From insights to impact: Reynolds Community College’s blueprint for student-centered assessment
What To Expect
Student learning is at the heart of every college mission, but how do you effectively measure and improve it? Join us for an in-depth look at how Reynolds Community College has leveraged Watermark to create a robust, faculty-led assessment model.
For the past few years, Reynolds has used a structured, data-driven approach to enhance student success. This webinar will walk through their journey, focusing on how department chairs have strengthened their ability to:
- Refine student learning outcomes and ensure they are measurable and relevant.
- Map curriculum to assessment data, building a clear picture of student progress.
- Implement data-informed changes that directly enhance learning, support strategic planning, and guide resource allocation.
You’ll hear how the practice of “program health storytelling” helps them bring these efforts to life, turning raw data into compelling narratives that support evidence-based decision-making for SACSCOC compliance.
