Webinar Abstract:
Starting a new role in a new place can be overwhelming. Between understanding expectations for your new role, exploring team dynamics, and finding your way around campus, it is also important to get a sense of the culture of your department, division, and institution. It is likely the culture around assessment drives how your new colleagues define and measure success. This webinar will detail strategies that professionals new to a department or institution can apply in order to learn more about the assessment culture on their campus.
Learning Outcomes:
As a result of this webinar, attendees will:
1. Describe at least three factors that influence assessment cultures; and
2. Explain three potential strategies that any practitioners in any functional area can apply to understand the department and institutional assessment cultures; and
3. List three strategies new assessment leaders can use to understand the assessment culture in an assessment-specific role.
