OVERVIEW<\/b>
\nCalls for accountability mean more pressure to demonstrate and report on student learning and administrative effectiveness. Student affairs divisions must develop comprehensive, aligned, and organized assessment processes to promote sustainable practices that demonstrate continuous improvement. This webinar focuses on process that look at student learning outcomes and administrative, or support outcomes, within student affairs. It will offer practical information and tools to create measurable goals and outcomes, develop comprehensive assessment practices, and align units with institutional priorities. Through divisional leadership and collaborative efforts between units, institutions can build a solid foundation for assessment across various units in a relatively short period of time. The goal of this webinar will be to present participants with the steps to develop and implement a sustainable assessment framework within student affairs.<\/p>\n

Assessment practices in student affairs is an essential component of any institution\u2019s assessment plan. With the expansion of assessment activities comes an equal growth of concerns about how to development, implement, and maintain systematic assessment. While assessment of student learning has been the focus of higher education, and accreditors, for a long time, there are expectations that faculty and staff will be assessing not only student learning, but the environment that supports student learning. This means understanding and improving the performance of administrative and student support units. In fact, nationally recognized regional accrediting bodies have made it explicitly clear that assessment of student outcomes includes assessment of student learning and assessment of services that support the student learning experience.<\/p>\n

OUTLINE<\/b>
\nThe presenter will briefly present an assessment and planning framework and the Shults Dorim\u00e9-Williams taxonomy to provide context for the session. Participants will be encouraged to consider their own institutional context throughout the webinar. The presenter will then discuss the development, alignment, and implementation of new or revised missions, goals, and outcomes for the division and its units. The next part of the webinar will focus on assessing activities within a unit to examine unit functions as well as student learning outcomes. This portion of the session will highlight various forms of assessment, focus on using single methods to collect data for multiple purposes, and using results to inform changes.<\/p>\n
