This webinar presents case studies for tying student and program assessment to broader goals. Speakers from three architecture programs will describe efforts to use assessment in revising their curricula, connecting to their college’s overarching goals, leveraging data and resources to set intentional student outcome goals, and engaging in collaborative equity-minded inquiry for continuous improvement and purposeful action.

This new book describes both the practices and the opportunities of assessment in design education. Assessment can be an important lever for the pursuit of equity and inclusion, and for communication with stakeholders. Assessment can improve curricular alignment, and help your program to pursue your own unique mission. This plainspoken handbook is designed to help architecture programs at any level of development to create, improve, and make use of relevant and powerful systems of assessment.
