessment by serving as a forum for the exchange of relevant ideas, practices, tools, and theories related to assessment.
If any of this information resonates with you and/or you are interested in learning more about assessment at Harper, consider joining our Learning Assessment Community of Practice! It's as easy as sending us an email:
[email protected].
