Faculty Collaboration

Faculty collaboration on outcomes assessment is an essential element to ensuring continuous improvement and overall student success. Some of the leading experts in higher education outcomes assessment weigh in here:

"...assessment demands collective discipline and hard collaborative work from faculty" and

"Especially important for continuous improvement... is the need to create concrete opportunities for faculty and staff to look at disaggregated data together to discuss what the data mean and to consider what particular action implications they might have."

-Peter Ewell

Creating a culture of assessment is "moving from a culture of silos to one of collaboration."

-Linda Suskie

"The components of a culture of engagement are collaboration, honesty, and focus on monitoring and/or improving."

-Charles Blaich

So how do we go about building a culture of engagement around assessment? Below are some resources to help address that question.
