The document outlines the process for building an assessment blueprint from January 11th to January 15th. It includes conducting a content analysis, identifying themes from faculty discussions, determining guiding principles, and proposed policies and procedures. From October 9th to January 8th, the LOCC and LOAT will gather input and review literature to determine the policies and procedures, which they will vote on. Themes, principles, and policies will be managed in an assessment blueprint template.
