Assessment Resources for Faculty at Curry College  Tags: assessment higher_education learning_outcomes  

Welcome to our Assessment Resources for Faculty LibGuide!

In collaboration, the Office of Academic Affairs, the Excellence in Teaching Committee, and various Department Chairs and Faculty have assembled this collection of useful resources.  Rather than a comprehensive list of everything out there on assessment (there are plenty of those on the web!), we've brought together here the resources that are best matched to assessment at Curry College.

Please enjoy, and let us know if you have any ideas for additional resources you would like to see on this page.

Levin Library LibGuides provide research assistance, subject guides, and useful resources compiled in collaboration with the Library Faculty.  For more information on setting up a LibGuide for your course or ideas on other uses, please contact the librarians or browse existing course LibGuides.

In 2009-10, Curry Faculty will continue to develop clear and concise learning outcomes for majors, concentrations, minors, and programs.  We will also begin to examine curricula for alignment with outcomes by mapping where learning outcomes are introduced, emphasized or practiced, and mastered or demonstrated.  The resources below address these important next steps in our institution-wide assessment efforts.

With learning outcomes in hand, departments and programs will begin implementing focused assessments to answer key questions about student learning.  The links below offer a variety of methods and techniques, the choice of which depends on the kinds of questions identified as priorities by each discipline, department, or program.  The resources under Student Learning Outcomes also have sections on assessment methods, tools, and techniques.
