“…Curriculum mapping is also an opportunity to develop goal congruence, a term often associated with person-organization fit, implying a match in motivation and personality between an individual employee and the company mission, a quality that is often studied for its relationship to retention and productivity (Pfund et al, 2018;Chen, Sparrow, & Cooper, 2016). Also, when academic departments align their courses to broad student learning outcomes established by their disciplines' national organizations, it encourages faculty to collaborate, bring coherence to their work, and improve the existing curriculum (Barrette & Paesani, 2018;Pfund et al, 2018;Meek et al, 2015).…”

This project would not exist without the candid interviews I conducted with my unnamed participants. The best way I can thank them for their time and directness is to promise that I will heed their suggestions and improve the assessment of student learning outcomes at community colleges using what I have learned from our conversations.Above all I would like to thank my wife and children for encouraging me throughout this process, and I apologize for my repeated absences during Friday Night Pizza and Movie Nights while I was in class. You have had to listen to me use the words "assessment" and "rubric" too many times over the last three years, and you never complained. My wife, Melissa, gave me complete support from the moment I expressed interest in earning a doctorate. She was a consummate cheerleader and always went the extra mile to make sure I could complete my work.Just like everything else in my life, this dissertation is yours as much as it is mine. I can promise you one thing: my days as a (formal) student have finally come to an end!

Portfolio assessment promotes a culture of evidence, evaluates program outcomes, and provides an opportunity to assess the acquisition of knowledge and skills that are not easily assessed by examinations and other traditional assessment methods in nursing curricula. The portfolio program of 1 Midwestern school of nursing recently moved portfolio assessment to the end of program. The process of this change including logistics, rubric development, and lessons learned is highlighted.
