Assessment: The Musical!

Lightning Talks are short, targeted presentations that provide insight into best practices, challenges, and successes in assessment. Listen in as some of the greatest minds and thought leaders share authentic assessment processes, continuous improvement stories, and innovative approaches toward lifelong learning and student success.

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.

This presentation focuses on the collaboration between the Greater Washington Partnership, a civic alliance of employers and higher education institutions in the Capital Region, from Baltimore to Richmond. One of the higher education institutions in the Partnership is the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. They are collaborating to address the talent gaps in the region by preparing learners with the digital skills needed by the 21st Century Workforce. Listen in to their strategic approach to providing learners with programs and stackable credentials yielding skills linked to specific skills essential to employers.
