Description

Learn about best practices and winning assessment strategies from our expert users and VIPs⁠—Very Important Partners! Get a chance to have thought leadership discussions with these amazing colleagues and exchange battle stories from the field.

This particular event will focus on the implementation of Comprehensive Learner Record; who needs to be involved, what data needs to be collected and included, and the process and strategy for moving a CLR initiative ahead at a large R1 university. In addition, Steven will discuss how data collected for the CLR will also be used for continuous improvement efforts including HLC accreditation self-study reporting.

Key Takeaways

It is our goal to provide the audience with the following intended key takeaways:

1. Identify strategies for beginning a CLR initiative at your institution
2. Determine what stakeholders need to be involved and ways to engage them in the process
3. Design a blueprint with key components, instruments and timeline for rolling out your CLR initiative
