Session One:  Identifying Data Takeaways

July 25, 2023; 9:30am – 11:00am

During this session, we will unpack different ways that Exploratory Data Analysis can assist in our efforts to make sense of our quantitative assessment data in deeper and more illuminating ways. And we will identify approaches to connect pattern identification and conclusions from quantitative and qualitative assessment data to consider what it could mean for our teaching practices.

Session Two:  Communicating with and from Data

August 22, 2023; 9:30am – 11:00am

When we work with data we should be consistently talking to one another to seek and receive feedback about our ideas, our data collection and processing approaches, our data analyses, and our conclusions. We will explore ways to integrate the iterative nature of communication and feedback into our process of making sense of assessment data so that it is not on each of us individually to “go it alone”.
