This course builds off the Institutional Effectiveness and Assessment of Learning Outcomes Certificate programs to help the participants learn the competencies necessary for leading assessment initiatives on their campus. The competencies will be introduced through proven models of leadership and will include how to develop trust, effective communication practices, relationship management techniques, prioritize initiatives while adapting to challenging and uncertain times, and how to undertake a stakeholder analysis. Participants will apply what they learn directly to their campus context through interactive resources and engaging assignments that teach effective self-assessment and project management practices. The course is asynchronous, online using Brightspace with weekly assignments.
