Assessment Planning Workshops and Consultation Services
The Assessment Working Group is an advisory group of ASU faculty who are recognized for their expertise in the use of assessment to improve student learning. Members of this group are working with UOEEE staff to schedule a series of walk-in assessment workshops and consultations on each campus.
We will update the schedule below as we schedule additional sessions.
We are also available for one-on-one consultations by e-mail, by telephone, or in person. To arrange a consultation, please contact us at assessment@asu.edu or 480-965-0674.

Program Assessment
The University Office of Evaluation and Educational Effectiveness (UOEEE) consults with academic units as they develop and implement strategies to measure student learning at the program level. Strategies include the identification of learning outcomes, the means for measuring student learning on those outcomes, and follow-up activities to review and act on assessment data. The purpose of these efforts is to provide information that can be used to improve student learning. The primary goal is the improvement of student learning, not accountability.
Fall 2009 Assessment Planning
All units must submit assessment plans no later than November 30, 2009. A representative from each college has been provided access to SharePoint site where a submission template and instructions can be found.
An assessment plan must be submitted for each undergraduate, graduate, and professional program (major, minor, certificate) offered by your unit. A complete listing for each unit is provided on the SharePoint site, and on the assessment template.
Each assessment plan will consist of the following elements:
- Mission statement for the college
- Mission statement for the division/school/department
- Two program outcomes
- Two measures for each outcome. For each outcome, at least one of the measures must be a direct measure. The second may be direct or indirect.
- At least one performance criterion for each measure.
Please contact Wanda Baker at (480) 965-0674 with any questions or to request assistance with your assessment planning activities.
When your assessment plan has been submitted, you should begin to collect data on the measures identified in that plan. All data must be collected by the end of the 2009-10 academic year. Assessment reports will be due in September 2010. The reporting template and full instructions will be available on this site in early 2010.
