AoL Culture Change and Faculty Engagement Seminar (Washington, D.C.)

This seminar will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

Faculty engagement is critical to the effective operation of a meaningful assurance of learning (AOL) process. However, engaging faculty and building a constructive and positive AOL culture is a common challenge faced by schools. 

This seminar will help you develop action plans to engage faculty and create a constructive, meaningful, and sustainable culture of assessment focused on improving students and curricula rather than merely collecting data and drafting reports. Join us to begin developing an action plan to engage your faculty in AOL and build a robust assessment culture.

Learning Objectives

• Identify strengths and weaknesses in your current AoL system and process
• Understand the causes of faculty resistance to assessment and create action plans to address them
• Develop skills to become more efficient in AoL
• Recognize ways to utilize effective messaging to your faculty
