Academic Assessment - Improving Teaching and Learning at Lake Superior College
Welcome!
Kent Richards

I’ve been privileged to teach at LSC since 1996, and I’ve been involved with academic assessment for most of that time.  I’ve come to know and appreciate, first hand, that assessment of student learning isn’t extra uncompensated work.  Rather, it’s an inherent part of our jobs as professional educators.

 

My position as Academic Assessment Coordinator was created five years ago, formalizing and extending the College’s strong commitment to faculty-led academic assessment.  My charge is to lead our academic assessment activities, including supporting faculty efforts both individually and collectively. 

 

I’m fully committed to the notion of intentionality.  Thoughtful reflection about what we are teaching and how we are teaching it is critical.  We should keep doing what works and stop doing what doesn’t work.  Academic assessment can help us, individually and as a faculty, know the difference.
