Narrative Assessment Plan

Reflection

1. Briefly describe where you are in the assessment cycle; that is, what steps have you already accomplished. You might consider:
• What have you learned so far?
• Have you collected data? Have you analyzed/interpreted data?
• Have you made any changes to your programs?
• Do you have some activities, assignments, or processes already in place that could be revised slightly to inform program-level assessment?
2. Where are the gaps? What could be improved?
• Have you skipped any steps?
• Is there any you thing you should refine?
• What do you still want to know?
