Grant Summary
$150,000 over 36 months to support a national effort by organizations and groups representing and supporting higher education in the assessment of, and accountability for, student learning outcomes—in order to improve student learning. One major goal of the "Alliance" is to encourage institutions to: 1) set forth clear and ambitious goals for learning, 2) gather evidence about how well their students are achieving those goals, and 3) ensure that the institutions use the resulting information to improve their programs. A second goal is to promote good communication within the higher education community and to the general public about this work.
