(WASHINGTON) Today the New Leadership Alliance for Student Learning and Accountability released Committing to Quality: Guidelines for Assessment and Accountability, endorsed by NASPA and designed to help colleges and universities improve the quality of a college degree.
The publication asks colleges to take responsibility for assessing and improving student learning — to set clear goals for student achievement, regularly gather and use evidence that measures performance against those goals, report evidence of student learning, and continuously work to improve results.
"Since publication of Learning Reconsidered, NASPA has been working with faculty and staff alike to better identify, measure, and improve student learning inside and outside of the classroom," said NASPA Executive Director Gwendolyn Jordan Dungy. "We are pleased to endorse this newest step in continuing to improve the quantity and quality of degrees in seeking to reach the President's 2020 goal."
