This training module will help you to:

Keep this in mind...
...as you start your assessment journey:
- What result are you aiming for?
- Without clearly identifying this, it will be easy to get lost in a maze of ideas and plans, and before you know it, you've collected useless data that doesn't measure your success.
- Assessment is the best way to highlight your program or department's success and reenergize your efforts toward greater achievements!
- Although assessment takes effort, your hard work will be rewarding!
- Use the ATU Assessment Cycle worksheet and get started on your assessment cycle.
