The updated NSSE: Fresh opportunities to engage faculty in assessment results

Abstract

The updated National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) provides greater specificity on measures that matter for improving student learning. Yet, too often results reside at the institution-level, demonstrating grand measures of educational quality, and only occasionally getting to faculty to influence teaching and learning practice. The promise of assessment depends on growing and deepening faculty involvement and use of results. This session explores the question: "What do NSSE results mean for faculty?" Panelists and participants will address the topic and discuss ways to leverage student engagement results to inform instruction and efforts to enhance high-impact practices, guide faculty development initiatives, and connect to the scholarship of teaching and learning and projects to improve educational quality.
