Master Plan Self-Assessment

Master plans are the evidence that a unit is performing assessment and an index to how that assessment is undertaken. Effective assessment plans establish clear goals, set high levels of achievement, and include meaningful measurements for gauging progress toward goals. As a progress report, these plans show that the unit evaluates its annual information and makes decisions based upon evidence. These changes are then followed up on (assessed) in subsequent plans.

In this section, please self-evaluate this process by indicating as follows: 1 – I need a lot of help in this area;

2 – I am making progress, but need help; 3 – I do not need help in this area

Area 1: Mission/Institutional Mission Reference

(I am confident my unit’s mission statement communicates clearly to a broad audience and shows its unique and obvious place within the institutional framework.)

3

Area 2: Objectives/Outcomes

(Mostly for Admin Units: I am satisfied that the objectives I have listed support the unit mission, are clear and measurable, and adequate in number.)

3

Area 3: Assessments/Expectations

(I am satisfied that my assessments accurately measure my objectives, that there are enough assessments to get a meaningful picture, and that my unit’s expectations are rigorous but attainable.)

2

Area 4: Data/Collection

(I am satisfied with the amount and quality of data I receive.)

3 Area 5: Data Analysis/Application

(I am satisfied with the unit’s process for analyzing data and making improvements.) 3
