We have written a report with an analysis of data regarding the 3,081 students at 19 institutions that participated in the first round of the Wabash National Study in the 2006–2007 academic year. Read "Overview of Findings from the First Year of the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education" to learn about our preliminary findings.
Read "Engaging Institutions in Improving Student Learning through a National Study," by Charles Blaich, Kathleen Wise, and Deborah Butler (PDF), which discusses the challenges of using evidence to make changes on campuses and presents "lessons learned" about collaborating with institutions to create assessment programs that will strengthen student learning. This paper was part of a presentation at the Higher Learning Commission Annual Meeting on April 13.

The Center of Inquiry has recently been awarded a generous grant from the Teagle Foundation to invite 15 additional institutions to join the Wabash National Study in fall 2008. This next round of the study will include a number of support activities designed to help institutions use study data to improve student learning. These activities, which will require important commitments on the part of participating institutions and the Center, incorporate many of the lessons the Center has learned over the first two years of the study. Details about participating in the next round of the study may be found in the Call for Participation.

With generous support from the Teagle Foundation and the Lilly Endowment, Inc., the Center of Inquiry and Teagle Assessment Scholars collaborate with faculty and staff at liberal arts institutions to build stronger assessment programs. Our goal is to help campuses develop and implement approaches to assessment that are consistent with their individual missions and distinct cultures. More>> |
