School Counseling Assessment Dashboard

The School Counseling Dashboard contains systematic program evaluation data as well as the aggregate assessment of student learning outcomes.

The assessment plan utilized by the Counseling Program includes multiple points throughout a student’s Plan of Study where assessment occurs; the means by which assessment occurs; the assessment measures and formats utilized; process by which remediation occurs as needed; and the means by which data is collected, analyzed, and utilized for curriculum and program improvement.

The assessment dashboard provides an opportunity for our stakeholders to review our assessment plan as well as the results of data collection and evaluation process. Data points on the assessment dashboard are updated as new data becomes available.
