What does Middle States want to see when the visiting team returns for the next review?
Before the next team visit, we will submit the Periodic Review Report (PRR) in 2010 in which we detail our progress on all the 14 Standards, including the ones related to assessment. We will then prepare for the next team visit in 2015. MSCHE will want to see in the PRR discussion of our progress in assessment. When the team arrives in 2015, they will want to see the evidence that assessment is on-going, authentic, and closes the feedback loop. That means that faculty in programs use the results of the assessment process to effect positive change and growth. The team will ask for evidence that the institution has been strengthened as a direct result of assessment activities in programs of study, departments, schools, and administrative offices.
