Assessment of student learning has been an important component of regional accreditation since 1986. Some 30 years later, faculty still lack the knowledge and training necessary to fully comprehend the benefits of assessment for their teaching and student learning. As content experts, faculty can typically articulate what they want their students to know or be able to do when they complete a program. However, faculty may not see the connection between teaching, learning, and program assessment. As a result, we have specifically identified use of data for improvement of student learning as an opportunity for improvement at our institution. This workshop will present faculty and staff with strategies when working with faculty to develop methods for effectively using data to improve student learning.
