2016-2017 Assessment Inquiry Grant
The Office of Assessment and Educational Effectiveness (OAEE) piloted the Assessment Inquiry Grant program, awarding $1,000 to departments that seek to go above-and-beyond their program-level assessment effort. Building upon the foundation of existing student learning outcome assessment process, the grant encourages faculty and departments to explore questions that are critical in understanding how and why student learning progresses, as well as pinpointing how to improve teaching and learning practices. In essence, the Assessment Inquiry Grant is designed to strengthen current assessment effort and to promote a scholarship of assessment. Ultimately, the hope is that diving deeper into how students are learning will promote a culture of data driven processes to improve student success.
For 2016-2017, seven grants were awarded and featured by the CSUF News Center
