Continuous Improvement

Learning Improvement Stories

Tennessee State University uses a variety of ways to showcase excellence in teaching and program assessment work. Our faculty and assessment practitioners collaborate to identify learning improvement stories.  What do we mean by learning improvement - simply put, a change(s) in the learning environment that produces improved student learning or student learning experiences, evidenced by better student achievement.

Programmatic Best Practices

What works in assessment and student learning improvement?  As a part of the institutional accreditation process and institutional effectiveness model, programs demonstrate a systematic and continuous process of gathering data and evaluation of student performance on designated learning expectations and using the analysis of results to make data-driven improvements in the students' learning experiences.  That process can be cumbersome and difficult to manage.

Hear from your peers and how they have instituted scalable, institution-wide solutions that address the major methods needed to collect and report on student performance against learning outcomes.
