 Baruch’s Office of Academic Assessment is conducting a workshop on data-driven decision making. All staff and faculty are welcome to attend:

Assessment Workshop
Data Driven Decision Making

Tuesday, February 24th, 11am-12:30pm, Newman Library Building, Room 755

Assessment of academic programs and student learning has become increasingly important. While it is generally acknowledged that assessment of student learning should be carried out, making productive use of results is often a challenge. Faculty and administrators struggle to translate data into practical strategies that improve student learning outcomes. This presentation will introduce participants to ways that assessment can be used to shape policies that have impact on student outcomes.

You will leave the workshop able to:

• Cite examples of how to use both quantitative and qualitative data to guide decision making
• Understand the importance of analyzing data relevant to the needs of diverse student populations

·         Explain the importance of disseminating assessment information to various stakeholders, including students and faculty

• Think strategically about how to implement student support strategies using assessment data
