Assessment Pillar

Assessment of teaching and learning includes strategies that…
- Provide and rely on clear explanations of standards/criteria for good teaching and learning, such as using clear rubrics.
- Address the structure for teaching and learning, including the review and revision of instruction.
- Address student learning outcomes, including assessment of student mastery in both lower and higher level thinking and skills.
- Integrate and document critical self-reflection.
- Allow students, faculty, and staff to obtain and provide feedback that is nonjudgmental and includes suggestions for improvement with sufficient time and opportunities to make suggested improvements (i.e. formative assessment).
- Encourage faculty and staff to engage in scholarly teaching that incorporates systematic methods, literature, and data-driven methods.
- Recognize the importance and effects of teaching context (e.g., online, experiential).
- Result in alignment of learning outcomes within a course and within an educational program.
- Shares evidence of student learning to cultivate a culture of improvement.
