The Southern Education Foundation announces its upcoming MSI Student Learning Outcomes Institute to be held February 2-4, 2012 at the Grand Hyatt-Atlanta. In addition to the goal of increasing degree productivity in the U.S. are concerns about being able to demonstrate what students actually know and are able to do upon graduation. SEF is leading the way for MSIs that play a vital role in the nation's degree completion agenda but like all institutions must improve their ability to measure and demonstrate student learning on their campuses.
On Thursday February 2, 2012 from 8:30am to 4:30pm SEF and the Association for Institutional Research (AIR) will co-host an IPEDS Data and Benchmarking Workshop designed to improve uses of student data and measurements of institutional effectiveness. With support from the National Center for Educational Statistics, SEF is partnering with AIR to offer this workshop specifically for Institutional Researchers at MSIs. The Student Learning Outcomes Institute will begin with an opening dinner at 7:00pm February 2nd and conclude Saturday February 4th at 2:00pm. SEF has invited campuses to send three-member teams to participate (the chief academic officer, the institutional effectiveness/research officer, and a key faculty member).
The Southern Education Foundation is the nation's oldest education nonprofit and has for over 145 years made significant contributions to improving education at all levels, from pre-kindergarten through higher education. In the face of calls for greater accountability aimed at colleges and universities SEF's efforts will help affirm, with greater evidence, the outsized contributions MSIs make to students and the critically important role they play in achieving the nation's educational goals.
