COUNCIL ON SOCIAL WORK EDUCATION – FORM AS 4(M)<\/strong>
\nMONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK PROGRAM<\/strong>
\nASSESSMENT OF STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Form AS 4(M) <\/strong>A form required for Reaffirmation, Candidacy, and ongoing compliance per AS 4.0.3.<\/p>\n

Submitting Form AS 4 for Reaffirmation Self-Study & Candidacy Benchmarks<\/strong><\/p>\n

This form is used to assist the Commission on Accreditation in the evaluation of the program\u2019s compliance with the accreditation standard below:<\/p>\n

4.0.3: <\/strong>The program uses Form AS 4(B) and\/or Form AS 4(M) to report its most recent assessment outcomes for each program option to constituents and the public on its website and routinely up-dates (minimally every 2 years) its findings.<\/p>\n

All programs accredited by the Council on Social Work Education\u2019s (CSWE) Commission on Accreditation (COA) are required to measure and report student learning outcomes.\u00a0 All students are assessed using a minimum of two measures on their mastery of the nine competencies that comprise the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) and any additional competencies programs may choose to add.\u00a0 These holistic competencies reflect the dimensions (knowledge, values, skills, and cognitive & affective processes) of social work practice that all social workers are expected to master during their professional training.<\/p>\n

Programs determine a percentage-based benchmark\u00a0for each competency and determine an outcome-measure benchmark (minimum score) for each measure. The competency benchmark (which can differ for each competency) represents the minimum percent of students the program expects to have achieved the outcome measure benchmarks in both\/all measures for each of the nine competencies. The program then determines the percentage of students that attained each outcome measure (e.g., minimum score or higher), and aggregates the percentages for both\/all measures together to obtain the percentage of students demonstrating competence inclusive of two (2) or more measures. The result of aggregating both\/all outcome measure percentages provides the percentage of students achieving the competency benchmark.\u00a0An aggregated percentage at or above the competency benchmark is considered achievement of that competency. If the program has more than one program option, the program must report data for each program option, and also an aggregate of all program options combined to determine an overall percentage of students across all program options achieving the competency benchmark.<\/p>\n

Posting Form AS 4 for Ongoing Compliance with AS 4.0.3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Per the requirement of CSWE COA\u2019s recognizing body, the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), and accreditation standard 4.0.3, programs must post this form publicly on its website and routinely up-date (minimally every 2 years) its findings.\u00a0 Upon request, programs must provide CSWE with the weblink to the published form on the program\u2019s website where it is accessible to the public<\/u>.\u00a0 Data presented on the form must be collected within 2 years of today\u2019s date at all times.<\/u><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Summary of the Program\u2019s Assessment Plan | Specialized Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students are assessed using a minimum of two measures on their mastery of the nine competencies that comprise the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards of the Council on Social Work Education and any additional competencies programs may choose to add, that reflect the area of specialized practice.\u00a0 Summarize the program\u2019s competency-based assessment plan.\u00a0 Programs may add\/delete rows to accurately reflect the number of areas of specialized practice and each measure included in the data presented.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Directions for completing Form AS 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indicate the benchmark percentage for each competency.\u00a0 The competency benchmark is the percent of students the program expects to have achieved both\/all outcome measure benchmarks.\u00a0 Programs calculate the percentage of students achieving each outcome measure benchmark, then calculate the percentage of students achieving each competency inclusive of two or more measures for each program option.\u00a0 Programs with multiple program options must present data for each program option, and in aggregate inclusive of all program options per competency.\u00a0 Programs may add\/delete columns and to accurately reflect the number of program options offered.\u00a0 This is a required form.\u00a0 The assessment data table may be altered to accurately reflect the number of program options offered and additional program-developed competencies. However, beyond these formatting alternations, the program may not alter the content of this form.<\/p>\n
