Assessment, in general, can make a great musical… Come for some comic relief, share your assessment of drama, comedy, and heroic efforts. Let’s discuss how to turn all the drama into a success story!

As your community of practice, AEFIS Academy is launching a four-part series designed to explore and unpack the relationship between Democracy and Assessment. Throughout this series, a variety of thought leaders will come together in conversation around what the current relationship between democracy and assessment entails, what the relationship should or could be, and what the role of assessment might be moving forward to support a productive democracy. As the conversation unfolds, we will invite all participants into group discussion on how we might, as a field, advance assessment for democracy. Please join us because Your Voice Matters!

This particular event will focus on Agile wayfinding and its purpose in institutional planning and assessment processes. University of Maryland Global Campus has a long history of evaluating innovation and using results to guide the next steps. More recently, assessment of student learning has been added to an academic planning process that includes program review, academic scorecards, and external data on labor and competitive markets. This integrated planning process provides faculty and administrators with a comprehensive view of an academic program. Learn how you can apply this approach at your institution.
