About the Workshop

Your assessments have been conducted. Your students have finished tests, assignments, and surveys. Faculty have evaluated student work. Now what?

In this workshop, we will…

• Discuss the many ways to set standards for interpreting assessment results, including the pros and cons of “value added” and “comparable” benchmarks.
• Explore ways to share assessment results in clear and useful ways with your assessment’s audiences.
• Focus on using assessment results to improve teaching and learning.
• Review MSCHE’s expectations regarding student learning assessment and how to share your assessment results with the Commission.

Presentations on each of these topics will be interspersed with small group hands-on exercises that will let you think about and practice what you’re learning.
