Authentic assessment and evaluation of SoTL Leadership is an integral (formative and summative) component of The International Faculty SoTL Leadership Program (Hubball, Clarke, Webb & Johnson, 2015). Successful completion of the five program-level learning objectives is demonstrated using pass/fail completion criteria in the context of the SoTL Leadership e-Portfolio assignments (Hubball & Pearson, 2009). Four methods of assessment are employed:
Instructor Feedback
Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) interview, formative and summative review of SoTL Leadership ePortfolio assignments
Self-Assessment Reflections
Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) interview, formative and summative review of SoTL Leadership ePortfolio assignments
Peer Feedback
Formative peer review of SoTL Leadership ePortfolio assignments
External Peer Review
Post-program learning interview and summative external peer review of SoTL Leadership ePortfolio assignments
An academic leader’s SoTL Leadership ePortfolio is required for formative and summative assessment (including external peer review) prior to, and as part of the final graduation. More than 400 faculty graduates from this program with significant SoTL Leadership expertise and new forms of inquiry and scholarship have graduated from this program. Program graduates have made significant leadership and research contributions to the scholarship of curriculum and pedagogical practices in a wide range of peer-reviewed contexts.
