be evaluated. A future potential action plan may be to have the clinical preceptors evaluate the second-year students to
obtain more consistent inter-rater reliability. This will be analyzed again next year with feedback from the clinical
preceptors.
Goal I, SLO 2: The results for the second-year students for 2021 did not meet the benchmark of 9.0, but was extremely
close with a score of 8.9. These are very positive since the action plans were implemented in 2016. Review of the first-
year student data show the data consistently exceeding the benchmark, so the benchmark should be increased to 8.5 from
8.0. This will be implemented fall 2023 with the new incoming students and will continue to be evaluated.

Action Plan based on Analysis: Increase the benchmark for Goal I, SLO 2 for the first-year students to 8.5 from
8.0.
Re-evaluation Date: Fall 2022 at the next assessment committee meeting.

Results/Improvement(s) noted based on the action plans that were implemented: Goal I, SLO 2 for the second-year
students continues to exceed the benchmark, with the exception of 2016 and 2017 results. It was reiterated that in 2016, a
new process for evaluating students was implemented. Supervising technologists and clinical preceptors attend a
workshop where simulated competencies and evaluations take place. Discussion occurs so evaluators are grading
consistently and providing constructive feedback to the students immediately. Additionally, students were required to
complete more simulations in the laboratory setting prior to attempting in the clinical setting. They are also required to
have a minimum of three completions of an exam before performing a competency examination. This is reinforced by the
department managers who stated the new graduates are obtaining excellent radiographs and their repeat rates are slightly
lower than some of the experienced technologists.
