A Northwestern professor lectures during class.

Per the requirement of CSWE COA’s recognizing body, the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), an accreditation standard 5.0.1, a program must post this form publicly on its website and routinely update (minimally every two years) its findings. Upon request, programs must provide CSWE with the weblink to the published form on the program’s website where it is accessible to the public.  Data presented on the form must be collected within two years of today’s date at all times.

Directions for completing Form AS B5.0.1(d)
5.0.1(d) The program posts its assessment plan and summary outcomes publicly on its webpage using Form AS 5.0.1(d). The findings are updated every two years, at minimum. The program submits Form AS B5.0.1(d) to report its assessment plan and most recent assessment summary outcomes. The program provides a hyperlink to the program’s webpage where the assessment plan and summary outcomes are publicly displayed. The program provides outcomes for each program option and in aggregate.

Indicate the benchmark percentage for each competency. The competency benchmark is the percent of students the program expects to have achieved both/all outcome measure benchmarks. 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.  Programs with multiple program options must present data for each program option, and in aggregate inclusive of all program options per competency.  Programs may add/delete columns to accurately reflect the number of program options offered. This is a required form. 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 alterations, the program may not alter the content of this form.
