Project Assessment is a new online library that features assessment examples created by the participants at the 2016 APA Summit on National Assessment of Psychology held at the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay.
Project Assessment includes tools that are aligned with the learning goals and outcomes described in the APA Guidelines for the Undergraduate Psychology Major: Version 2.0opens in new window (PDF, 447KB). In these goals-focused strategies, the examples identify, wherever possible, the following elements:
- The goals and corresponding indicators that can be measured.
- An overview that includes the nature of the course or courses in which the practice could be implemented.
- Formal assignment instructions.
- Grading rubrics.
In addition, Project Assessment also features resources and strategies that support the challenges of program level assessment at the associate and baccalaureate levels.
