In
order to be responsive to the varying experiences of participants,
the Assessment of Academic Advising Institute offers instructional
levels:
Foundational
Level – This level will focus on developing or enhancing
the mission statement, vision statement, and goals and objectives
which will launch the participants into the development of student
learning outcomes and process/delivery outcomes. These are the foundations
of assessment.
Conceptual
Level – This level will focus on the outcomes and
the details of the assessment plan. It encompasses mapping the outcomes
to identify when, where, and by whom the outcomes will be facilitated;
how to measure the outcomes; and developing a structure for your
assessment process such as timing, formats, sample size, etc. The
outcomes are a key to conceptualizing an assessment plan that focuses
on learning.
Operational
Level – This level will focus on data collected
from the assessment process. It will cover interpretation and dissemination
of data for revisions to the advising program, policy analysis,
resource allocation, etc. It will focus on continuing the assessment
process beyond one cycle to enhance teaching and learning within
academic advising. It focuses on how to operationalize what is learned
from the assessment process into the advising process.
The
Assessment Cycle
One
key component of the NACADA Assessment Institute is The
Assessment Cycle (Maki, Assessing for Learning). Various
aspects of the cycle are introduced and discussed through
plenary and faculty cohort sessions. During these sessions,
strategies are presented that offer tools for developing
and implementing your advising assessment plan.
