The Chairs Grade Dashboard<\/strong> gives faculty leaders the ability to query grade data to uncover trends, challenges, and opportunities relevant to their work as leaders.<\/p>\n

Many years back, instructors would submit their grades on paper, passing summary sheets to chairs who might review them quickly, observing trends in student success. In addition, chairs received printed reports of grading distributions in their department, and often these led to conversations among colleagues about student learning and sometimes led to curricular revision. Grades are the very end of a long process and are intended<\/em> to reflect the extent to which students are meeting course learning outcomes. Grades actually help chairs and faculty leaders need to investigate whether these intentions are being realized.<\/p>\n

When course grades do not meet expectations at the section, course, or program level, faculty need to assemble to investigate and discuss the problem. They might find that the issue is with a preparatory course or that final grade proportions need adjusting. Or they might decide that the grades are fine, accurately reflecting not just the results of the assessments given, but also the true range of student achievement as defined by the course learning objectives.<\/p>\n

Data analyses should help answer questions best pursued by faculty leaders who know their students and their disciplines. For a high-level overview of grades, see the most recent report on grades at OFE Surveys and Reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The data in the Chairs’ Grade Dashboard is sensitive and is thus only available to chairs, their designees (like course coordinators or professional staff who support their work), and other leaders in Academic Affairs. Chairs may, however, distribute whatever data analyses they pull to their faculty and staff as is appropriate to pursue their work as disciplinary and program leaders.<\/p>\n

Access to the Chairs’ Grade dashboard is requested through the IT Service Portal<\/a>, enabling you to see the internal Tableau-based dashboard, accessible at tableau.montclair.edu.<\/a><\/p>\n
