PARTICIPANTS QUALITATIVE FEEDBACK Question No. 9: Need to cultivate new assessment leaders at the college. We are struggling to identify and nurture faculty champions for this work. However, this is outside the scope of this workshop.
PARTICIPANTS QUALITATIVE FEEDBACK Question No. 10: Very productive day. We came up with a clear path to move forward. We came up with a plan to assess our written communication general education outcome and we have [already] started preliminary conversation with the president and provost. We are currently preparing for a NECHE self-study and visit and will apply much of the objectives, goals and timetable developed at the workshop. We developed goals and have already started working on [them]. We are taking the work we developed and are using it to help the faculty assessment process. Will use what we learned to continue to support the development of assessment plans and practices for our graduate program.
