Hobbs" Subject: Re: Fwd: TESOL Cc: X-PMX-Version: , Antispam-Engine: , Antispam-Data: Page 1 of2 Holly, I am in agreement with the rationale for requesting the move to incorporate a strong assessment component in the completely reorganized TESOL program. Your request indicated the reorganization is to begin immediately but does not provide a timeline for its completion. If the program can provide a timeline for the completion of the program reorganization and commit to providing a strong assessment plan that is developed in conjunction with the program reorganization, this office can approve the deferral of submision of an assessment plan. The assessment plan would be expected to be submitted upon completion of the program reorganization. The exact timing for submission of the first complete assessment report will depend on the timing of the first graduates of the reorganized program. So that date will need to be projected at the time of the plan's submission. When we have official notice from IHL that the PhD program has been suspended, we can remove that program from our Assessment Programs inventory. p~ '"'9:52 AM 3/15/2006, Holly Reynolds wrote: ~rgie, This is our official request to postpone writing an assessment plan for TESOL for your files.

This change means that this program will be completely reorganized. The program will be thoroughly reviewed by the Department; that review will begin this term. There will be significant changes in the program as a completely new group of faculty with a different perspective takes ntrol of the program. We already know, for example, that this program, which offered the master's and ctorate in the School of Education, will offer only a master's program in the College, i.e., the doctorate has been eliminated. A major change, and one that affects the master's level courses as well. The department will be spending much time thinking about and organizing this new program in the College.

2 Margie 1. Hobbs, 04:08 PM 3115/2006, Re: Fwd: TESOL Page 2 of2 To ask them to write an assessment document based on the old program would be seen as a waste of time -- they will be assessing something that we know will not exist. And, in a very real sense, asking them to write an assessment plan for the old program while they spending much time planning the new program -'JnS the risk of trivializing assessment, something that must be avoided. Assessment has only a few nampions on campus, and those of us who support assessment must be able to defend our procedures. I don't want to have to defend, and could not defend, requiring an assessment report while we are thoroughly reviewing the structure of the program. Right now the appropriate question is not if the current program has been effective.the question now is what the program should be and how we can find resources to make it strong. Once we have made those decisions, we will be ready to develop a plan to assess the effectiveness of the newly structured program.
