Assessment Planning
Every office should have an annual assessment plan. Creating and implementing that plan shouldn't be the anxiety-ridden process it usually is to most staff.
​
We simplify the assessment process so it doesn't feel so overwhelming. We'll work with you to develop a plan that fits your needs, and you will no longer feel stressed out and intimidated by assessment. You might even enjoy it.
Program Review
Utilizing the guidelines from the Council for the Advancement of Educational Standards in Higher Education (CAS), we will create a specialized program review for your office or the entire department.
​
Program Review is a critical component of a long-term assessment plan.
Staff Development
If you're looking for improved communication and understanding among and from staff or faculty, we can help!
​
Utilizing the tool Real Colors®, a personality type assessment, we will create a staff development program or event based on the specific needs of your office and staff.
​
Take a look at our Staff Development page for a list of other topics that are also available.
