We invite you to form teams of 2-4 people who are within your department, division, or program and join this assessment faculty learning community together. This opportunity is open to anyone on campus interested in assessment. Teams will utilize two texts (Degrees That Matter: Moving Higher Education to a Learning Systems Paradigm, and Meaningful and Manageable Program Assessment: A How-To Guide for Higher Education Faculty) and connect with the UW Assessment Coordinators throughout this experience. Expected outcomes include: develop a program assessment plan, establish or revise rubrics, create curriculum maps, and build a culture of assessment.
