An assessment model at King's College (Pennsylvania) is described, which involves redesigning the general education core curriculum with competency-based measures. The new learning plan for the core curriculum establishes graduation competencies and regular monitoring of student progress. The plan supports a value-added approach to curriculum and student learning outcomes. Components of the plan include: pre- and post-testing, descriptive competency statements and measurements, competency growth plans, integrated effective writing and critical thinking assessment, senior level capstone course, senior level integrated assessment in major field, and development of teaching strategies to assist students to become active learners. Information is provided on these components and on the summer advisement and orientation program for freshmen and transfer students, alumni surveys, library competency for accounting students, computer competency for psychology majors, and the core curriculum. Basic skills of entering students will be assessed to determine appropriate course placement, and standardized tests will assess six areas of knowledge. Attitudinal surveys will also identify student goals, attitudes, and values. (SW)
