Pilot Project: Passport Learning Outcomes and Proficiency Criteria

Passport Criteria and Assessment Teams

Criteria and Assessment Teams

The Criteria and Assessment Teams were assembled to develop the institutional level criteria that indicate the level of proficiency of the PLOs required for a student to earn a Passport. Linked to these criteria are examples of assignments and/or assessments that may be used as appropriate evidence to support a judgment of “competent at the transfer level.” Each of the five pilot states (CA, HI, ND, OR, UT) named representatives to each criteria and assessment team to serve through May 2013. The C&A Teams will share their work with the Pilot State Facilitators and their stakeholders during several rounds of review, soliciting feedback and resulting, as appropriate, in new versions of the criteria. The goal of the teams’ work is to produce the Passport Learning Outcomes and Criteria that will become part of the Interstate Passport Agreement to be available to the pilot states for signature in June 2013.
