Description
Assessment 201: Advanced Topics in Assessment provides the opportunity to learn about best practices, strategies, and approaches that can take your assessment program to the next level. You will begin by examining your institutional culture of assessment as a foundation for making decisions about assignments, using rubrics, closing the loop, calibrating student evidence, and reporting results. If your efforts are off to a good start but need to advance to the next level,  Assessment 201 will guide your planning efforts.

Workshop Outcomes
Assessment 201 focuses on topics such as the following:

• Determine the culture of assessment at your institution
• Use direct assessment with an inquiry frame
• Engage faculty in the design of assignments/assessments aligned with outcomes and supportive rubrics
• Calibrate reviewers and check for inter-rater reliability
• Engage faculty in reflective practices of assessment
• Close the loop with multiple strategies of inquiry and decision making.
• Integrate best practices into reporting of assessments and making results visible.
• Begin an action plan for advancing assessment at their institutions

Intended Audience

Assessment 201 is suitable for individuals who have already attended Assessment 101, or who have basic knowledge of assessment as well as some experience and are ready to learn more. The workshop will blend brief presentations with interactive exercises so you can practice applying what you’re learning and share experiences with other workshop participants. Before registering, consider which assessment workshop will best meet your needs.
