How to Become a Teagle Scholar
There are three ways to become a Teagle Assessment Scholar: two for people who have significant experience with assessment and one for people who are relatively new to assessment.
What constitutes having “significant” experience with assessment? We don’t have a strict definition, but we think that people who meet at least two of the following criteria fall into the more experienced category:
- Have familiarity with a variety of quantitative and qualitative approaches to assessment and are comfortable using assessment jargon.
- Have previously either directed your institution’s assessment efforts or have played a leadership role in institutional research.
- Have been engaged in departmental, program, campus, or grant-supported assessment and in doing so worked with multiple quantitative and qualitative outcome measures or interpreted multiple measures of student experience; shared assessment evidence with different constituencies on campus; engaged people in conversations to make sense of the data and figure out what it means for their departments, programs, and courses; and helped people on campus implement changes based on the data and evaluate the impact of those changes.
If you have significant experience with assessment activities at the department, program, or institutional level as described above, you may apply to become a Teagle Assessment Scholar. As a Teagle Scholar, you will have the opportunity to join site visit teams for consulting engagements with institutions and to help us facilitate multi-institution workshops at the Center of Inquiry or other locations. You will also have the opportunity to participate in Development Workshops, although priority will be given to scholars in the Development Program and scholars working on Campus Learning Projects. We hope scholars will be able to participate in one or two events each year.
Our Teagle Assessment Scholar Program is currently full, and we are not accepting applications at this time. As positions in the program open we will again take applications. We will update this page in January 2012 with more information about future application dates. Click here to see the previous application to the Teagle Assessment Scholar Program.
If you have significant experience with assessment and you would like to receive consulting support for an assessment project at your institution, you may also apply to the Teagle Assessment Scholar Program with a Campus Learning Project. Applications for the 2012 cohort will be available in spring 2012.
If you have limited experience with assessment, or if you are new to assessment, we invite you to apply to become a Teagle Assessment Scholar via the Teagle Assessment Scholar Development Program. Applications for the 2012 cohort will be available in spring 2012.
