Assessment Workshop
Schedule | Registration Information
The 2023 Summer Assessment Workshop will be held in-person on June 5, 6, and 7. Extended consultation will be offered June 8 and 9 for those wishing to work further with an Alverno consultant (extra fees apply).
This comprehensive, hands-on workshop will prepare education leaders to understand and explore learning outcomes, competency-based education, student-assessment-as learning, and institutional assessment while learning directly from Alverno College—a global leader.

- Design Institutional Strategies: Effectively align institutional/program/course outcomes, develop authentic assessment strategies, and build systemic support.
- Develop an Action Plan: Discuss practical approaches to further develop your unique curriculum and make it more responsive to diverse learners and real world contexts.
