Commission for Assessment and Evaluation
Monday, 25 March 2019 - 2:45pm
The Student Affairs Assessment Institute provides a curricular experience where participants can develop essential assessment knowledge and skills for their professional toolkit. This year, ACPA and the Commission for Assessment and Evaluation is pleased to partner with CACUSS, the Canadian Association of College and University Student Services. Some key features of the Institute include:
Socially Just Assessment & Decolonization
Supporting the vision of ACPA’s Strategic Imperative for Racial Justice and Decolonization and CACUSS’s focus on supporting Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples outlined by the Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Report, the 2019 Assessment Institute embeds the values and practices of equity and decolonization within the curriculum. Core sessions to the curriculum include sessions Decolonized Truth about Assessment, Social Justice & Data Analysis, Indigenous Methodology, and Critical Approaches to Data Analysis.
Track Sessions
Track sessions provide a curriculum-driven approach to developing an assessment plan, collecting data, and synthesizing and using results for those conducting Program and Service Assessment or Coordinating Assessment in a Department or Division. The Institute provides a balance of instruction and hands-on experience designed to ensure attendees leave with the assessment skills and knowledge necessary to develop and execute quality assessment plans on their campuses. One to one consultation will be available throughout the Institute, as will opportunities for peer learning
Pre-Conference
We are excited to host three pre-conference sessions on July 9th. Topics include Program Review, Assessment 101 and, Assessing a Curricular Approach.
Join us in Toronto, Ontario, Canada this summer from July 9 – 12. For information and registration:
