Enhancing Excellence in Assessment
Assessing for Equity:
Using Assessment to Promote Diversity and Equitable Outcomes in Education
 

This one-day workshop on assessing for equity will focus on utilizing assessment to promote diversity and equitable outcomes on campuses. Workshops will be offered in three regional locations and will have a similar agenda, with variations based upon regional interests and events. A feature presentation will explore the linkages between SUNY expectations, Middle States Accreditation and meeting local goals, expectations, and experiences measuring student success as well as achievement of outcomes aligned with the institutional missions. Presenters will discuss examples of their experiences with accessibility, accountability, equity, inclusion, and/or social justice as related to student success. They will highlight the need for further discussion, collaboration and intentional planning to implement promising practices that promote the equitable achievement of outcomes. The program will also emphasize active engagement and interdepartmental collaboration, allowing participants to examine and reflect on their current practices while exploring SUNY Initiatives and resources as well as other potential opportunities to network and continue their work with others. Participants are encouraged to consider the current or changing demographics of their institutions as methods for disaggregating assessment data are explored. Examples of work currently underway will be provided for participants to bring back to their institutions.

Participants will:

  • Understand the changing demographics of their institutions and methods for disaggregating assessment data.
  • Identify strategies, techniques and promising practices that promote equitable achievement of outcomes.
  • Discuss strategies to promote, engage and assess student success on their campuses.
  • Collaborate interdepartmentally to discuss trends and assessment practices.
  • Examine and reflect on their current practices while exploring SUNY Initiatives and resources, potential opportunities and networking with others.

    Sponsored by: SUNY Council on Assessment (SCoA) in partnership with the SUNY Center for Professional Development (CPD).
