  20. Next Steps

  21. Start Small but Start

  22. Blaich, C.F. & Wise, K.S. (2011, January). From Gathering to Using Assessment Results: Lessons from the Wabash National Study (NILOA Occasional Paper No.8). Urbana, IL: University for Illinois and Indiana University, National Institute of Learning Outcomes Assessment. Assessment data has legs only if the evidence collected rises out of extended conversations across constituencies about: (a) what people hunger to know about their teaching and learning environments and (b) how the assessment evidence speaks to those questions. (pg. 12)

  23. Taking Your Next Steps • Determine your team/audience • Articulate your data questions • Establish which data to track and how often • Start!!! Perfect is the Enemy of Good
