Assessment of student learning has remained central to teaching and learning. The focus on assessment outside of the classroom, however, is more recent. As expectations for systematic and continuous assessment within administrative, educational, and student support (AES) units have increased, the College’s goal is to integrate AES assessment into existing assessment structures and cultures.
BMCC asserts that AES assessment is as important to supporting and improving student learning as assessment within academic departments. Resources such as the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS), a group of professional associations in higher education, promotes the use of its professional standards for the development, assessment, and improvement of quality student learning, programs, and services.
