Portfolio Project
In the fall of 2001, the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) commissioned a project to pilot the development of institutional assessment portfolios. The University of New Hampshire represents one of ten NEASC institutions selected to pilot the portfolios.
The portfolios serve as a vehicle for strengthening and making public what institutions are accomplishing in the assessment arena. Their primary purposes are to:
- provide documentation of student learning processes and outcomes within the context of each institution's distinctive mission
- enable presentation of the variety of ways that faculty, administrators, and students confirm the amount and quality of student learning that occurs, and how the curriculum and other campus experiences have impact on this learning
- encourage presentation of selected student learning assessment efforts at classroom, program and institution levels within a thematic emphasis determined by each institution that aligns with its strategic planning.
See Current Initiatives for a complete overview of the major efforts put forth in the past year.
