Look at the cute little baby assessment lion

You just have to knowhow to tame it

1. Define student success.2. Set Goals to reach those success benchmarks.3. Use Program-level assessments based on best-

practice.4. Assessment Committees write the assessments

and rubrics based on research on assessment and best practice.

5. Deliver assessments through LMS to remove time constraints from instructors and ensure both online and face-to-face have same instrument and testing conditions.

6. Use a faculty grading party so that all faculty see and discuss the results of the testing.

7. Use an “App” built for the college to enter, organize, calculate, and disseminate the material to all stakeholders with user-level access control.

8. Assessment is everyone’s responsibility and can be done where the burden is equitable and the results are meaningful.

9. We may need to feed red meat to the “lion” (AACSB/HLC) – but assessment is really for US – not the accreditors.

10. It is our business to ensure student learning. We must implement a data-driven and proactive strategy for assessment and understand that it is linked to our mission – educating our students and improving society.
