Honors Assessment Institute
July 15-17, 2020 :: Lincoln, NE
The NCHC Honors Assessment institute consists of four parts: an overview of the basic principles of assessment, developing and evaluating strategic plans, using the NCHC Program Review instrument, and conducting an NCHC Program Review (one step in NCHC's Program Reviewer training process). Facilitators from several types of schools will lead this institute, and will each address different scenarios for each segment—applications for a two-year vs. four-year institution, honors program vs. honors college, etc. Come prepared for hands-on work—mostly application and activity rather than lecture.
