According to Assessment and National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) Results of the 2007 Survey of Student Engagement confirm that Earlham is effectively engaging its students in active learning. The NSSE assessment, developed with support from The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in 2001, asks first-year and senior students to report what they actually do while they are in college and focuses on the processes of learning. North Central Association of Colleges and Schools Accreditation In 2004 Earlham received its full 10-year accreditation with a very positive review. The College has been continuously accredited by the Higher Learning Association of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools since 1913. The Teagle Foundation The Teagle Foundation approved a request from Earlham in 2008 for a grant of $149,577 for general education learning goal assessment. Kari Kalve was the author of the proposal and will serve as project director. Plans include implementing a procedure for assessing two of our 10 General Education learning goals each year on an ongoing five-year rotation that will include student faculty research projects, selecting the best assessment practices for Earlham and creating a system to carry out assessment every five years. As a result of these projects, we expect to see improved NSSE scores in first-year student engagement, improved campus-wide understanding of our general education process and improved student general education learning. U.S. News & World Report Rankings Earlham College President Douglas C. Bennett has taken a stand against the usefulness of U.S. News rankings in providing students meaningful information in the college search process. Earlham is one of a more than 80 colleges, members of the Annapolis Group, that do not participate in the reputational survey. |
