  1. GAIL : Intro
  2. GAIL There are two operative terms in the title of our presentation: Assessment, and Non Traditional Assessment can be a daunting word, but it’s actually something that faculty have a LOT of experience. Our work in higher education has three components: Teaching, Service, and Research. Because Assessment is a form of research, we can use our skills in one domain to inform our work in another. So for the purposes of this presentation, Assessment is a form of research, whether it’s an investigation into what students know/understand, how a program is going, etc.
  3. GAIL : For the purpose of this presentation, Non-Traditional is any student or program that doesn’t fit into the straight-from-high school, residential undergraduate experience. Let’s begin by looking at the characteristics of a non-traditional student, and then extend into the characteristics of a non-traditional program … and in doing do, it becomes obvious that non-traditional is actually the norm. (Source: National Center for Educational Statistics) Put yourself in the shoes of this type of learner. As a “non-traditional” student, What are your most pressing concerns? What are your needs? What are your interests? What are your goals?
  4. Gail: Once again, put yourselves in the learner’s shoes. As a “non-traditional” student, What kinds of course WORK would be most relevant and engaging to you? What kinds of assessment would be most appropriate for this type of course work?
  5. SARAH: Describe the format and features of these programs

  8. Gail: Pick the example that is most closely aligned with your profession.
