| GOAL: Application Of Leadership And Management Content / Principles To Their Own Agencies |
| Objective |
|
||||
| Students preparing to graduate with a Master of Science in Leadership and Management will demonstrate the ability to apply leadership and management principles to work in their own agencies. |
| Indicator |
|
|||
| As a part of their assessed work, students will be required to apply the leadership and management principles presented in their courses to their own working environments. This will be in the form of essay exam questions or learning journal entries. This indicator will not be based on the examination or journal entries as a whole, but rather, on those aspects of the assignment that focus directly on the application of principles. |
| Criterion |
|
|||
| At least 85% of the students will demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge to their own working environments to sufficient depth as to receive a designation of “satisfactory” or better from the instructor. |
| Finding |
|
|||
| The 85% satisfactory rating criterion was met as measured through learning journal entries which were evaluated according to the attached rubric. |
| Finding |
|
|||
| This criterion was met. More than 85% of students received a "satisfactory" or higher evaluation by the relevant instructor. |
Actions for Objective:
| Action |
|

| We will develop and implement a rubric assessing the application of leadership and management to practice and will employ that rubric instead of the 85% criterion. |

| Previous Cycle's "Plan for Continuous Improvement" |
|
As a component of our Continuous Quality Improvement program, a review of the instruments and criterion related to these goals and objectives is ongoing. As additional components are identified, appropriate adjustments will be made to the process. We will be stretching ourselves by raising the criterion for each objective.
|
| Update on Previous Cycle's "Plan for Continuous Improvement" |
|
Measures were reviewed. The decision was made that no changes were required.
|
| Plan for Continuous Improvement |
|
Instead of the "85% satisfactory" criterion, we will develop and employ rubrics.
