Why Reconsider Assessment in Graduate Education? • National/International Contexts • Collective desire for better articulation of what students and communities can expect from educational experiences at all levels, including across borders • Strong interest in what investment yields • Higher education scholarship has laid a path toward high-quality educational practice. How do we benefit from this knowledge at the graduate level? • State/Local Contexts • Are we a good investment for ourselves as citizens to make? • Are we serving our communities in ways that enrich us all? • Programmatic Contexts • External review processes formerly felt like a summative judgment in which limitations were penalized • Paths through assessment that focus on learning and growth are possible • How are we doing in our (potentially transformative) educational relationships? • Can we do better? If so, how? For whom?
