This presentation focuses on explaining the assessment cycle used for evaluation of student learning in academic advising (Maki, 2004). First, the session explains the foundational pieces of mission, vision, goals, and objectives. Next, the focus moves to student learning outcomes and mapping outcomes to advising activities. Once this step is complete, evidence is gathered through various measurement tools. Once data exist, analysis occurs to understand the current state of advising. Finally, the cycle concludes with change. Change takes many forms, and then the cycle begins again for on-going enhancements that impact student success. Throughout participants will test their understanding with interactive activities. The goal is to introduce the assessment process and suggest resources for continued learning.
