Mission Statement To provide a student-centered Bryant Experience that promotes academic excellence and cultivates the leadership skills, qualities of character and diverse perspectives required to succeed in an age of unlimited global opportunity.

Assessment at Bryant Process not project Value not an outcome Teaching best practice Accountability commitment

Developing & Implementing Assessment Program not faculty being evaluated Need to change faculty perspectives on assessment – not just an overhead task Requires careful design of the structure, process and participation in the assessment Communication of the process – clarifying expectations, tasks, roles and responsibilities Important to have an internal champion

Developing & Implementing Assessment continued More mature process in our College of Business Fewer faculty within each discipline in Arts & Sciences – makes it more difficult Once assessment is routinized need to: – develop a continuous review of relevance and currency of learning goals – identify how to support faculty to improve their teaching – Embrace and encourage the notion of teaching as scholarly work as well as good practice – Institutionalize incentivize and reward the scholarship of teaching and learning

What Are We Doing Now? Are revising our general education foundations curriculum Looking at capstone courses to demonstrate performance on institutional outcomes Longitudinal assessments Developing fluency in assessment languages
