Overview
Accreditation is sometimes viewed separately from assessment, with accreditation, having a decidedly summative focus and assessment having more of an improvement, formative focus. This distinction interferes with sending a clear message to student affairs professionals that the formative, improvement purpose is what the institution values. In this workshop, student affairs and assessment professionals will understand how to combine the two purposes to gain both the information needed for accreditation and information needed to improve student outcomes. Clearly defined outcomes, necessary to identify valid measures for either purpose, will be discussed. The importance of designing and aligning programs, delivery methods, and measures to foster these outcomes also will be discussed.
Objectives
Participants will understand that validity considerations must drive the selection of measures for both summative and formative purposes. They will learn when an external standardized instrument is appropriate to measure learning outcomes. They will learn why surveys are typically inadequate for eitherpurpose and why it is necessary to specifically define outcomes.
Who should attend?
Student affairs professionals, those new to assessment, or assessment administrators hoping to select or develop valid measures for assessment purposes.

What is a webinar?
A webinar is an interactive seminar conducted over the web and is typically 1.5 to 2 hours long.
- What is the process? Webinar participants log into the webinar site with a username and password sent via email. Participants can print handouts, as we send you a link to the presentation via email approximately 2 days prior to the event. Once logged in, you are able to see the PowerPoint slides, ask questions and make comments via chat, very similar to instant messaging.
- Is there a recording available? Approximately one week after the conclusion of the webinar, you will receive a link to the recording which is yours for one year and can be forwarded to all faculty and staff at your institution for viewing anytime, anywhere.
- What equipment is required? An Internet connection, computer speakers and LCD projector if a large group is present.
What are the benefits of a webinar?
- Cost-Effective: No travel required. Webinars are an innovative way to provide your entire faculty and staff with a variety of professional development opportunities for one low price! The more you train - the more you save, as the registration fee is per institution, not per person.
- Easy: You will receive a detailed list of instructions via email a week prior to the event. And if you run into any problems, we're always here to help.
- Interactive: Chat online with presenters, participate in online polling questions, discuss specific situations with your colleagues, and receive implementation strategies for your campus (included when appropriate). You can even join a discussion group to continue the discussion with the presenter and webinar participants. Join discussion groups at www.weeklyinnovations.org.
- Practical: Our training sessions focus on the most critical and relevant issues facing educators today. Our primary goal is to provide participants with the information, training and skills necessary to immediately implement positive change at their institutions.
- Top-Notch Speakers: Our speakers are subject matter experts and recognized in their field.
- Value Added: When you purchase a webinar, you also receive access to the recording, which is good for one year. You can use it wherever and as often as you want, offering consistent training to your faculty and staff.
How will we use these trainings?
- Flexible Training:
- Live: Promote and attend a live webinar and debrief immediately following.
- Hybrid: Distribute a recording to all faculty and staff at the beginning of each month and plan a discussion session at the end of the month to determine how you will implement the strategies presented.
- On-Demand: Distribute a recording to faculty and staff so they can watch anytime, anywhere. Contact Innovative Educators at val@ieinfo.org, and we will create an online discussion group specifically for your institution at no extra charge.
- In-Service Training: Plan an in-service around a live webinar or schedule a day and time to show the recording in a lecture hall or large conference room and invite faculty and staff to attend - brainstorm and discuss implications for your college.
- Staff Recognition: Develop a program around the webinar with monthly themes and recognize the staff members that implement the best idea related to the theme.
- Team-Building: Utilize these webinars to develop cross-functional and cross-discipline teams to foster collegiality.
