The primary goal of assessment is improvement, and when done well, assessment benefits faculty, programs, and most importantly, students. However, figuring out how to use assessment for improvement is often the most challenging aspect of the assessment process, especially at the program level.
This session will present attendees with simple, practical ideas for creating program-level assessment plans that are useful, sustainable, and relevant to their disciplines. Attendees will explore best practices for creating assessment timelines and plans, choosing assessment methods that align with the goals of their programs, and designing and embedding value-added assessment into their courses.
Assessment of learning outcomes at the program level does not have to be a complicated process. In this interactive session, attendees will learn about several “no-frills” approaches to various aspects of the assessment process. Participants are encouraged to bring copies of their program’s learning outcomes and curriculum maps to the session.
Join Carrie Allen, Director of Institutional Effectiveness and Assessment for this conversation.
Ask any group of faculty members how they feel about assessment and you will likely hear words such as “tedious,” “busywork,” or “unhelpful.” Although concerns that faculty may have about assessment are real, many of their frustrations stem from misconceptions about what assessment is (and what it isn’t). The first session in this four-part series seeks to dispel common myths about assessment and reframe assessment as a value-adding experience for students, rather than as an administrative burden.
