    ABOUT EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT

    Santa Clara University is committed to an education of the whole person in the Jesuit tradition that prepares students to contribute to a more humane, just, and sustainable world. Educational Assessment plays a leadership role in identifying institutional evidence of the ways in which students develop a set of lifelong habits of mind and heart through a personalized, integrative, and rigorous Jesuit education.

    Located within the Provost's Office, Educational Assessment provides leadership and management in the coordination of university-wide efforts to support and improve student learning. As a unit that includes assessment of academic learning and co-curricular learning, it models a holistic and integrative approach to teaching, learning, and the ways of demonstrating student learning. Assessment at SCU is driven by a commitment to fostering collaborative, meaningful, and sustainable processes of inquiry to ensure that all of our programs' educational aspirations for student achievement and performance are realized.

    Educational Assessment contributes directly to critical institutional assessment-related priorities, including the program review process, WSCUC accreditation and other specialized accreditors, and university and divisional strategic planning. Educational Assessment provides support for the assessment efforts of faculty, staff, and other assessment coordinators in all undergraduate and graduate academic programs, the University Core Curriculum, Student Life, Undergraduate Studies, and other centers or units on campus that offer academic or co-curricular learning experiences. As teaching and learning is central to the mission, vision, and strategic priorities of Santa Clara University, Educational Assessment works particularly closely with Faculty Development and Academic Technology in SCU's teaching center (currently called the Faculty Collaborative for Teaching Innovation) to use institution-wide assessment results to guide reflection, planning, and decisions about pedagogy and curricula.

    Educational Assessment is committed to innovative and evidence-based practices in the assessment of student learning. It has created programs to bring students directly into the work of assessment and to attend to issues of equity by promoting culturally responsive assessment to recognize and support the needs of SCU's increasingly diverse populations. Working with others in the Provost's Office, Educational Assessment collaborates on resources and tools for institutional transformation; development and delivery of evidence-based interventions; assists campus partners in their work; and advocates for institutional policies in support of student learning and success.
