Faculty object to assessments for any number of reasons. They’re intrusive; they’re tedious; they attempt to quantify the unquantifiable. You know the litany.
But you also know how important assessments are–not only for improving learning outcomes, but for providing the metrics your institution needs to maintain accountability, ensure accreditation and secure funding.
So … how do you bridge the gap between faculty attitudes and institutional imperatives? How do you encourage people to see assessments not as painful obligations but as important opportunities?
You can gain valuable insight–and answers to those questions–with this seminar program.
The Keys to a Culture of Assessment: Value and Respect will show you how to change the mindset on your campus, and encourage faculty to embrace the assessment process. Led by Linda Suskie, Vice President at the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and a 30-year veteran of college and university administration, this 90-minute audio presentation provides a roadmap to success.
You’ll learn how to:
• Make a convincing case for assessment’s importance and value.
• Gauge the level of resistance to assessment among faculty.
• Respect the history and values of your institution in the process.
• Maintain an emphasis on faculty empowerment and respect for their teaching styles.
• Win program support by building flexibility into expectations and approaches.
• Create assessments that encourage innovation and risk-taking.
• Simplify the assessment process and ease the administrative burden.
• Provide infrastructure and resources to support professional development.
• Build a strong assessment team.
• Develop meaningful incentives for improving disappointing assessment results.
• And more.
