morning session

Institutional Effectiveness & Assessment

1 – 2pm Foundations of Program Assessment

Description: Does your department offer a degree or certificate, perhaps many? If yes, you’ll know the joy of working on program assessment this semester! Even if your department doesn’t offer its own programs, you likely teach courses that are part of multidisciplinary programs. We invite all departments to send one or two representatives to this session to learn the foundations and discover the supports available. We promise two things: it’s not as hard as you think it might be, and it’s very useful for your department! Please join us for this session and support this work, which is critical to Laney’s accreditation status.
