The improved model of assessment is a “backwards design” plan to help academic programs and business units reflect on their work, make improvements, be accountable to their constituents, and make data-driven decisions.
What would the improved model include?
What sorts of reporting strategies would it include?
One approach may be to focus on just one of the values of assessment described above and consider how to do just that one thing well. Then you must briefly evaluate how the other values are affected. For example, if you stress reflection on current practice – what would happen to assessment for accountability?
Another approach may be to consider the costs & benefits of current reporting practices. In other words, how much time are such practices taking, and what benefit are we gaining from them? Could there a better way?
