Facilitate Assessment Discussions

OIRA offers opportunities to discuss your program’s assessment work in a collaborative setting. We are happy to facilitate discussions on any topic related to assessment that your program may need help with. In the past, we have had meetings that focused on:
-Rubric development
-Rubric calibration
-Program learning outcome development
-Curriculum mapping (competency or experience)
-Identifying key assessments
-Planning data gathering and reporting
-Guidance with reflecting on results
-Curriculum redesign

Roundtable Discussions

Roundtable discussions are a great way to get programs talking with one another about overlapping assessment topics. We encourage programs to come with topics that are specific to your assessment process, but we can also set an agenda for programs that are new to the process.
