Fall 2025 Program Review Training

Facilitated by: Veronica Lopez, Nutrition and Academic Vice President; Jeff Sacha, Sociology, and Research; Yuj Shimizu, Psychology and Faculty Research Coordinator; Victor Zarate, Physics and CTL Liaison; and Brenda Valles, Dean, Institutional Effectiveness, and Innovation.
 
In this training, we will share information and resources to support you and your department as you go through the Program Review process, including responding to ARC's new Program Review questions with a focus on equity (updated in Fall 2023, operationalize Spring 2024). We are using a flipped model for this training; before the training, please view this video from minute 11 through minute 22 where Faculty Research Coordinator Yuj Shimizu walks you through the process of using the Course-level Disproportionate Impact Reports on ARC Data on Demand. The data sets are designed to promote equity and inform departmental dialogue, planning, decision-making, and resource allocation. Recent updates include (1) better integration with ARC’s Data on Demand system to provide users with more sophisticated and nuanced ways of exploring their unit’s data and (2) greater emphasis and access to disproportionate impact data (how student achievement outcomes vary by gender, race/ethnicity, veteran, foster youth, disability, and income/poverty level status) to enable users to engage in more advanced student-centered and equity-centered analysis, reflection, and planning. We will share and discuss ideas on how departments can use this foundation to set forth their approach to narrowing the opportunity gaps for disproportionate groups.
