Overview of Assessment

The Assessment Process

A well-designed assessment process will include the following activities:

  1. Define learning goals and objectives.
  2. Align curriculum with goals.
  3. Identify instruments and measures.
  4. Collect, analyze and disseminate assessment data.
  5. Use assessment data for continuous improvement. 

When designing an assessment process to evaluate student learning, the following questions must be addressed:

  • What will our students learn in our program?
  • What are our expectations?
  • How will they learn it?
  • How will we know they have learned it?  (evidence)
  • What will we do if they haven’t learned it?
