School for Global Education & Innovation Gregory Shepherd, Ph.D., School for Global Education & Innovation Donald Marks, Ph.D., Advanced Studies in Psychology Linda Cifelli, Librarian Dawn Marie Dowd, Bridget Lepore, and Bridget White, School of General Studies Xurong Kong, Ph.D., Department of History Mia Zamora, Ph.D., School of English Studies Karen Harris, Center for Professional Development

Situated within the context of general education, this interactive (using augmented reality and QR codes on the poster) poster session outlines innovative and transformative assessment models in developing global competencies, information literacy, critical thinking and 21st century skills among general education students and showcases transformative, inclusive, multilingual, multicultural assessment models across content areas. Also, each presenter will share the GE rubrics they use in their program and outline how they are being communicated to the students and how they are being evaluated by the faculty.

@https://tellagami.com/gami/4SMSMJ/ A rubric is an example of a course embedded tool that provides a //direct measure// of student learning outcomes. Rubrics are used to provide assessment of assignments, projects, etc., and communicate professional judgment on the work with the use of criteria and descriptors. The rubric lays out specific expectations for the student work sample that can be evaluated on a scale from high to low. The data from the rubric can be quantified and used for data analysis to improve teaching and learning as well as inform longitudinal growth.
 * What is a Rubric?**


 * Why do we use rubrics for GE Program Assessment?**

The general education program has student learning outcomes. For example, a few outcomes such as communicating through writing and speech, demonstrating critical thinking, and information literacy skills, and demonstrating ethical and social responsibility are GE Student learning outcomes that are assessed using rubrics. By using a set standard of institutional level descriptors for each outcome, the School of General Studies can gather data about students learning and growth over time. @https://tellagami.com/gami/AJHZ2W/ The Middle States Commission on Higher Education is the accreditation body of Kean University. Direct measures of student learning, such as rubrics, provide greater detail as to the student learning outcome achieved, as opposed to grades, which is considered an indirect measure of assessment. @https://tellagami.com/gami/089AI3/

@https://tellagami.com/gami/1IAFNK/ The School of General Studies, in collaboration with the office of assessment and accreditation, collect rubric data, from GE foundation courses, GE interdisciplinary and distribution courses, and capstone courses to assess GE Knowledge, skills and values. Bridget Lepore currently serves as our assessment coordinator, and for further information we encourage you to contact blepore@kean.edu.
 * How do we collect data?**

@https://tellagami.com/gami/TUT38F/ For accreditation purposes, KU collects data to improve teaching and learning. We need your help. In your GE classes and your capstone courses you will see rubrics such as the speaker evaluation form, writing rubric. These rubrics are there to guide you in improving your presentation skills and your writing skills, it also provides overall growth in our GE courses, and the overall GE program for the institution.
