Student Learning Assessment
To assure effective development and consistent delivery of institutional-level, program-level and course-level student learning outcomes, MATC uses the Plan-Do-Check-Adjust (PDCA) continuous quality improvement cycle.
By regularly reviewing and discussing evidence of student learning, faculty identify a specific opportunity to improve outcomes, choose a new strategy and plan a way to test the improvement.
Based on a defined strategy, faculty adjust instruction and support for student skill development.
Analysis of assessment results informs faculty continuous improvement discussions and decisions aimed toward strengthening student learning.
Based on evidence of student success with achieving learning outcomes, faculty commit to practices contributing positively or take appropriate action in areas of opportunity.
MATC has three primary branches of student learning that we assess regularly and formally: institutional-level, program-level and course-level. Across all assessment activities, we focus on the most important learning goals that will contribute to student success. Our efforts are guided by our mission, the MATC Standards of Teaching Excellence (pdf) and a shared commitment to continuous quality improvement.
