How University of Alabama reimagined assessment with a data-first mindset

What To Expect

Continuous improvement requires curiosity, an open mind, and the willingness to evolve your approach along the way. The University of Alabama’s assessment practice is built around a guiding purpose of student-centered, meaningful change.

To support their mission, the team sought out a suite of tools that would not only simplify data collection and enable effective reporting, but also create space for deeper analysis and thoughtful reflection. The end result? A strong foundation of data that supports a culture of authenticity, engagement, collaboration, and accountability.

You’ll learn to:

• Establish strong internal assessment processes to support continuous improvement.
• Define meaningful goals that tie back to your institutional vision and mission.
• Creatively leverage multiple solutions to gather essential information and glean insights.
