  The Retreat on Assessment Practice (replaces Level II Retreat) was held October 27-29, 2011, in Berkeley, California.

  The Assessment Practice retreat is co-sponsored by the two postsecondary Commissions of WASC.

Topics included:

  • adapting the campus infrastructure to support the culture of evidence
  • successful strategies for engaging faculty and other campus professionals in assessment
  • a specific assessment study, including description of data collection, data analysis, and the impact of the study
  • incorporating student learning outcomes into program reviews, and
  • assuring the quality of campus assessment

  The retreat was led by nationally acclaimed facilitators Mary Allen and Amy Driscoll. The registration fee was $485 per team member.  Registration deadline was Friday, October 7, 2011.
