Its practices to improve student outcomes include remedial math and composition pathways reforms and establishing signature general education core competencies and communication abilities. Combined together, such practices have helped double the graduation rate over a decade. Until recently, however, assessment data had not been disaggregated for different student demographics. In this article, we describe how we transformed our traditional means of analyzing outcomes data toward one that utilized an equity-driven index for two cohorts of students across major racial and ethnic populations. We examined the data for representational equity and equitable performance. In a key finding, we discovered our ongoing assessment practices do not reflect our student population on both counts, especially as a designated Hispanic Serving Institution. Further, we found other under- and over-representation of racial populations in our general education assessment samples. We conclude by suggesting further areas of inquiry with equity-based assessment and note ongoing challenges to systematizing this approach.","PeriodicalId":512716,"journal":{"name":"Intersection: A Journal at the Intersection of Assessment and Learning","volume":"2 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140254029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors in this issue elucidated some effective ways for acquiring insights into learners’ experiences. Leveraging their extensive experience in non-credit education, Stitt-Bergh et al. (2024) contribute significantly to the assessment community by presenting an effective assessment approach (well-crafted learning outcomes, learning outcome-focused survey questions, and appropriate direct assessment of learning) for noncredit continuing education courses. Smith et al. (2024) used word clouds on students’ reflections to provide formative assessment feedback to students. The integration of structured prompts not only offers undergraduate students a framework for thoughtful reflection but also serves as an effective approach to understanding the nuances of student learning. Applying reflection to a faculty’s professional development workshop, Singer-Freeman & Verbeke (2024) shared how they effectively measure the impact and identify change needs through a three-question survey.","PeriodicalId":512716,"journal":{"name":"Intersection: A Journal at the Intersection of Assessment and Learning","volume":"280 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140472135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
