Hello A-Team Members! We hope you have all transitioned well to the start of the fall semester, the return of our students and the return to campus for some of us. Since A-Team is not currently meeting in person we want to provide you with some FREE resources to keep you thinking of ways to continue your assessment projects or possibly even begin new ones.

"Non-Classroom Assessment: Leading by Example"

Register Here (don't forget to sign up for your free membership first)

Two non-classroom departments from a small technical college share their experiences in helping to lead a shift in thinking about assessment for non-classroom units on campus. Both areas, the campus library and campus auxiliary services, have high student impact in their services but are not seen as traditionally academic when it comes to campus assessment efforts. See how these two units re-worked their assessment plans from the mission out to achieve actionable, attainable practices.

Check out NASPA Region II's video on "Marie Kondo Your Data – Tidy Assessment”.  Less than 10 minutes!  This video recording from July 27, 2020 is a good reminder of how, what and why we need good data to make informed decisions.
