  • Improve your ability to perform high quality self-assessment
  • Learn the design principles and processes for building appropriate assessment systems and data collection tools
  • Embed formative assessment in the design, delivery, and review of a broad range of campus programs

Assessment for Quality Improvement

Improvement-based assessment (also called SII-Assessment) is used to improve quality and is critical for growing life-long learning skills and elevating performance in diverse contexts. However, the value of this kind of assessment is not always apparent, nor is the process always understood. Also, the lack of clarity in higher education between two necessary but complementary processes—evaluation and SII-Assessment—has made the effective use of improvement-based assessment more difficult. A major aim of this event is to build a greater understanding of assessment and its practice, resulting in cultural change at institutions and serving as a catalyst for elevating learning and teaching performance. Participants will develop skills and competencies in recognizing high performance, measuring performance, assessing performance for the purpose of improving performance, growing performance, and evaluating performance not only for themselves and their students, but those who they manage or lead.
