    Assessing Hidden Outcomes of Civic or Community Engagement during College
    (2017-08-03) Weiss, H. Anne; Norris, Kristin
    Pedagogies of community engagement have been touted as one way faculty or staff can produce or strengthen disciplinary or subject-related learning outcomes or skill development for students in higher education. This has, consequently, left other learning and developmental outcomes often unspoken or, more often, unmeasured and hidden across teaching and learning experiences during college . These unstated learning and developmental outcomes are, however, intrinsic to community engaged pedagogies and initiatives: civic learning/knowledge, civic identity, civic agency, civic mindedness, and much more! In this presentation participants will begin with the PUBLIC goals, objectives, outcomes, etc. in mind and end with articulating a strategy to identify and assess these, often, unstated outcomes of community engagement pedagogies or initiatives.

    Civic-Minded Rubric 2.0
    (2017-07-10) Weiss, H. Anne; Hahn, Thomas W.; Norris, Kristin E.
    The Civic-Minded Graduate Rubric 2.0 was developed in order to travel across multiple artifacts of and experiences in learning and service. The goal was to create a practical tool for faculty and staff to use when assessing either a large, broad civic learning goal related to obtaining a tertiary education- being a civic minded graduate- or assessing a certain aspect of being civic-minded as it relates to a specific learning experience, initiative, pedagogy or program (empathy, curiosity, depth of community engagement, etc.).

    Community Engagement Professionals as Inquiring Practitioners for Organizational Learning
    (Institute of Higher Education, 2019) Weiss, H. Anne; Norris, Kristin E.; School of Education
    This essay examines the inquiry activities that community engagement professionals (CEPs) can utilize to support organizational learning. We advocate for an inquiry approach that focuses on improvement and informing community-engaged practices and organizational change. By unpacking why inquiry is imperative for CEPs and outlining the tensions that may arise, we introduce three concepts: inquiry consists of different yet connected activities including, but not limited to, assessing student learning; CEPs are key knowledge workers in higher education; and, finally, CEPs can and should leverage inquiry to inform institutional planning and systematically align policies, processes, and procedures to demonstrate our public missions for society and other key stakeholders.

    (2016-10-23) Norris, Kristin; Weiss, H. Anne; Mack, Heather; Medlin, Kristin; Wittman, Amanda
    Most campuses are eager to answer the question "How are students, faculty, and staff at my campus working to address wicked or public problems?" In this presentation we explore a range of strategies to track and monitor community-engaged activities going on across your campus, which includes curricular, co-curricular or project-based activities that are done in collaboration with the community. This presentation gives participants tools, strategies, steps, and information that can be used to design, initiate, and/or enhance systematic assessment or evaluation of community-engaged activities.
