Findings must have an interpretation and be put to use in some way. Multiple measures should be used to address the three domains of the conceptual framework. However, multiple measures are not limited to those measures listed here. Based upon assessment findings, units then determine changes to be made in teaching, learning, and curriculum. Unit's faculty should review its mission and goals and discuss any changes they may want to make.
Goals are the foundation for student achievement assessment.
They must be operationalized and measurable. Unit must indicate any changes to goals in the unit's plan. Unit's faculty should examine how assessment results have been used in the past. This is the time to revise the assessment process to create a feedback loop to students, faculty, and administration if such a loop does not already exist. Assessment should be used to redirect curriculum, teaching, and learning.
