Making the Peaks Higher: Improving Curricular Outcomes Department by Department

Are there ways to design useful and meaningful departmental assessment processes? How can assessment processes guide planning for programmatic change? How can the assessment narrative of one department inform others’ assessment plan, implementation, analysis, and decision-making?    To answer these questions (and more), please join the H&S Assessment Committee as they partner with the Center for Faculty Excellence to host a working lunch centered on departmental assessment processes.  This workshop will be facilitated by H&S faculty from Politics, Art, and Biology, as well as members of the H&S Assessment Committee.

All faculty are invited to come and discuss the why, what and how of programmatic assessment that matters. It is an opportunity to work alongside other H&S faculty members on assessment challenges.  Faculty are invited to come and workshop any topic, including:

  • Using assessment to improve the curriculum

  • Creating student learning objectives

  • Creating rubrics to assess student learning

  • Curricular mapping

  • Navigating Taskstream
