Student learning assessment is not often linked with the word 'inspiring.' This book is truly inspiring and affirming that programs and institutions are finding real value in committing to assessing and improving student learning all across the United States. It puts to shame the occasional naysayers that assessment is of no value. The stories and case studies presented here cover a useful range of experiences across a diverse group of institutions showing that assessment can be done thoughtfully and with impact. There is so much to learn here with so many helpful approaches that address not only how to undertake assessment but to identify steps to success. It is definitely a good read at all levels within institutions., Exemplars in Assessment celebratesinstitutional and program success as measured by authentic assessment andstudent learning, providing a welcome respite from a national higher educationenvironment that so often equates higher education's success solely withstudent loan metrics and graduation rates. It illustrates cooperation,partnership, and shared purpose among accreditors and the institutions andprograms that they accredit. Faculty, administrators, and accreditors will findideas and inspiration from others who have gone before on the assessmentjourney., Souza and Rose have produced a wonderful and much-needed volume that engages practitioners in bringing the oft-describedassessment for accountability together with assessment for improvement inlearning. By focusing on the major regional accreditors' standards forassessment of student learning and then examining how a diverse set of campusesand programs use those standards, they illustrate how their actions andpolicies to achieve improved student learning provide the evidence thataccreditors need for summative assurance of quality standards. A truly welcomechange from check-the-box routines that may satisfy the minimum reportrequirements but do not help students, faculty, or organizations achievequality., Souza and Rose have produced a wonderful and much-needed volume that engages practitioners in bringing the oft-described assessment for accountability together with assessment for improvement in learning.

A truly welcome change from check-the-box routines that may satisfy the minimum report requirements but do not help students, faculty, or organizations achieve quality., The authors emphasize the notion that there is no one right way to do assessment with the breadth of institutional examples featured in this book. Tackling the tension of accountability and improvement head-on, the editors allow each institution to lay bare their own institutional assessment story and discuss future directions of assessing student learning within their context. By collaborating with accreditors to spotlight institutions with effective assessment approaches, AALHE might just be on to something--envisioning accreditors as partners in this work., If I were granted one wish,it would be that all of higher education would better use assessment data toguide the ongoing enhancement of student learning. Exemplars of Assessment in Higher Education shows us how meaningfulassessment can help to guide us as we work to ensure that our students arelearning what we promise in our institutional or program mission statements.Whether you are a faculty member, an assessment professional, or anadministrator, this book shows how the assessment process can provide a roadmapto institutional effectiveness and is, most certainly, a wish come true., If I were granted one wish, it would be that all of higher education would better use assessment data to guide the ongoing enhancement of student learning.

Synopsis
This book is a publication of the Association for the Assessment of Learning in Higher Education (AALHE), an organization of practitioners interested in using effective assessment practice to document and improve student learning., Colleges and universities struggle to understand precisely what is being asked for by accreditors, and this book answers that question by sharing examples of success reported by schools specifically recommended by accreditors., Co-published with "While assessment may feel to constituents like an activity of accountability simply for accreditors, it is most appropriate to approach assessment as an activity of accountability for students. Assessment results that improve institutional effectiveness, heighten student learning, and better align resources serve to make institutions stronger for the benefit of their students, and those results also serve the institution or program well during the holistic evaluation required through accreditation." - from the foreword by Heather Perfetti, President of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education Colleges and universities struggle to understand precisely what is being asked for by accreditors, and this book answers that question by sharing examples of success reported by schools specifically recommended by accreditors. This compendium gathers examples of assessment practice in twenty-four higher education institutions: twenty-three in the U.S. and one in Australia. All institutions represented in this book were suggested by their accreditor as having an effective assessment approach in one or more of the following assessment focused areas: assessment in the disciplines, co-curricular, course/program/institutional assessment, equity and inclusion, general education, online learning, program review, scholarship of teaching and learning, student learning, or technology. These examples recommended by accrediting agencies makes this a unique contribution to the assessment literature. The book is organized in four parts. Part One is focused on student learning and assessment and includes ten chapters. The primary focus for Part Two is student learning assessment from a disciplinary perspective and includes four chapters. Part Three has a faculty engagement and assessment focus, and Part Four includes four chapters on institutional effectiveness and assessment, with a focus on strategic planning. This book is a publication of the Association for the Assessment of Learning in Higher Education (AALHE), an organization of practitioners interested in using effective assessment practice to document and improve student learning.
