Direct Connection to Policy Area 5 of The Illinois Commitment Richard J. Daley College Mathematics Professor, Dr. Vali Siadat, Recognized as the Illinois Professor of the Year CCC - Richard J. Daley College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? Policy Area Five explicitly called upon colleges to have systematic assessment of student learning outcomes while holding students to ever higher expectations for learning. Dr. Vali Siadat introduced to Daley College math classrooms the Keystone method, a systematic assessment of student learning, which emphasized frequent quizzes on course content. The method of frequent quizzes held students to high expectations for learning. Description of the effective practice: Students who enrolled in math courses that used the Keystone methods adhered to strict policies of attendance and participation. Strict attendance policies helped students to maintain the pace of learning in their courses. Strict participation policies helped students focus their attention on learning. Frequent in-class quizzes gave Math instructors immediate feedback on students’ mastery of the course content. The quick feedback from quizzes equipped instructors to adjust classroom activity as appropriate. How does this practice achieve sustainability? Other faculty can receive pedagogical training in Keystone methods. To the extent that other faculty members adopt the methods, the practice is sustainable. What are the results/measurable outcomes? The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education awarded Dr. Siadat Illinois Professor of the Year in recognition of his ability to provide high quality learning experiences in Mathematics.

Direct Connection to Policy Area 5 of The Illinois Commitment School of Dental Medicine Outcomes Assessment Program Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? The School of Dental Medicine (SDM) is committed to providing its students with an exceptional quality program and to prepare them for state licensure and dental practice. The SDM is also committed to ongoing assessment of this process and its effectiveness. The SDM manages an Outcomes Assessment Program for this purpose. Description of the effective practice: To measure whether SDM students have achieved competence in their educational process, three measurable outcomes, one of which is performance on the National Dental Board Examinations (Part II), are considered. The published results allow comparison of performance between SDM students and dental students nationally. How does this practice achieve sustainability? As board scores are made available, the associate dean prepares and distributes a report to the Curriculum Committee, department chairs, and the Outcomes Assessment Council. The information is then analyzed by these groups, and recommendations are made for curricular changes, such as adding new courses, restructuring/modernizing courses, and resequencing courses. What are the results/measurable outcomes? As a result of the Outcomes Assessment Program, there has been increased awareness of and effort towards improved performance by both students and faculty. The data below details the results on the National Board Examinations for each graduating class since 1995. Year Pass % Mean Nat.
