  1. BIS and Assessment Working both sides of the same coin

  2. SO WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? • ASSESSMENT • Can schedule somewhat predictably • Can limit number of instruments to use • Can plan for demand and budget for numbers needed • Can offer multiple chances to succeed • BIS • May be asked to provide services on demand or with little planning time • May be asked for obscure or little-used tests • May be hit with budget surprises • Usually high-stakes, one shot opportunity

  3. FINDING COMMON GROUND • Spend time in the other “realm” • TALK (Try A Little Kindness) • Research possible instruments in advance for recommended use, validity, reliability, and cost • Train appropriate staff as proctors for fill-in duty • Leverage TIP money when possible; project 25% more expenditure than predictable

  4. IT MATTERS BECAUSE . . . • Businesses who hire the best employee “matches” are more likely to be productive and profitable. • Those businesses are often the first to expand and to need new hires. • If the assessment collaboration has been carefully built . . . • A trust relationship is more likely to exist; • Student assessment results will be better received and understood by the company.

  5. BOTTOM LINE = • BIS clients benefit by making better decisions based on data. • BIS department benefits by generating more contracts and services that are billable and/or reimbursable. • Full-time programs benefit by expanding guidance and counseling information, adding employment connections for students, and documenting skill levels (accountability).

  6. It’s essentially a matter of remembering to look at both sides of the coin.
