Use of Assessment Findings

Each Assessment Plan should include strategies for using the assessment findings to improve student learning. It is important to develop a clear strategy for sharing and acting on assessment findings.

  • Many programs have found success by scheduling an annual meeting (perhaps at a department or program retreat) where assessment results are shared and possible improvements are considered

  • Many programs also share and discuss results with the program curriculum committee on a regular basis

  • Some departments and programs have developed assessment committees that oversee assessment and develop recommendations for improvement
