Reporting Your Assessment

Growing up in Florida, theme parties were all the rage.  I attended lots of water themed parties – often dressed as a sea creature or mermaid.  In high school we would have themed days for service to the community or activities like Grandparents day, Band Parent Day, and Super Hero Day (you can guess who I dressed up as).

I don’t see much emphasis on themes now, but I would like to bring back this proud tradition from my youth and propose one for the January Assessment World Café – Reporting Our Assessment!  Now there is a theme I can really support.  You’ve heard me say repeatedly that assessment reports provide a roadmap for curriculum decision and changes made in your courses/classroom, while providing my office with data to tell the story of student learning at the College.

So as you are working on your assessment plans this Fall and Spring semester; plan now to attend the World Café and deliberate as a faculty what the assessment data in your discipline is telling you.  We’ll provide the report forms, pencils, and food.  You come ready to tell your story.

World Cafe is Friday, January 10, 2018. Please contact Liz Loomis x3646 in our office to reserve a table for your department AND complete the registration process by having all departmental participants register online using CRN 30137.
