AGAPSS NASPA 2012 Preconference

One Size Does Not Fit All – The Challenge of Assessment in Graduate and Professional Student Services

DATE: Sunday, March 11, 2012
TIME: FULL DAY from 9am-4pm
LOCATION: Phoenix Convention Center *
REGISTER

Presenters: Katie O’Dair, Boston College and Annemieke Rice, StudentVoice

With increasing calls for internal and external accountability, it is imperative that administrators in graduate and professional student services be able to understand and apply assessment practices within their work, to gather evidence on student learning and the student experience. This pre-conference workshop will help participants understand the basic process for assessment planning, will explore learning outcomes development, discuss the political and practical implications of sharing your data, and allow participants to develop an assessment plan of their own.

Background and Workshop Overview

This workshop will essentially be organized in two distinct sessions. The first part of the pre-conference will be focused on Key Issues in Graduate and Professional Student Services, as participants will break out in small groups with structured discussions being led by a facilitator. The critical issues will be identified prior to the conference through polling the AGAPSS constituency. Each group will generate key points, resources, and best practices through a template. 

Itinerary

TBA

* We weren't able to get an off-site location this year, but having the Pre-Con in the convention center allows easy transition to the main speaker event.
