5. MU Journey
Faculty discussions at monthly CAEP/continuous improvement meetings about assessments
Have signature assessments in every class, however…
Too many assessments!
Not connected across programs
Reliability issues
Maybe just implement in core courses, however…
What about methods courses, how are they involved?
Too many assessments
Not connected to ‘big picture’ across program
Reliability and validity issues

9. AHA!!!!!! Create fewer assessments Assessments cut across courses
