Results

Assessment results are meant to improve teaching and learning as well as inform planning and decision making.

Results can highlight successes such as these:

• better alignment of the curriculum with desired outcomes;
• creation of useful rubrics;
• development of explicit standards and corresponding samples of student work (“anchors”);
• evidence that students are meeting or exceeding learning expectations.

The following are examples of colleagues using their assessment results to improve teaching and learning. These assessments were honored at the “2019-2020 Faculty Showcase for Improving Student Learning” on March 4, 2020.
