Equity and Assessment

The crux of NASH’s Taking Student Success to Scale: High Impact Practices project is the intersection of quality and assessment with a constant attention to equity.  We have been lucky to have Natasha Jankowski, Director of the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA), join us this summer to work with the 22 TS3: HIPS campuses in developing their HIPs assessment plans. As we prepare to start a new academic year, I thought you might find NILOA’s occasional paper, “Equity and Assessment: Moving Towards Culturally Responsive Assessment” beneficial to your work.

 If you find this occasional paper interesting, I encourage you to check out the NILOA newsletter (and sign up!) at:
