Most accreditation standards do not focus enough on teaching and learning. Accreditation, after all, is not about research but education.

In this episode, I interview Linda Suskie, a higher education assessment consultant, about two areas accreditation can help improve: faculty professional development and course design.

Join us as we discuss:

• The need for institutions to provide adequate support to help faculty learn about teaching methods
• A four-column course syllabi designed to motivate students
• How higher ed should communicate about learning
• Listening to why students are going to college and addressing learning outcomes that matter

Check out these resources we mentioned during the podcast:

• Dee Fink course design resources
• Reframing Assessment to Center Equity (forthcoming in 2022)
• How to Measure Anything by Douglas Hubbard
