Navigating Accreditation Standards for Student Learning Assessment: What is Your Role?
How do your efforts to measure and improve student learning contribute to UMBC’s accreditation requirements? What is the relationship between student learning assessment and accreditation? What are the standards and expectations that guide educators to implement useful assessment plans and processes? Currently, the UMBC community is exploring this question at the institutional level through the Middle States self-study process. Similarly, at the program level, numerous departments seek and sustain disciplinary specific accreditation, for example from ABET, the Council on Social Work Education, and the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation. Peggy Re (Provost’s Office and VART), Maria Sanchez (COEIT), and Vickie Williams (EDUC) will enlighten us about how these continuous improvement requirements support student-centered learning at UMBC and show how course-level direct measure evidence forms the centerpiece of acceptable evidence.

Sessions in this series are designed to help you to reflect on challenges in collegiate teaching and how you, in your role as a formal or informal leader at UMBC, can contribute to innovative solutions. Faculty and staff colleagues will address specific challenges in interactive presentations designed to help you explore key questions, for example:
- How can you use research to improve teaching, learning, and curriculum design?
- How can you connect to other teaching leaders to identify common challenges and devise shared solutions?
- How can you contribute to a collaborative culture of evidence-based teaching to improve student learning?
- How can you identify policies, processes, and technologies that make it easier to gather and use evidence of student learning?
- Are chairs, deans, graduate program directors, or have formal leadership roles, or
- Have informal leadership roles or who aspire to be campus leaders.
