Under most accreditation standards, Student Services are expected to show direct evidence of student learning. As practitioners we will need to provide compelling and measurable evidence of exactly what our students learn or do not learn. In the past, Student Services often relied on indirect measures of student learning. Evaluations, surveys, focus groups may ask participants questions such as, "Did you learn something from this program, workshop or event?" rather than actually demonstrate what students have learned. Student affairs and services departments have countless direct student learning assessment tools at their disposal, both qualitative and quantitative. This presentation will provide techniques, rubrics and examples of direct student learning outcomes that are customized to the College’s mission and strategic plan.   Workshop can be half-day or Full Day and will be tailored to your institutional needs.
