Unit/SPA Assessments

Program assessment is a continuous process that underlies all excellent programs of teaching and learning. Unit assessments, which includes all programs in the College of Education, and SPA assessments, which are specific to individual programs, have been established. The goal of these assessments is to direct improvement efforts in order to ensure program quality.

LiveText serves as a tool to enable the Unit and the individual SPA's to manage relevant data that measures the effectiveness of our programs.  Unit and SPA assessments are required in the courses listed below and must be completed in Live Text.
