Dear Faculty & Staff Colleagues, 

Please join us at the Spring Assessment Workshop on Wednesday, April 19, 2023.  

The workshop will be held during common time (10:55 – 11:55 a.m.) in the Hicks Student Center Banquet Hall.  

Jessica Fowle will describe an ongoing assessment project in the Grants, Scholarships and Fellowships Office. We will then utilize workshop time to practice making an assessment rubric for the learning outcomes she describes using student work samples. If you have an assessment project of your own that you’d like to work on with colleagues, feel free to bring that too! We also plan a brief presentation to highlight the assessment activities at K over the past year.   

We think this workshop will be an especially helpful and time-efficient way for department chairs, directors and others responsible for unit-level assessment to leverage the power of the campus-wide assessment community. 

A few more important details: 

1. Brunch Buffet featuring cinnamon rolls will be provided at the workshop, and participants are invited to attend as much or as little of the hour as their schedule allows. 
2. To help with planning, please RSVP for the Workshop by 4:00 p.m. Monday, April 17. 
3. Visit the Institutional Assessment webpage to read more about the work of the Assessment Academy and preview the ILO rubrics. 

Assessment Brunch – Learning Outcomes

Finally, assessment begins with stating goals and desired outcomes:

1. Participants will understand the assessment framework of Outcomes — Observations — Conclusions
2. Participants will practice creating a rubric for a stated learning outcome using specific student work products
3. Participants will know about assessment work and achievements at K during the past year
