Administrative and Educational Support (AES) units assessments examine how effectively the units are achieving their goals and objectives including meeting the needs and expectations of students, parents, employers, faculty and other stakeholders. AES units can also assess Student Learning Outcomes within the context of the unit’s services and the co-curricular experiences.
AES Assessment Council
The AES Assessment Council at LaGuardia is a college-wide committee which includes representatives from the College’s divisions and meets monthly to discuss the College’s on-going AES annual and periodic assessment and to lead the AES assessment process.
AES Assessment Council
The AES Assessment Council guides LaGuardia’s Administrative and Educational Support units through ongoing systematic assessment and continuous improvement of their programs, services, and related student learning in order to support the College’s progress toward its mission and institutional goals.
Members of AES Assessment Council support these key responsibilities through three critical contributions:
- Support the assessment planning and processes: AES Assessment Council members attend monthly meetings. The Council initial task was to collectively review and assist with the design of the annual assessment plans and periodic unit reviews. Subsequently to finalizing the assessment plans, the committee meetings are dedicated to collaborating and learning from members’ experiences documenting the best ways of facilitating and improving the process.
- Division liaison: Lead, facilitate and support the assessment work of the units within their division. The Council members provide training as needed and monitor units’ progress in completing their annual and periodic assessment plans and provide feedback and guidance. Members also collaborate with OIRA in ensuring the units assessment efforts are effective and used for ongoing improvement.
- Support the Periodic Unit Review: The AES Council member will be the initial reviews for PUR studies. Following their feedback and units’ subsequent editing and revisions, the PURs will be submitted to either an external or internal reviewers.

The AES Assessment Process
AES units apply cycles of inquiry, undergo annual assessments, receive feedback, and reflect on what they learn – all in order to take meaningful actions to improve their processes, planning, and outcomes (including learning outcomes) and to contribute to the College’s and divisions successful accomplishment of their missions and priorities. The AES assessment process involves annual assessments, as well as periodic unit reviews which build on the results and analyses of the annual plans for the previous four to six years. The Periodic Unit Reviews (PUR) which started in 2022-23 are a 2-year process which culminate in a revised annual assessment plan and a final report summarizing the review process including the unit’s revised Mission, goals and overall purpose and integrating the recommendations of external reviewers.

As a result of its Periodic Unit Review (PUR), the Development Unit was split into Grants & Sponsored Programs and the LaGuardia Foundation. Consequently, assessment reporting only includes the PUR Report.

The LaGuardia Performing Arts Center (LPAC) moved from the division of Academic Affairs to Administration, and it functions were re-evaluated. While the unit participated the Periodic Unit Review (PUR) that started in 2022-23, it will not provide final PUR Report. Instead, the unit is reviewed by a consultant.
