The Institute is focused on providing developmental assessment knowledge and may not be the best professional development opportunity for more advanced practitioners.
INSTITUTE TRACKS
Assessment Institute attendees have the opportunity to select their track when they register for the Institute, making the experience educationally catered to each registrants professional journey. Tracks help guide attendees session selections at the Institute based on their focus area or role with assessment.
The following tracks will be offered at the 2026 Institute:
-
Student Affairs Educator Track – Sessions will be focused on building assessment knowledge, confidence, and skills. Specifically, this track focuses on the following aspects of the assessment cycle: (a) writing goals, outcomes, and objectives, (b) designing theory- and evidence-based strategies, (c) implementing those strategies alongside a measurement plan, and (d) interpreting and using results for improvement plans and impact stories. This track will also cover quick measurements that student affairs educators can implement to inform improvement of the current student experience.
Student Affairs Assessment Practitioner Track – Sessions will be focused on expanding assessment knowledge, confidence, and skills for current or aspiring student affairs assessment specialists. Specifically, this track focuses on the methodological process: (a) designing a measurement plan, (b) collaborating with student affairs educators to implement that measurement plan alongside strategies, and (c) analyzing data and reporting results. This track will focus on measurements that departments and divisions can leverage to inform improvement of future student experiences and share impact stories.
Department and Divisional Leader Track – The act of assessment is more than measurement - it requires leaders to take an active role. Therefore, these sessions will focus on leading the assessment process from a big-picture perspective for department and divisional leaders. Specifically, this track will advance knowledge, confidence, and skills related to: (a) strategic planning, (b) identifying opportunities for data-collection collaboration, (c) data-informed reflection and decision-making, and (d) storytelling. This track will focus on assessment as a leadership process for quality improvement efforts and impact storytelling.
