AALHE 2017 Annual Conference

ENCORE SESSION:  Student learning outcomes assessment is critical. The goal of assessment is to provide a systematic process for faculty and staff to make better decisions about student learning. Though assessment practice is increasingly prevalent, clear expectations for what constitutes quality assessment are less common. Less common still is the use of assessment results to actually make pedagogical or curricular changes to enhance student learning. In this session, we will describe resources that have augmented faculty development in the area of assessment. We will also lead a discussion to spark productive, solutions-focused dialogue on building a culture of student learning improvement.
