Lunch Forum
October 18, 2011
For nearly three decades, educators have grappled with the role of assessment in higher education. Throughout this period, institutional responses have been shaped by the inherent tension between two purposes of assessment: accountability and improvement.
 Please join this year’s faculty assessment fellows for a luncheon conversation about the current state of assessment in higher education. Drawing from a set of readings by Peter Ewell, Peggy Maki, and the Higher Learning Commission, as well as faculty perspectives and experiences, we’ll explore ideas about how educators can respond to calls for greater accountability while retaining our focus on learning that matters.
