Professional Development
Innovate. Assess. Improve.
The Office of Assessment and Program Review offers a range of professional development opportunities designed to support faculty and academic programs in advancing meaningful assessment practices. Through workshops, training sessions, and grant opportunities, we collaborate with educators to strengthen the assessment of student learning, promote continuous improvement, and enhance educational effectiveness across the university.
See below to explore our current opportunities for hands-on training and interactive workshops designed to support effective assessment practices and promote continuous improvement in teaching and learning.
Upcoming
Workshops and Events
Join us for professional development opportunities focused on student learning, assessment, and academic excellence. These sessions offer helpful tools, insights, and opportunities to connect with others across campus.
Mini Grants
Our goal is to support and advance faculty work in assessment of student learning outcomes within academic degree programs, as well as GE and IGE. These mini grants are intended to help faculty engage in sound program-level assessment practices leading to useful results and informed decision-making. Programs are encouraged to build program-level assessment capacity by engaging more than a single faculty.
