What You Will Learn
IDEAL focuses on the skills and knowledge you will need to be an effective assessment leader and to manage the change process in your program or college. The Institute will challenge you to think about the assessment of student learning from the program-level or college-level perspective and integrate the basic principles of assessment, change management, and facilitation tools. The activities in the Institute will take you from the basic principles to an understanding of how those principles can be applied in the context of your program/college. Although the primary focus of the Institute will be on developing sound assessment practices, you will learn how to lead others in the process effectively by applying facilitation tools and basic change management principles.
