The Art of Assessment by Andrea Susnir Funk
Call Number: KF272 .F86 2017
ISBN: 9781611637359
Publication Date: 2017
While law faculty have always assessed their students, law schools have never before been required to systematically assess their program of legal education to determine whether they are achieving their goals. With the new ABA assessment standards in place, law schools must now do so. To many, this may seem like a Herculean task, but it need not be. This book is designed to help make assessment accessible, sustainable, and meaningful to all law school constituencies. It shows how individual faculty members and their institutions can create a genuine culture of assessment through the shared goal of improving student learning.

Changes to the ABA Standards, coupled with mandates from regional accreditors, will soon require every law school to adopt, implement, and use an institutional assessment plan based on the achievement of desired student learning outcomes. This guide, intended for law school administrators and faculty, will walk you through the process step by step, answering questions, giving tips on best practices, and, perhaps most importantly, providing you with an action list for developing your school's assessment planning strategy. Our goal is for you to finish this guide with a completed assessment plan in hand and an appreciation of how you can use outcomes assessment to enhance your students' learning experience.
