Assessment Implementation Teams

The Assessment Implementation Teams are critical to the 03-04 Assessment Initiative (AI). Each Implementation Team functions as the student learning assessment leadership body within the school/college.  Faculty team members help further assessment practices within the school/college, promote the use of student learning assessment for program improvement, and are engaged in student learning assessment within their own departments. 
 
Each Implementation Team comprises:

• the Dean
  
• the Associate Dean (oversees his/her implementation team)
  
• a lead faculty person (Implementation Team Leader)
  
• faculty from departments (Implementation Team Members)
  
• one Assessment Initiative Graduate Assistant (funding shared between Assessment Initiative and the respective school/college)

Assessment Resource Network (ARN) comprises the Associate Deans and Implementation Team Leaders from each school/college in addition to the supporting Assessment Initiative Adminstrative Team. The role of the ARN is to stay involved with the big picture regarding student learning assessment, Program Review and accreditation while providing leadership at the school/college/program level. The ARN serves to (1) provide a place for Implementation Teams to learn from each other; and to (2) provide updates on assessment, accreditation and program review.
