PLANNING AND ASSESSMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Demonstrating Institutional Effectiveness
In this era of increasing pressure on higher education institutions for accountability, Planning and Assessment in Higher Education is an essential resource for college and university leaders and staff charged with the task of providing evidence of institutional effectiveness. Michael F. Middaugh, a noted expert in the field, shows how colleges and universities can successfully measure student learning and institutional effectiveness and use these results to create more efficient communications with both internal and external constituencies as well as promote institutional effectiveness to support student learning.
"How can the assessment of institutional effectiveness be used to provide a solid foundation for planning? Middaugh has crafted a comprehensive, practical guide that also explains what accrediting agencies really want and need to know about these topics."
-- Elizabeth H. Sibolski, executive vice president, Middle States Commission on Higher Education
"Only Michael Middaugh, the unquestioned national leader in this field, could write such a lucid overview of how to make institutional assessment and planning really work as a tool rather than as a tedious requirement. He helped invent and shape the focus of national assessment rubrics and now offers his insights into how to make them work for your institution."
-- John C. Cavanaugh, chancellor, Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education
"Middaugh provides extremely helpful and practical guidance and insights on how colleges and universities can use assessment tools and frameworks to improve both academic programs and administrative operations. A valuable and timely book for all higher education leaders."
-- James P. Honan, senior lecturer on education, Harvard Graduate School of Education
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The national context for assessment -- Starting at the beginning: mission-driven planning and assessment -- Assessing institutional effectiveness: student issues -- A core issue in institutional effectiveness: developing sensible measures of student learning -- Maximizing human and fiscal resources in support of the teaching/learning process -- A comparative context for examining data on teaching loads and instructional costs -- measuring administrative effectiveness -- Communicating assessment results -- Where do we go from here?
"This book helps colleges and universities respond to the increasing pressures for accountability by giving them the tools to demonstrate institutional effectiveness. The author is in a unique position to help his colleagues, since he comes at the topic from multiple perspectives, being both a leading practitioner and researcher: Assistant VP for Institutional Research and Planning at his university, director of a national research project on costs of instruction, as well as Vice Chair of an accreditation agency. While many books address the issue of assessing student learning outcomes, this book provides expert guidance for assessing and promoting institutional effectiveness in supporting student learning. The book's chapters cover every aspect from the overall context of the issue, through measures of effectiveness, to communicating with the public, and concludes with a guide to resources"--Provided by publisher.
