Creating a Culture of Evidence Among Faculty and Administrators.

Identifying and using best practices in assessment is relatively easy especially in areas driven by accreditation and accountability. We know, or can quickly learn, how to write measurable outcomes, design valid measures, and collect, analyze, and report data to make improvements in our programs. Getting administrators and faculty, in particular, to participate in assessment, value assessment, and use assessment data to improve their programs is a more difficult challenge. We are often advised to seek support from the top but what if assessment is valued as only one of many initiatives? How do assessment professionals develop and invite faculty and administrators into a culture of evidence? The goal of this program is to discuss how we can lead the development of a culture of evidence on our campuses. The presenter will share some observations and lessons learned through experience and encourage others to offer suggestions as well.
