Assessment Workshops and Walk-ins

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in upcoming assessment workshops and walk-in meetings. 

The Workshops:

The workshops are designed to provide training and support for faculty and staff engaged in the assessment of student learning or program effectiveness. Generally, by the end of the session most participants will have developed a plan or draft. In the workshop, the facilitator will describe elements of a feasible plan, provide tips and strategies, and attendees will spend time creating a plan for their program. 

Workshop outcomes:

1. You will be able to explain the role of learning outcomes and write them well

2. You will leave with a plan to move assessment forward in your program

Level: Beginner

Who should attend: This workshop is designed for faculty and staff who are responsible for creating program outcomes and assessment plans. 

What to bring: Anything that may be helpful, including: statements describing what students or customers should be able to do when they leave your program; program accreditation requirements, course outcomes, brochures and catalog descriptions; reports, objectives or outcomes developed for a similar unit at another institution; and professional organization standards or recommendations.
