Step 8: Sustaining Assessment

Evaluate the training. Revise and modify the training using feedback and outcomes results.

Make training and updating available every year; catch those that want to begin after they have seen the outcomes.

Make improving learning an institutional goal, recognize and communicate.

Link future budgeting, employee time and attention, recognition and other resources to those areas that  show improvement. Improvement is the major purpose for assessment.

When improvement is documented, make it public to the community, students, faculty and staff.

Document the steps used to implement assessment – create a history of what has been done, share it a conference and with other institutions.
