Assessment Leadership Council Purpose Statement
The RFUMS Assessment Leadership Council will facilitate continuous quality improvement for student learning through the following goals and activities:
- Facilitate a renewed focus on assessment for student learning by providing opportunities for faculty to share with each other how they do assessment including their successes, challenges, and lessons learned as a community of practice.
- Provide encouragement, support, and opportunities for faculty to learn more about how to use assessment data once it is collected.
- Assist in the planning and delivery of special faculty development programs related to academic assessment.
- Serve as an advisory group for ways to recognize programs that are doing excellent assessment work and use the results for continuous quality improvement.
- Promote the mapping, assessment, and integration of IPEC competencies for university-wide assessment across all degree programs.
- Share resource information with the university community about assessment tools and software, e.g. Examsoft.
- Provide leadership for each academic program to develop and implement a Continuous Quality Leadership (CQL) approach to program accreditation standards, many of which are linked to student learning and success.
