Assessment Academy

The Academy aims to assist HLC – accredited institutions with designing and implementing comprehensive strategies for improving program level assessment. Supported by practitioners and scholars, the Academy provides a framework and guidance for developing a customized assessment project focused on best practices in higher education assessment.  

There are 3 main goals to CNM’s Academy program: 

1. Use the Universal Themes to serve as a framework for faculty professional development at CNM and to promote faculty understanding of the process of student learning and the role that faculty play in that process
2. Develop the role of CNM staff in promoting the Universal Themes as these relate to student activities outside of class (various co-curricular and extracurricular activities, such as participating in student clubs, internships, apprenticeships, job shadowing, community engagement, etc.).
3. Create a user-friendly system for reporting assessment data and promote data as a tool for change and improvement.
