OVERVIEW
Assessment is a powerful process which can have many beneficial byproducts for institutional effectiveness and, most importantly, student success. Unfortunately, folks can struggle at the starting point in two big ways. First, they can inexperienced and unsure where (and how) to even start. Second, they can just do the same thing year after year and not accordingly adjust their approach (for a variety of reasons).

This presentation will help folks understand the importance and relevance of intentionally setting foundational elements for assessment practice: instrument selection/design considerations; target/success criteria setting; and planning ahead for data collection, reporting, and taking action. Strategic considerations will be presented in relation to these elements and how success extends beyond assessment to other aspects of institutional activity. In addition to practices and resources shared, time will be allotted for Q&A.
